At the Heart of the V1 Ecosystem, Designed to Evolve
Designed as the centerpiece of a modern studio setup, the V1-M adopts the proven "8 faders" format and expands on demand via the V1-X extenders. You start compact, then scale up to 64 channels depending on your DAW, without changing your workflow or ergonomics. Its metal chassis and high-speed USB-C connectivity ensure exemplary reliability in daily use.
For Demanding Producers, Mixers, and Creators
Whether you work in recording, mixing, post-production, or content creation, the V1-M offers precise tactile control that speeds up automation, level management, panning, and inserts. The ability to control 3 DAWs simultaneously is ideal for switching between composition, editing, and mixing without breaking the creative flow.
Key Features for a Professional Workflow
Motorized Faders and Precision Metering
The 8 track faders and master fader are motorized with 12-bit resolution, ensuring smooth and repeatable movements. Each channel features an OLED screen, a 12-segment LED meter, and a 1.14" individual display to keep an eye on levels, track names, and essential parameters without diverting your gaze from the session.
5-Layer Touchscreen, 120 Functions
The large color-coded touchscreen consolidates up to 5 layers of controls and totals 120 callable functions. You can map your recurring actions, adapt the surface to your workflow, and optimize every stage of the project.
Advanced Navigation and Transport
The high-resolution optical jog wheel smooths positioning, scrubbing, and editing. Illuminated ZOOM and MOVE buttons, assisted by two directional arrows, speed up region selection, contextual zoom, and timeline navigation. A 10-segment LED display shows the project's time position at a glance.
Universal Integration and Multi-DAW Switching
Compatibility with "Mackie Control Universal" and "HUI" protocols ensures immediate integration with popular DAWs. Three dedicated buttons allow instant recall of up to 3 DAWs running in parallel, without interrupting your session.
Construction and Connectivity
The V1-M features a robust metal chassis, two TRS jack inputs for footswitches, and fast USB-C connectivity. It comes with a 12 V/2.5 A power adapter and a USB cable for immediate setup.
