ShowBox [Open Box]

The Mackie ShowBox is a battery-powered, all-in-one live performance rig that combines a portable PA, an acoustic guitar amp, a 6-channel mixer, an effects rack, and a USB-C interface in a single device. A breakaway mix controller mounts to a mic stand and puts levels, effects, tone shaping, snapshots, a looper, and a tuner within reach while you perform, then slides back into the ShowBox for storage. Six effects engines cover fuzz, overdrive, tube modeling, and acoustic amp voicing on the four mic and instrument channels, plus two additional time-based engines for delay and reverb.

With a 400W amp, custom drivers, and an included battery, ShowBox delivers up to 12 hours of live sound from 6 input channels, enough for a solo singer-songwriter or a small band. Switchable PA and amp voicing modes, an FX loop for pedals, and indoor/outdoor settings let it stand in for a full PA system without a separate amp. Recording is built in too: capture to an SD card, stream over USB-C, or use Bluetooth for backing tracks between sets. For solo artists and small acts, ShowBox replaces the trunk full of separate boxes with one rig that handles the sound and the setup.
