Mackie’s Onyx Blackbird Premium 16x16 FireWire Recording Interface delivers industry-leading recording quality via eight boutique-quality Onyx preamps and high-end 24-bit/96kHz conversion in a sleek rackmount design. True analog hardware monitoring, in both mono and stereo, provide simple zero-latency recording, while onboard word clock and 8x8 ADAT I/O allow for ultimate expandability. Two front panel Super Channels provide quick access to crucial recording tools and the powerful Blackbird Control DSP Matrix Mixer allows for quick mix creation and routing of any input to any output. Plus, since it works as a standalone 8-channel preamp rack, Blackbird offers a single box solution ready for integration into your studio or digital live setup.

Good looking Solid interface!
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
This unit has just about everything. Too many features to list (read the AMS info on the left :) ). The best feature though would have to be the Blackbirds monitoring controls on the front. They're just "right there" in your face with two firm hard rubber knobs for the headphone volume housing a powerful amp built in which some units skimp on.
Ease of Use
How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be?
It was SO easy hooking this unit up. Very user friendly. The knobs are easy to turn, not because they turn "thin" but because they have a nice feel to them as they have a "thick" turn and stick out from the panel just the right distance. All buttons seem to be just in the right place geometrically speaking and the ones by the two main channels even have a cool guitar graphic on them letting you know it's the one to push for high-z inputs such as a guitar. Just leave it out when you're using a condenser mic, for example.
Value
Was this item an overall good value?
The overall value is good on this product mainly because of it's high quality AD converters (which is what we're all after).
