MACKIE PROFX30V3 – 30-Channel Professional Mixer

The Mackie ProFX30v3 is an analog mixer with a built-in USB interface, designed to deliver high-end studio and live performance. Its 25 low-noise Onyx mic preamps deliver exceptional clarity with ample headroom (up to 60 dB of gain). Its 22 mono channels feature single-control compression, a 100 Hz high-pass filter, three-band EQ with hard bypass, and a variable mid-frequency control. It also features Hi-Z channels for direct connection of guitar or bass, 48 ​​V phantom power, and inserts on the first 22 channels for connecting external processors.

The GigFX™ system includes a 24-effects processor with high-quality effects (reverbs, delays, chorus, flange, auto-wah, etc.), selectable via a central potentiometer or footswitch. For monitoring and recording, it features dedicated Aux/Monitor outputs , two stereo subgroups , a independently controllable headphone output, and a control room output. Its 2-in/4-out USB interface records and plays back in 24-bit/192 kHz with zero latency, with direct monitoring for overdub sessions. 60mm faders ensure precise and fluid operation.
