Mix8 8-Channel Compact Mixer+Backpack

This bundle pairs the Mackie Mix8 compact mixer with a Rockville RPAK Charcoal backpack, giving a mobile engineer a way to carry the mixer, cables, and a laptop in one bag. The Mix8 packs two high-headroom, low-noise mic/line inputs, a 3-band EQ, 48V phantom power, and an aux send with stereo returns into a durable metal chassis that measures 2.1 by 7.8 by 9.6 inches and weighs 2.5 lb, with stereo line inputs, RCA playback and recording connections, and main L/R outputs for a small PA. The RPAK Charcoal backpack then carries that mixer alongside a laptop, with a padded, Velcro-secured laptop pocket that fits up to a 15 inch machine inside the main compartment. That main compartment expands to 21.75 inches tall when unzipped for larger loads or folds to 18 inches for a slimmer profile, and a hidden side zippered compartment keeps small items like the mixer separate from cables. Side pockets hold a water bottle or umbrella, and padded, adjustable straps keep the load comfortable across a full gig day. Durable nylon fabric stands up to the wear of regular travel between rehearsals, sessions, and shows.
