Mackie introduced additions to its ProFXv3 series, expanding the lineup with three new “plus” models. Mackie’s ProFX series “set the standard for low noise and high performance in a portable, compact package and ProFXv3 has defined that legacy even further, delivering stellar sound and intuitive workflow while adding features that deliver professional mixing tools for life and studio.”
ProFX6v3+, ProFX10v3+ and ProFX12v3+ bring a host of new features, including switchable USB recording modes, bidirectional Bluetooth audio and a beefed up new GigFX+ effects engine with 12 upgraded, customizable effects, including Mackie’s EQ and one-button compression. The full-color LCD screen lets you see, edit, save and instantly recall your preset parameters on the fly.
Capture a stream or performance at 24-bit / 192 kHz quality with the built-in 2×4 USB-C audio interface. Choose from three recording modes: Standard mode captures a full mix, including GigFX+ effects and EQ. Interface mode sends a clean mix with no effects or EQ, allowing users to continue to mix in their DAW software. Loopback mode lets users mix computer audio into a recording — ideal for video game streaming or playing music over backing tracks, according to Mackie.
There’s a range of inputs to connect sources, including mic inputs featuring Mackie’s Onyx mic preamps (delivering up to 60 dB of gain with ultra-low noise). Inputs also include 48V phantom power, 100 Hz low-cut filters and Hi-Z switches to connect instruments, as well as stereo 1/8-inch aux inputs. Monitor via headphone output, using the blend knob to mix between the direct signal and a DAW output for latency-free monitoring.
Waveform OEM recording software is included. Also, the new ProFXv3+ series gives users Mackie’s “Built-Like-A-Tank construction,” housed in a solid steel chassis with ABS side protection.
