The Mackie ProFX16v3 can really do. Each channel starts with Mackie’s Onyx preamp. Then you can use the 100Hz low cut control to keep your sound clean. Next, you can dial up to 60dB of gain before sending it through onboard compression and 3-band EQ. Every channel is equipped with FX level controls and a mute button. What’s more, every mic input is equipped with 48V phantom power. To make sure that you sound perfect, the Mackie ProFX16v3 has an onboard effects processor. The effects processor has a blend function, FX level control, and a quick mute switch. The GigFX effects engine offers up 24 different effects ranging from delays, reverbs, choruses, distortion, and even an auto-wah feature. All of these effects are accessed by a simple twist of the Presets knob. Mackie mixers have been a mainstay for studio and live sound for many reasons. Chief among these reasons is durability and build quality. You’ll find these mixers in venues across the country covered in years of dust and grime. But when you power them up, they deliver top-notch sound and reliability. If you’ve never owned a Mackie before, you’ll be surprised by its sturdy construction. Seriously, your Mackie Mixer will stand up to whatever punishment you give it without batting an eye.
