Mackie ProFX30v3 30-Channel Analog Mixer with USB - Secondhand

Full Description

Superior preamp performance

The Mackie ProFX30v3 shines with its 25 Onyx mic preamps, which are renowned for their transparency and dynamic range. Each preamp delivers up to 60dB of clean gain, making it suitable for a wide range of microphones and ensuring that your recordings are captured with clarity and detail. This vast number of channels makes it ideal for large recording sessions or complex live sound setups, providing ample inputs for bands, orchestras, or multiple performers.

Enhanced sound shaping and effects

Equipped with a GigFX high-resolution effects engine, the ProFX30v3 enhances your mixes with 24 built-in effects, including reverbs, delays, and modulation effects. This feature allows sound engineers and musicians to add depth and texture to live performances or studio tracks. Each channel also includes a 3-band EQ with a sweepable mid, which offers precise control over tonal adjustments, enabling you to fine-tune your sound to perfection.

Professional recording and flexibility

The mixer's 2x4 USB recording interface facilitates high-quality audio capture at sample rates up to 192 kHz, ideal for professional recordings that require the highest audio fidelity. Dual stereo USB returns add flexibility in routing audio from the computer back to the mixer, allowing for easy integration with live performance setups or complex studio sessions.

Comprehensive connectivity and control

Latency-free direct monitoring is a critical feature for any recording application, eliminating delays between playing a note or singing a line and hearing it back through headphones. The ProFX30v3 provides a dedicated control to blend between direct inputs and DAW playback, ensuring a responsive and engaging recording experience. Additional features like built-in compression, 100Hz low-cut filters, and 48V phantom power on all channels, along with flexible routing options through aux sends and subgroup outputs, underscore the mixer's adaptability to any audio environment.

Robust software integration

Included with the ProFX30v3 is Waveform OEM, a comprehensive DAW that offers powerful recording, mixing, and editing capabilities without limitations on track count or plugin compatibility. The DAW Essentials Collection, featuring 16 high-quality effects plug-ins, extends this functionality, providing tools necessary for professional-grade audio processing and enhancement.

Versatile and robust

Beyond its technical capabilities, the ProFX22v3 is designed for durability and ease of use. It features practical layout and robust construction, capable of withstanding the rigors of live performance and studio work. Its compact size makes it ideal for desktop setups, ensuring it doesn't occupy too much space but still stands up to the demands of daily use. And with dust covers and protective bags (covers and bags not included, can be purchased separately) available for your mixer (dust cover not available for ProFX6v3, and carry bag not available for ProFX30v3), you can store and transport your mixer with peace of mind.
