Mackie MDB-1A

"Klein aber fein"

Using on daily basis.

Don't need to be powered (48V Phantom) in order to pass signal thru it so you can leave it plugged in.

Works perfectly with any guitar and bass, passive or active (pad switch helps when signal is too hot).

It is lightweight but feels very solid thanks to the metal casing.

I can't find anything negative about it, it just does what it supposed to.

Overall, a fine and practical for someone who want to record their instrument.

Robust, handy format, discrete design, rugged. Stereo channels can be merged together and only demand 1 channel on the mixer or amplifier. Works perfect on phantom power. Warning: always start in the lowest -dB setting since the output is very strong. Gives a clear sound with no losses in any frequency. Perfect for acoustic, low output instruments.
