General
People who own a recording studio tend to acquire so much gear over the years, that after a while they'll find themselves in need of a central controller. Fortunately, Mackie provides the perfect solution, in the shape of the Big Knob. This device owes its name to the large volume knob that takes a central position on the control panel. Of course, the Big Knob is capable of more than just controlling your sound levels.
Mackie Big Knob: central control
A built-in talkback microphone puts you in direct contact with the artists working in the recording booth. It can be operated by means of a foot switch, so your hands are free for other tasks. With the Big Knob's source system, you can control several monitor speakers, making it the central switching module in your studio chain.
Connectors
This Mackie features sixteen 6.3mm jack output connectors (eight stereo), and various buttons and knobs that allow you to adjust dB levels. At the top you'll find two headphone outputs, which enable you to hear both your mix output and your various sources. Mackie's Big Knob is more than just a big volume knob - it's a comprehensive system that controls all kinds of inputs and outputs.

Meerdere outputs voor t afmixen op verschillende monitors.
Talkback nog niet kunnen testen.
Tot nu toe heel tevreden.

Uitvoering is goed en degelijk.
Nadeel is dat je wel een enorme bos snoeren van- en naar het kastje krijgt als je alle mogelijkheden wilt gebruiken!
Hoofdtelefoonuitgangen kunnen een goed volume produceren.
De talkback komt wat traag in, zodat een eerste woord vaak verloren gaat.
Daarbij ruist het talkback microfoontje alsof je naast de Niagara waterval staat...

Wat betreft de Big Knob:
+ Rubuuste bouw
+ Goede geluidskwaliteit (hoofdtelefoonuitgangen kunnen ook erg hard trouwens)
- Van mij had er op de achterkant wel een regelbare hoofdtelefoon uitgang
mogen zitten, die er nu opzit is niet regelbaar.

Het apparaat heeft nog een hoop extra functies die ik niet gebruik, maar wie weet komen ze in de toekomst van pas. Prima geluidskwaliteit en een prima prijs.
