About Mackie MainStream

Make connections

Mackie MainStream is the easiest way to start a pro-quality live stream by integrating video, audio and stream control into a single, powerful device. Simply connect your mic, game feed and other sources straight into Mackie MainStream for a sleek, all-in-one solution that puts essential controls right at your fingertips.

HDMI in & passthrough

Mackie MainStream features an HDMI input with a video capture card (1080p x 60 fps) and pristine HDMI passthrough for your monitor (4K x 60 fps) so you can stream live and game at a high quality. It’s a shame what happened to the radio star, but it’s time to move on.
