These buttons invite you to press more than one at once to mix multiple sources together, but this doesn't entirely work, as we shall see later on! Each input channel also has an insert, so you can easily patch in a hardware compressor. InputsĪlthough the Satellite only provides two input channels to your DAW software, the Base Station has a total of eight physical inputs on the back: each input channel has a choice of an XLR microphone input, two (balanced or unbalanced) line-input jacks, or a high-impedance instrument-input jack, and there is a corresponding row of eight source-selection buttons on the front panel. The back panel of the Pod is hidden when the unit is docked, so you will need to use the Base Station's inputs instead. Laptops with four-pin Firewire connections are unable to power the Pod, so there is also a connector for the wall-wart PSU supplied. Finally there's a pair of headphone output jacks with a pair of corresponding volume controls.Īt the back of the Pod we find two Neutrik combi jack/XLR inputs, a pair of control-room jack outputs and a six-pin Firewire port.

A single button turns on 48V phantom power for both XLR inputs, with a green LED indicator next to it to warn you it is active, while another pair of green LEDs indicate when the unit has power and whether it sees a valid Firewire connection.

The Pod's front panel provides gain controls for the two Onyx mic preamps, plus a pair of buttons to select instrument inputs, and rudimentary four-LED level meters. When undocked, the Pod is small and neat and fits easily into a bag with a laptop. It feels reassuringly solid, and the build quality seems to be up to the usual Mackie standards.

The unit looks very stylish sitting on my desktop: the 'Onyx' black finish gives it a smart and professional appearance, while the cooling vents and the protruding Pod manage to lend it a slightly retro, valve-amp sort of character. The idea behind this arrangement is that the Base Station can be left wired into your studio setup, with mics, instruments and monitors all left permanently hooked up and ready for use, then when you want to work on the move you simply slide out the Pod and pop it into your bag with the laptop. The larger of the two parts is the 'Base Station' which provides analogue inputs and outputs, source selection and monitor level controls, plus a slot in its slanted top designed to hold the smaller 'Pod' unit. It doesn't do MIDI at all, has no digital I/O and doesn't offer any on-board DSP processing, but what it does provide is a pair of good-quality mic preamps and some useful monitor controller functions, as well as the innovative two-part docking design that gives it its name. The Onyx Satellite is a 24-bit, 96kHz Firewire audio interface providing two analogue inputs and up to six analogue outputs. The Mackie Satellite is an audio interface with a unique two-piece design - but is it genius or gimmickry?
