Mackie Big Knob Studio Monitor Controller Measurements

I've been waiting on this Mackie Big Knob Studio Monitor Controller and Interface forever, finally B&H got them available, so i went ahead and get one, so far so great, sounds clean and crisp no coloration additive. I'm thinking about getting another one. I've tested the Onyx Mic pre's in Logic pro x, very clean, Mackie Big Knob Studio being advertised only at 24/96KHZ, it goes up to 192KHZ...

Very robust Studio Monitor controller. Has a big volume knob to passively control the volume of you studio monitors. Has a mute push in button:source, mono, monitor buttons as well.

Simple and rock solid studio monitor knob! If you own multiple studio speakers. This is a must! Mackie does its job as always!

I ordered some studio monitors to go along with this controller and it works great for what I need. Buttons are pronounced and the knob is big enough to know where you are setting your volume. Its a great controller for any speaker/monitor setup. Very simple and easy to install also.

Needed a monitor station when my well known big knob controller finally became unusable. The Palmer Monicon XL is a definite improvement, not only in function but in audio performance. Everything sounds better! Simple user interface has a lot of functionality with the setup options.

I never paid attention to a monitor controller until I added a new set of monitors and kept my old ones so I could A/B them during mixes. The Big Knob has exceeded my expectations on every level. My previous experiences with Mackie have been less than impressive, but I can't detect any noise, hiss, or degradation in sound while using it. The buttons work as promised, and the master volume knob is silky smooth allowing me to dial in the volume perfectly. I had an issue before I bought this where my old monitors would randomly issue a loud pop when on but not in use. Since adding the Big Knob that has gone away. It's hard to believe I had this much improvement for under $70.

I edit videos for corporations and non-profits. I needed something simple, high quality and small to control volume and switch between input sources. The Mackie Big Knob passive fit my needs perfectly. I've used the original Big Knob in the past, but it would overkill for my home edit system with a BlackMagic Design Intensity Pro interface and KRK Rockit 5 monitors. If you have self powered speakers and an audio/video interface without a volume control, the Mackie Big Knob Passive is what you need. Transparent sound control and dead simple to set up.

This monitor mount works better than any of the too-many-others that I have tried. The big-enough tightening knob is most useful. If I needed a second monitor mount I would buy another one of these.

This studio monitor control may be passive, but its knob is anything but. Simple setup, minimal cables. Elegant buttons, and one glorious beast of a knob with butter smooth movement.

I needed a monitor controller for my studio for two pairs of speakers and a couple of inputs. As much as some of the functionality of active monitor controllers appeals to me, the sound quality is first and foremost. And we all know that unless you spend $3k - $10k most active systems severely color your sound - a little more than my current budget. I wasn't sure what to expect with this affordable passive controller however, after spending a few weeks with it I can say without a doubt that it is a great addition to my studio. I hear no coloration or change to the stereo sound field. The Mute, Dim, and Mono sum functions are really handy. And the build quality feels good under your hand. My only complaint is that it would be nice if the knob travel was detented for repeatable levels. Two Big Thumbs Up!
