Does anyone know how much the new Mackie ONYX mixers will cost when they hit the street? They seem to be rather decent mixers, with great pres, and you can add a Firewire I/O card to them. That'll make them ideal front ends for smaller studios, I guess. I consider getting the 1640 model.

Any ideas?
 
Where did you hear that they have great pres? I wonder if these will beat out the Soundcraft M Series pres?

Also curious as to the rest of the board. The EQ used to have a terrible rep, one of the reasons to go to the Soundcraft. Also I believe I heard there were headroom issues (with the busses?) or something.

If those were all fixed then Smackie might get some change from me.

Well, I just read in an article in the MIX magazine and on the Mackie web site that the new pres are dramatically better than the old ones. I like the Spirit series mixers a lot, too, but the built quality is not as good, especially the plastic faders, which I find horrible.
