Mackie MainStream is a live streaming interface combining video, audio and tactile control through its HDMI video capture card, audio interface and USB-C input hub in a single bus-powered device.

Mackie MainStream features an HDMI input with full HD capture (1080p x 60fps) and HDMI passthrough (4K x 60fps) for the monitor, so gamers can livestream at high quality without interfering with their gaming experience. The built-in USB-C input hub accepts up to two additional USB devices like webcams, USB microphones and peripherals, letting streamers connect all their devices to a single USB port on a computer.

In addition to the XLR mic input (+60dB), MainStream includes a chat headset input, smartphone input for live streaming phone calls, a headphone output and stereo line outputs for external speakers.

MainStream gives streamers tactile control over the input levels, including HDMI, PC return, mic and smartphone input, plus headphone outputs and stereo line outputs without menu diving. A row of programmable keys allows triggering of samples and control of transitions among other functions.

MainStream works out of the box with no additional software required. However, streamers who want greater control can use the all-new Mackie Matrix software, a routing tool and digital mixer that will route up to four hardware devices (like MainStream) and six virtual channels (like Discord or Spotify), control a mix, add effects and create and trigger samples with 24 virtual pads.

Mackie MainStream will ship via the Mackie website and at selected retailers at US$299.99 (MAP) from Q1 2024.
