MACKIE MIX12FX - Compact 12-channel mixer with effects

The Mackie Mix12FX is a twelve-channel analog mixer designed to deliver professional-grade audio quality in a compact and rugged form factor. Equipped with four high-gain, low-noise microphone preamps, three-band EQ per channel, and a high-pass filter on the microphone inputs, it allows for precise sound sculpting. It also features twelve onboard effects (reverbs, delays, and chorus) selectable from a single control, making it easy to enhance any signal without external equipment.

The four stereo line inputs operate at +4/–10 dB with balance and level controls, ideal for connecting keyboards, recorders, or DJ equipment. It features main L/R outputs with 60 mm faders, a headphone output, and a control room output with independent volumes. The inclusion of dedicated RCA inputs and outputs for recording and playback, an effects send and return, and phantom power on all four microphone channels completes this versatile package for live, studio, and broadcast.
