An essential for the home studio. The Mackie Onyx Artist 1.2 Interface is the perfect USB audio interface for singer-songwriters. You can record two inputs say a microphone and guitar at the same time thanks to the XLR and TRS (1/4 inch jack) inputs. It?s designed to make recording as straightforward as possible. That?s why it has built-in 48v phantom power so you can power condenser microphones without an external power supply. The interface itself is powered by USB.
