Model: ProFX12
12-Channel Professional Effects Mixer with
USB
The ProFX12 is
the perfect choice for smaller performing acts, solo performers or
for small venues that don’t have the budget or space for a
ton of outboard gear. The ProFX12 has everything needed to make
your gig sound great and is really easy to operate. Plus, USB I/O
lets you record the show or stream music straight from a laptop.
The “Pro” in ProFX stands for Pro. Professional tools,
rugged build quality, small footprint…everything you
need.
The ProFX12 is loaded with six Mackie high-headroom, low-noise mic
preamps, 3-band EQ, a built-in DI for direct connection of a guitar
or bass, integrated “Gig-Ready” effects, precision
7-band GEQ and more. The ProFX12 has all the right tools, each and
every one designed to sound great. Plus, everything is housed in an
ultra-tough enclosure with additional impact-resistant sidecheeks,
protecting your investment from the rigors of the
road.

Live Sound Toolbox
Smaller performing acts typically play in places that may not have
an engineer on hand. In fact, someone from the band might have
double-duty as “The Sound Guy” for the group. If you
are reading this, chances are that’s you. Let us pander to
your obviously higher intellect… you are a professional and
you need the tools to get the job done perfectly each and every
show. High-headroom mic preamps with great-sounding effects,
channel EQ, a built-in DI, plus precision GEQ to tune-up the room
or monitor mix. Sounds good, right? The ProFX12 comes with all
these features—it is truly the perfect live sound
toolbox.
“Gig-Ready” RMFX™
Effects
The all-new RMFX™ (Running Man FX) 32-bit effects processor
brings “Gig Ready,” useable effects to your mixes. Why
scroll through hundreds of bizarre effects, like “ghost
ambience?” Yeah, like anyone even knows what that means. Or
how about winners like “delay+phaser2”, which
you’ll never use in a million years. Those other mixers will
leave your fingers raw from all the scrolling you have to do. The
RMFX™ processor features 16 solid FX that are known for their
utility and usability. Small, medium and large room reverbs with a
mix of warm and bright characteristics puts your mix in the right
space. Simple, rich choruses and an array of practical delays
enable you to create professional mixes without requiring a
two-hour sound check. Basically, we’ve delivered the choicest
parts of a full rack of gear, right at your fingertips, that is
easy to master, allowing you to look and sound really good at your
next gig. Really, really good.
Record and Stream via
USB
With all the right tools for the job, the ProFX12 allows you to
create memorable mixes, but even with all those features,
portability is paramount and you can’t be burdened with
lugging around additional equipment. No worries, integrated USB I/O
takes the pain out of recording. Just connect the ProFX12 to a
laptop, start up your included copy of Tracktion 3 Music Production
Software (or almost any DAW software out there) and you can record
the whole mix. You can even stream music from your laptop during
breaks. Once you get home, record more tracks or use the ProFX12 to
playback some tunes during your next party. Unless you’re
anti-social, don’t have the right kind of place for a party
or are just sick of buying food and beverages for everyone. In that
case, you can play back whatever talk-radio show you listen to when
alone.
Not only that, the innovative “USB Thru” switch allows
for an impressive live/recording setup when using performance
software like Ableton Live or Reason. When gigging, stream the
output of your performance software (or iTunes, for that matter)
into the ProFX12. Combine that signal with anything plugged into
the mixer, and send the whole thing back to the computer for
recording. Archiving your integrated live performances has never
been easier!
Legendary
Mackie Durability Mackie is
known for building mixers that are “Built-Like-A-Tank”
and the ProFX8 is no exception. All of its tender bits are securely
encased in a solid steel chassis. No only that, the
impact-resistant side pieces are made of ultra-tough ABS, adding
extra protection where it is most likely to fall…not that you
drop things.
PA
Made Painless
Simple is better. A utility mixer
like the ProFX8 is an integral part of a ludicrously simple Mackie
PA system that sounds great. The only choice is whether to go
“active” or “passive” with your loudspeaker
setup.
Active— Just add Mackie SR, SA, SRM Series Active
Loudspeakers or SWA Series Active Subwoofers
Passive — Add a Mackie FR or FRS Series Stereo Power
Amplifier and S200 or C Series Precision Passive Loudspeakers
The legendary quality of Mackie loudspeakers combined with the
utility of the ProFX8 is a lethal combination that will suit just
about any size venue. Just add enough speakers, and you’re
golden.
Budget Friendly
The ProFX Series Compact Effects Mixers strike the perfect balance.
They offer all the right tools to get the job done well, sport the
popular compact footprint that Mackie is known for and are also the
most budget-friendly of all the Mackie sound reinforcement mixers.
Our competition either doesn’t have the expansive feature set
of the ProFX Series, or they simply will not survive the test of
time. You are investing in your mixer and the ProFX will be there
for you at every gig, ready to roll.
