Met hulp van een zeer hulpvaardige medewerker bij Bax viel mijn keuze op de "Mackie Big Knob Studio+ monitor controller/interface". Een prima apparaat van uitstekende kwaliteit! Wel wat minder aansluitmogelijkheden dan mijn oude Samson, maar dat heb ik opgelost met een eenvoudige (passieve) switch, de "Nedis Analoge Audio-Switch (4-poorts)", waardoor toch 3 apparaten extra konden worden aangesloten (dat eenvoudige ding zou Bax eigenlijk ook moeten verkopen!).
De Mackie Big Knob Studio+ monitor controller/interface" is een prima apparaat, de service van Bax was uitstekend, de prijs was redelijk en de levering snel! Ik ben zeer tevreden.
================================
PS:
Wat min-puntjes aan het adres van Mackie:
- downloaden van de USB-driver (Windows 10) op de site van Mackie lukte niet.
- de uitleg over de CUE-instelling en over het USB-gebruik bij deze Mackie is mij onvoldoende duidelijk (ook geen Nederlandstalige handleiding erbij).
- Mackie bleek telefonisch niet bereikbaar.
- Ik heb geen los steuntje kunnen vinden waarmee ik de Big Knob wat gekanteld op mijn desk zou kunnen plaatsen (wat voor mij praktisch zou zijn).
Zoals in de omschrijving te lezen heb je veel mogelijkheden ivm het aansluiten van microfoons, instrumenten of USB. De 2 microfooningangen doen wat ze moeten doen. Verschillende volumes als je wilt luisteren op verschillende luidsprekers.
Enige minpunt: In het begin heb ik ruis op 1 kant. Na verloop van tijd is deze wel weg. Het is zoals een sporter, heeft opwarming nodig.
Ook ik had een probleem met een krakende/lekkende volume knop maar dit is meer voorkomend bij dit model en makkelijk te verhelpen. Deze video op YT gevonden waarin simpel wordt uitgelegd hoe dit te verhelpen: https://youtu.be/I5zhDF_TqK8?si=_R05FDE2wxU7Wlc4
Doe er je voordeel mee! ;)
De hoofdtelefoon zit goed op de oren en is gemakkelijk in te stellen met de plastic band. Wie voor de MC-450 gaat heeft een metalen versie.
Het geluid is zeer aangenaam voor mij als beginnend sound designer. Hoge en lage tonen klinken duidelijk en dat laat toe om de juiste nuances in muziek en effecten te leggen. Waarschijnlijk krijg je voor een hogere prijs een breder frequentiebereik en nog scherpere klanken, maar voor 78 euro krijg je met de MC-150 meer dan waar voor je geld.
Het enige nadeel is de input gevoeligheid van de mic line. Ik heb een devine bm-500, ik hoor sinds ik deze interface heb dat ik heel zacht te verstaan ben. maar als ik de input volume helemaal open draai komt er ruis (wat logisch is).
dit is de enige reden waarom ik hem 4 sterren geef. voor de rest een topproduct.
Ik raad hem zeker aan
Vanaf dag 1 is het wel een probleem kindje geweest, en helaas die nu ook ter reparatie naar bax terug gestuurd.
De USB-B aansluiting aan de achterzijden is defect, waardoor het geluid heek hard kraakt.
Wat ik ook erg vervelend vindt, en dit is helaas geen defect maar gewoon het apparaat zelf, wanneer je het volume aanpast met de grote knop kraakt het geluid aan een kant heel erg.
Wil je het volume laag zetten, dan verlies je het geluid aan een kant en moet je met de volume knop spelen om weer aan beiden monitors input te krijgen.
Ook heeft deze geen power control ingebouwd, dus als je de big knob aan of uit drukt achterop, geven je monitors een harde knal.
Enige oplossing daarvoor is dus een aparte stroomregelaar ertussen te zetten die eerst de monitors uitschakelt en vervolgens de big knob.
En bij inschakelen zelfde verhaal maar dan omgedraaid.
De Big knob is vrij prijzig, maar door al deze problemen bij elkaar opgeteld, is het zelfs te duur.
Ik persoonlijk raad de Big know dus niet aan, kijk eerder naar een Scarlett.
Maar voor de rest heb ik geen spijt van de aanschaf. Tip voor Mackie: Maak hem aub weer knalvrij!
