Mackie ProFX12V3

The Mackie ProFX12V3 is a nice medium sized mixer from the ProFXV3 series. With no less than 12 channels, 7 of which are also suitable for microphone signals, you have more than enough options on-stage or in the studio! Unlike its smaller siblings, this mixer is equipped with an aux send and two subgroups. This makes it easier to get your mix in balance and gives you the option to send signals to an external recorder, signal processor or monitor. The mixer is also equipped with 4 one-knob compressors to make your signals sound like a real studio recording with ease. However, the Mackie ProFX12V3 wouldn't live up to its name if it didn't have 24 more digital effects built in! Not convinced yet? Then keep on reading!

Onyx Preamps

Preamps matter. It distinguishes a good mixer from a bad one. That's why extra attention has been given to the preamps in this Mackie ProFXV3 series. These Onyx preamps deliver an ultra-low noise floor and a mindblowing 60 dB of gain! Even gain hungry microphones will therefore shine as they should, with plenty of headroom and a beautiful sound.

GigFX Built-in Effects

The name says it all; this mixer comes with effects, and not just one. Multiple reverbs, flanger, chorus, doubler, overdrive and delays, just to name a few. All 24 effects sound fantastic and breathe new life into your signals in realtime. In addition to these effects, you will also get one-knob compressors to even out your signals and easily reproduce the sound of a studio recording.

2X4 USB interface

At first glance this may seem like a PA/studio mixer only, but secretly it's also a USB interface with 2 inputs and 4 outputs! You can record and/or play back up to 192 kHz @24 bit from your PC or Apple computer or laptop. Besides, the A/D and D/A conversion of this external sound card is much better than that of the built-in sound card of your computer.

Direct Monitoring Functionality

For recording vocals or instruments, direct-monitor functionality is always good to have. This way you can mix seamlessly between the signal from your DAW and the direct input signal. This ensures that your vocalist or instrumentalist can monitor their performance without delay (zero-latency), which always benefits the recordings!

Waveform OEM Software

And if all these features weren't enough, Mackie also provides you with an acclaimed software package. Waveform OEM is an award-winning DAW that also includes 16 free plug-ins, including a reverb, compressor and equalizer.
