Mackie, a leader in professional audio designs, introduces the newest additions to their ProFXv3 series, expanding the lineup with three new “plus” models with creator-friendly technology and features.
“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 a host of features that deliver professional mixing tools for live and studio. The new ProFXv3+ models give you even more of what you need to create great sounding productions, from live sound and recording to live streaming,” according to the announcement.
ProFX6v3+, ProFX10v3+, and ProFX12v3+ bring a host of new features including switchable USB recording modes, bi-directional Bluetooth audio, and a beefed up new GigFX+ effects engine with twelve upgraded, customizable effects, including Mackie’s EQ and one-button compression. A full-color LCD screen enables users to see, edit, save, and instantly recall preset parameters on the fly.
Designed to capture a stream or performance at 24-bit / 192 kHz quality with the built-in 2x4 USB-C audio interface, users can choose from three recording modes: Standard mode captures full mix, including GigFX+ effects and EQ. Interface mode sends a clean mix with no effects or EQ, allowing users to continue a mix in DAW software. And Loopback mode enables users to mix computer audio into a recording – designed for video game streaming or playing music over backing tracks.
There’s a wide 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. Users will have 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 DAW output for latency-free monitoring.
With Bluetooth audio users can also bring in backing tracks wirelessly from a phone, or patch in a caller for a live presentation or podcast, with Mix Minus monitoring to prevent callers from hearing an echo.
Waveform OEM recording software is included. And the new ProFXv3+ series includes Mackie’s “Built-Like-A-Tank” construction, housed in a solid steel chassis with ultra-tough ABS side protection.
Availability beginning January 2024. For more information about the new ProFXv3+ series, visit https://mackie.com/en/products/mixers/profxv3-series.
