Mackie ShowBox All-in-One Battery-Powered 400W 8" Live Performance Rig with Breakaway Mix Control

$ 649.99


Entertain a crowd anywhere with the Mackie ShowBox, a battery-powered, all-in-one performance rig that combines an amplifier, portable 2-way PA speaker, FX processor, and audio interface with a breakaway controller that mounts to your mic stand. The ShowBox was made for solo performers or small bands, replacing instrument amps and PA speakers and adding effects you can tweak from your mic stand with the breakaway controller. It includes inputs for mics, guitars, keyboards, and more. The 400W amplifier drives the 8" woofer and 1" high-frequency driver which combine for a 48 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and a 122 dB SPL.

The ShowBox breakaway mix controller gives you real-time control of your sound, including levels, effects and tone shaping, snapshots, built-in looper, tuner, and SD recording. The controller mounts to your stand with included hardware, and slides into the speaker for storage. Take your performance online with a USB-C interface for streaming and recording, while playing over backing tracks via Bluetooth. The internal battery provides up to 12 hours of use. The ShowBox includes a mix controller mic clip, a 16' CAT6 cable for connecting the mix controller, and a standard IEC power cord.
