This is a Mackie Onyx Blackjack 2 input, 2 output USB audio interface. I purchased it new in late September and it has been in my smoke-free apartment ever since. It is in mint condition. I am extremely happy with this interface (I had returned a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and went with the Blackjack instead) and it's perfect for my needs, but I am in a bit of a financial bind until some money owed to me is paid. In fact, as soon as I'm in a better financial situation, I plan to purchase another one!

This interface is bus-powered (requires no power adapter) and highly portable. It has Mackie Onyx class preamps (the same as in the Onyx mixers) which are regarded very highly, and Cirrus Logic converters. It has 2 combo jack inputs (XLR/TRS) each with a switch to toggle between line and hi-Z instrument impedance (mic impedance is selected automatically when an XLR cable is used), 2 TRS outputs, 1 TRS headphone output (with headphone amp and separate volume control), direct monitoring (with independent volume control) with stereo/mono switch, and phantom power. It is compatible with Windows 7, Vista, and XP, and Mac OS X. Some early reviews of this unit indicated that drivers weren't reliable, but newer versions have long since been rock-steady and I've never encountered a single problem. I do not have the original manual (just the quick start guide) or driver disc, but these can both be downloaded for free from Mackie's website.
