Integrated Monitoring And Control

At the heart of the Big Knob Studio is its tactile control system, designed to simplify your workflow. Choose between three input sources and two pairs of monitors with ease, using the classic oversized volume knob for precise level adjustment. The Mono, Mute, and Dim functions give you instant access to critical listening tools, while independent trims on all sources and monitor outputs ensure your levels stay consistent.

High-Resolution USB Audio Interface

The built-in 192kHz / 24-bit recording interface turns the Big Knob Studio into a fully functional hub for any recording setup. Dual Onyx™ mic preamps provide exceptional clarity and detail, suitable for condenser and dynamic microphones alike. A zero-latency cue mix function allows musicians to monitor direct inputs alongside DAW playback, making recording sessions smooth and efficient.

Comprehensive Studio Connectivity

The Big Knob Studio provides flexible connectivity options, including balanced and unbalanced inputs, a 1/8” stereo input for portable devices, and dual headphone outputs with independent volume controls—perfect for multiple performers. A built-in talkback microphone allows effortless communication between control room and recording space, while 16-segment LED metering offers clear, accurate level monitoring.

Included Software Bundle

Every Mackie Big Knob Studio includes Waveform OEM™ DAW, a full-featured digital audio workstation with unlimited tracks, powerful editing tools, and full plug-in support. You also get the DAW Essentials Collection™, featuring 16 high-quality plug-ins such as EQ, Compressor, Reverb, Limiter, and Phaser—everything you need to produce, mix and master professional-sounding projects right out of the box.

Really happy with the PC and the service received. Communication was excellent throughout the build process. All delivered in good time and received with plenty of helpful advice, especially from Kieran after delivery to help me set it up.

Will definitely recommend. Many thanks

Snark SN1X Clip On Guitar Tuner - Blue

Ordered guitar strings which arrived in two days, inside package was an offer for a guitar tuner which also arrived in two days. Excellent customer service.

Terence Hamilton
Audio Direct

At the offer price this was very good value for money. I have generally found Snark tuners to be very good although with the low tunings I use I often find they can take a little time to give an accurate reading moving from string to string. Otherwise, Great!

Jake Glanville
Snark SN1X Clip On Guitar Tuner - Blue

The Snark SN1X clip on guitar tuner is a very handy and accurate tuner, very easy to use and at a great prices too! 👍🌟🍺😸

Jason Davey
Snark SN1X Clip On Guitar Tuner - Blue

This is my second Snark Tuner, there are various versions, this one is for use at home the other is RF shielded and has rubber protection incase dropped. Both work excellent and are the best clip-on tuners I have used. The service given by Audio Direct was first class, Dave even telephoned me to discuss a query I had not something many online traders would do so overall 10/10

NUX Loop Core Stereo Looper Pedal

It sounds like it's supposed to sound, easy to shape the tone on each of my electric guitars. Yes, each of the amplugs is a one (or two) trick pony, but they do what they're supposed to well, and they each sound like the amp they emulate.
