All the original products that gave Mackie its start have been superceded by
competitors, and most other products fall under the SSDP heading (same ****,
different pile), except that Mackie products cost more. Mackie's most
outstanding feature is marketing. In every other way they've lost their
teeth.

In general, if a Mackie product catches your eye, your next step is to find
out who makes a better alternative for less.


IMO, for the case of my Onyx 1620 and SRM-350's the above would not apply.
