MACKIE MDB-USB Stereo Direct Box Black

The USB version is great. Solidly built, pleasing to use and crystal clear audio. Couldn't be happier.

Muy bueno

I own the Radial, Mackie and Peavey USB Boxes. The Peavey box seriously lacks output, so much so it is unacceptable. The Radial has incredible fidelity and output. The Mackie is very close to the Radial in every respect. If you're using it at home to integrate active studio monitors to your computer, it's perfect. If you're needs are professional, get the Radial and spend the extra $100.00.

ステージ上でPCやタブレットからPAにオケや動画の音声出しをすることが増えていますが、シンプルかつ安価にそれを実現するアイテムです。細いケーブルを引き回さずに済むのでノイズと無縁になりますし、GNDリフトスイッチがあるのでハムともさよならできます。不安定で事故の元でしかないミニプラグを使わずに済むのはありがたい。volノブが出っ張ってるのが残念なので星4つ。

Shifted from on-keyboard audio processing to iPad based midi-processing through a controller. As we swapped over from our previous keyboard->Mackie stereo DI setup to the iPad->Mackie USB DI things were no longer silent - instead we discovered this DI introduced a static/white noise floor that doesn't exist from any of our other MDB devices. It worked well with the iPad detecting it immediately as an audio capable device and audio routing was a snap. So on the compatibility side - it's a win. But the sound is poor. Could just be a defective unit. Will try an exchange and see if that fixes the issue before returning it and going Whirlwind USB DI.

I needed one of these for main PC audio to capture game audio and some OBS monitored stuff and another one to capture communications audio, so I could feed that to another channel with it's own mix that went back out to a BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UMC202HD, 2-Channel from that bus, so the people on coms wouldn't have to hear themselves come back at them. I also had another UMC202HD to capture the main mix from the mixer to throw into OBS. Both devices are plug and play and are completely clean without buzz/noise. I used to run everything through the 1/8 inch jacks on the PC because it was good enough, but then I picked up a ton of cable whine and ground buzz out of no where that I couldn't seem to eliminate even though everything was running through a power conditioner. These devices solved my problems and have been work horses in my studio ever since.
