MACKIE MCU PRO

Modern music DAW software offers producers almost limitless possibilities when working with audio, which takes a toll in the form of long hours spent in front of a computer, keyboard and mouse. Gone is the feeling familiar from analogue consoles, where your mix responds to a fader flick or potentiometer turn, which feels very natural and in many ways more accurate, as it allows you to focus better on the matter at hand. If you want to feel the music under your hands again, even in a digital studio, this controller is for you.

The Mackie MCU PRO offers a total of nine motorised faders, eight for individual tracks and one master, plus an unlimited number of banks can be assigned to them, so you can have the whole mix under control. The faders are 100mm wide, highly sensitive and above all motorised. Entering automations and levels is a breeze with them. A strip of LEDs around both the faders and the eight potentiometers informs the user of the volume levels of each track. There are also dedicated buttons for solo, record, mute or channel selection.

A two-line, backlit LCD display keeps you informed of all your mix information. For example, it displays track name, routing information, plug-ins, equalization or dynamics. So you don't have to constantly check everything on your computer monitor and concentrate fully on your work.

MCU PRO is designed to work with all popular DAW software. Moreover, it can be fully customized to yours by setting the parameters in the corresponding menu.

If eight faders aren't enough, the MCU can be conveniently expanded by an additional eight faders using the MCU XT unit. The expansions can be combined to create an entire console.

Don't strain your wrists and eyes by endlessly sitting at the keyboard and mouse. With the Mackie MCU PRO, you'll be in full control of your music projects.
