Mackie Big Knob Passive – 2×2 passive studio monitor controller.
Take control of your workspace with the Mackie Big Knob Passive monitor controller.

This ensures absolute sonic transparency when switching between two audio sources and two pairs of monitors. Its sturdy "Built-Like-A-Tank" metal chassis and large, precise volume knob make it the perfect solution for both professional studios and home production setups.
Included with the hardware is a powerful software package: the award-winning Waveform OEM™ DAW (with unlimited track count) and the DAW Essentials Collection™ featuring 16 contemporary FX plugins (including Equalizer, Compressor, Reverber8, Delay Studio), compatible with macOS®, Windows®, and Linux® systems.
