Mackie Showbox, Mobile PA with a Breakaway Mixer | I DJ NOW

This is the ShowBox from Mackie! 

A battery-powered all-in-one live performance rig. If you’re a singer/songwriter who performs regularly, does your own sound, and is constantly on the move, you know how important it is to have a flexible sound system that’s easy to transport. “There’s other battery-powered speakers on the market, what makes this one better?” Well, I’m glad you asked!

The Mackie ShowBox is a battery-powered all-in-one live performance solution that combines a 400w amplifier, portable PA speaker, 6-channel mixer, FX unit, AND audio interface into one super-portable package with up to 12 hours of playtime.

The available I/O and 4 voicing modes make it great for both solo artists and small ensembles. You’ve got 2 XLR mic inputs, 2 ¼” instrument inputs, a stereo ¼” line input, and even an External FX Loop send and return, in addition to a Feedback Eliminator, an Aux Input, ¼” Headphone output, XLR Mix Output, Bluetooth connectivity, 2 FX engines with User Snapshots. And there is even a built-in looper and tuner that you can control on board or with an optional footswitch.

If you’re someone who makes content out of their performances for social media, you’ll be happy to know that the Mackie ShowBox allows you to record and even stream your performances via SD Card or USB interface, and offers Passthrough USB charging for mobile devices.

But the best thing about the Mackie ShowBox is this…the Breakaway Mix Control. This ensures that you always have control right at your fingertips. Simply mount the unit on a microphone stand and you have direct control of all 6 input channels and the 2 FX engines without having to fumble around and feel for the controls on the back of the speaker. And since the speaker can be pole mounted, or used in tabletop or monitor positions, you’ve got yourself an extremely flexible setup that can adapt to most any performing situation.

Mackie also offers an optional gig bag, making it easy to get to your next gig in a flash.

If you’re a guitar player, keyboardist, vocalist, or even a DJ, and you’re out there performing regularly, the Mackie ShowBox is going to make things MUCH easier, giving you complete control of your mix at all times, and it’s available right here at I DJ NOW.
