Mackie
Mackie (Mackie Designs, later LOUD Technologies) was founded in 1988 in Woodinville, Washington (USA), by Greg Mackie. The brand built its name on affordable, rugged compact mixers, then moved into digital with the Digital 8 Bus (d8b) in the late 1990s. The Digital X Bus was its ambitious follow-up.
