MainStream

The Mackie MainStream is the simplest way to start a live broadcast in professional quality - combining video control, audio, and streaming into one powerful device, allowing you to focus on connecting with your audience. This all-in-one solution simplifies setting up your desktop by integrating your gaming channel with a microphone/headset, cameras, and other sources, enabling you to control your live broadcast from one compact device.

The Mackie MainStream features an HDMI input with a video capture card (1080p x 60 fps) and an HDMI THRU output for your monitor (4K x 60 fps), allowing you to stream live content and games in high quality. Simply connect your Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, etc. to the HDMI input and connect the HDMI THRU output to your TV, and you can stream affordably and with quality using your laptop and headset.

With two USB-C inputs, you can connect additional cameras, USB microphones, flash drives, and any other USB devices you want to connect to your live broadcast computer. By connecting to the computer via a single USB-C cable, you can carry out live broadcasts using a digital camera connected via HDMI, while also using a USB webcam for an extra angle, high-quality headphones, and an XLR microphone for broadcasting.

The flexibility of the Mackie MainStream makes it the perfect interface for any type of stream. The "Just Chatting" setup utilizes a digital camera, USB microphone, and smartphone for chatting with a guest on the phone (Mix Minus ensures that the caller does not hear echo). When streaming live, the last thing you want is to be navigating through menus on your computer. MainStream provides tactile control over levels and also offers a range of programmable buttons for triggering samples and transitions.

MainStream allows for maximum creativity. With 6 programmable buttons, you can trigger fun samples and impactful transitions. Or you can experiment with adding another camera angle or streaming via a gaming console through HDMI. An extremely powerful free software called Matrix is available, allowing you to add up to 6 virtual inputs (like Discord or Spotify) and 4 hardware inputs and route them all into the live broadcast. Add vocal effects, fine-tune your mix, and create and trigger samples using 24 virtual Pad buttons. The Matrix software can even be used with devices other than MainStream.

And it wouldn't be Mackie without high-quality analog sound. In addition to the main microphone input (+60 dB), MainStream includes an input for chat headsets, a smartphone input for live phone call broadcasting, a headphone output, and stereo line outputs, ideal for connecting active speakers.
