Mackie Big Knob
Desktop audio control center
The Big Knob is a simple yet powerful desktop audio control center that
lets you get right to the business of making music in four major ways:
Level Control, Studio Monitor Selection, Input Source Selection and Talkback
& Headphone Control.
Precise Level Control
Using a big, convenient volume knob, Big Knob lets you adjust volume levels
with a simple, intuitive knob. This results in a higher degree of precision
and much quicker level adjustments.
Monitor Selection
Big Knob lets you quickly switch between 3 pairs of studio monitors, or
2 studio monitors and a subwoofer, or studio monitors and a home stereo,
or any other combination of powered speakers.
Source Selection
On the input side, Big Knob lets you connect up to 4 stereo input sources
at once. This means you can simultaneously connect to your computer/DAW
outputs, CD player, cassette deck and even a turntable using the premium
onboard RIAA preamp. You can even connect keyboards, guitars, drum machines,
samplers - anything you'd like to hear - through your monitors.
Talkback Section & Headphone Control
With its built-in Talkback mic and spring-loaded activation switches,
Big Knob lets you quickly communicate with musicians in both the studio
and tracking room. Big Knob also sports two high-powered headphone outputs
with a discrete headphone mix bus.
All the Right Connections
On the Big Knob's rear panel you'll find three distinct Monitor outputs
with individual level control; 2-Track A and 2-Track B stereo outputs
with level selection switches; a DAW stereo output for your computer;
a Studio output with level control; a Phones Mix input with level selection
switch; 2-Track A and 2-Track B Stereo Source inputs with level control;
a DAW Mix input from your computer with level control; and even a Phono
input with level control for direct connection to your turntable.
Sound Quality
Big Knob features ultra low-noise op amps, extremely low-tolerance components
and state-of-the-art surface mount technology. All of this ensures superb
sound in critical listening environments and long-term reliability.
