Mackie Big Knob Passive

Vocals too high in the mix? Too low? Not even sure? Snare sounds wonky? And how do I make everything louder than everything else? Step in, step in, for your mix Viagra from people who know the secrets.

Mackie Big Knob Passive

Post by liv_rong »

I was just thinking about how I had a receiver and some speakers and was thinking about possibly using them to A/B between those and my V8's. I used to have a Samson C-Control for years but I eventually sold my other monitors and I still used the C-control for the dim and mute function but I then it crapped out so I tossed it. So I just went and checked Sweetwater to see what was out there now and Mackie has revamped the Big Knob into a few different models. The one I'm thinking about is simple and cheap, $70 for two sources and two monitors. Looks nice.

What does the Big Knob do?

I have a receiver, too. That's my "power amp". I have my studio speakers plugged into it, along with a cheap pair of speakers that are about 40ft. away, in my gym. I just select A or B, or both. What would the Big Knob do that I'm not able to do right now?

Oh ok, so that's what it does? Cool. I'd probably dig something like that if I wasn't already set up the way I am.
