It’s not even necessary to hear what you’re doing to set 
optimal levels. But if you’d like to: Plug headphones into 
the phones output jack, then turn up the phones knob 
just a little.

1.  Turn on the mixer by pressing the top edge of 

the power switch.

2.  For one channel, press the solo switch in, and 

the rude solo light will turn on.

3.  Play something into that input at real-world 

levels.

4.  Adjust that channel's gain control until the 

right main meter stays around the 0 dB LED 
(marked "level set").

5.  Disengage the channel's solo switch.

6.  Repeat steps 2 to 5 for the remaining channels.

7.  Turn up a channel fader to the "U" mark.

8.  Slowly turn up the main mix fader until you 

hear the signals in your speakers or  
headphones.

9.   If needed, apply some channel EQ wisely.

10.  Adjust the channel levels to get the best mix. 

Keep the gain controls and faders fully down on 
unused channels.

11.  During the performance, if you notice a channel 

OL LED turning on during peaks, carefully turn 
down that channel's gain control until OL does 
not turn on.

Thank you for choosing a lovely Mackie Onyx 1220i 

professional compact mixer. It has built-in FireWire, 
our premium precision-engineered studio-grade Onyx 
mic preamps, along with the newest features and latest 
technologies for live sound reinforcement and analog 
or digital studio recording, all in a durable, road-worthy 
package.

We realize that you must be really keen 
to try out your new mixer. Please read 
the safety instructions on page 2 and this 
page, and then have a look through some 

of the features and details in this quick start guide. A 
full manual is available on www.mackie.com.

Use the mixer in a nice clean and dry environment, 

free from dryer lint and dust bunnies.

1.  Fully turn down all the knobs to minimum, 

except for the channel EQ and pan controls, 
which should be centered.

2.  Make sure all buttons are in the out position.

1.  Make sure the AC power switch is off before 

making any connections.

2.  Push the linecord securely into the IEC  

connector on the rear panel, and plug it into a 
 3-prong AC outlet. The mixer can accept any  
AC voltage ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC.

3.  Plug a balanced microphone into one of the mic 

XLR (3-pin) connectors. Or connect any line-
level signal (keyboard, or guitar preamp) to a 
line input jack using a TS or TRS 1/4" plug.

4.  If your microphone requires phantom power, 

press in the 48V phantom power button.

5.  You can connect a guitar directly to line inputs 

1 or 2 without the need for a DI box. Press a 
hi-z switch if you connect a guitar directly.

6.  The insert jacks of channels 1 to 4 can be used 

to connect an external effects or dynamics 
processor into the channel signal chain.

7.  Connect the main outputs of the mixer (either 

XLR or TRS 1/4") to the line-level inputs of your 
amplifi er (with speakers already attached) or 
to the line-level inputs of powered speakers.
