The Mackie ProFX12v3 12-Channel Mixer Kit with Bag Coveris a 12-channel mixing console featuring seven Onyx microphone preamps with 60 dB of headroom and a built-in effects engine with 24 built-in FX, making it well suited for live sound, home recording, and content creators. The integrated 2x4 USB audio interface offers high-quality 24-bit / 192 kHz recording and playback with zero-latency monitoring.

Channels 1-2 offer combo XLR-1/4" mic/line connections and a Hi-Z switch (for guitar and bass), while channels 3-4 offer XLR or 1/4" inputs. Channels 1-4 include inserts, and single-knob compression. Channels 5/6, 7/8, 9/10 offer two 1/4" inputs, while channel 11/12 uses a 3.5mm stereo input. Channels 1-10 feature gain controls, a 3-band EQ, an aux (monitor) send, a dedicated FX send, pan, mute, and level faders. Engaging channel 11/12's USB 3-4 switch will override the 3.5mm input and enable the USB return from a computer. 

Each channel strip includes button selectors for Main L/R, Sub 1/2, and Solo (PFL). The master section offers dedicated faders for Main, Sub, and FX. Main output connectors include both XLR and 1/4", while sub and control room outputs use 1/4" connector. A dedicated 1/4" TRS headphone output includes its own independent level control. Other features include an input / USB 1-2 blend control, a dedicated FX output, an FX level fader, and an FX mute, which can also be controlled via the 1/4" footswitch input.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What version of Bluetooth do these new plus mixers have?

A: Mackie has not specified the version of Bluetooth used by the Mackie ProFX12v3+ 12-Channel Analog Mixer.

Q: 2. Can this mixer connect 6 microphones? If so, how to connect in line 5/6 or line 7/8?

A: No, the Mackie ProFX10v3 10-Channel Sound Reinforcement Mixer with Built-In Effects has only four mic preamps so it is intended for use with up to four microphones. In order to use the line level input channels (5/6 and 7/8) for microphones, you could use a separate mic preamp like the Rolls MP13 Mini-Mic Preamp (B&H # ROMP13) and connect its 1/4" output to the 1/4" inputs on the mixer. You can either use a 1/4" TS to 1/4" TS cable like the Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series 1/4" Male to 1/4" Male Instrument Cable- 3' (B&H # KOI3003) to connect to the mono (left) input on the mixer for a mono signal or use a Y-cable like the Hosa Technology Stereo 1/4" Male to 2 Mono 1/4" Male Insert Y-Cable - 3.3' (B&H # HOYCSPM2PM3) to connect to both the left and right inputs 5/6 and/or 7/8 for a stereo signal. As a better option, if you do not already have the ProFX10v3, you may want to consider the Mackie ProFX12v3 12-Channel Sound Reinforcement Mixer with Built-In FX (B&H # MAPROFX12V3) which is the model up from the ProFX10v3. The ProFX12v3 has seven input channels that can be used to connect microphones.

Q: 3. Is it new or used

A: Thhe Mackie ProFX10v3 10-Channel Sound Reinforcement Mixer Kit with Carry Bag is a new item. All of the items on our website are new unless marked otherwise.

Q: 4. What's different between the v2/v3?

A: Hi, the newer v3 models come included with Pro Tools software, have more effects, 24-Bit / 192kHz USB recording. Thank you for shopping at B&H!

Q: 5. Do the mute buttons on the channel strips have indicator lights to show which channels are muted?

A: Yes, the mute buttons do have indicator lights that illuminate to show when a channel is muted.

Q: 6. what are the inside dimensions of this bag? thanks!

A: Mackie does not provide specific internal dimensions for the Mackie Bag for 802-VLZ3 Mixer, however we can make a good estimate based on the size of the mixer it is designed for. The Mackie 802-VLZ3 Compact Mixer measures 10.7 x 8.9 x 1.8", and the interior dimensions of this bag should only be slightly larger.

Q: 7. Dear B&H: You need to do more of an explanation of what this is! Does it have semi-hard sides, as does the mixer bag for the DL1608, or is it just a canvas bag? Also, for Pete's sake, B&H sells cameras, and you have the bag in stock. Take a picture of it! I'm ready to purchase the mixer, but need to have a means to carry it around. I don't want to put it in a rack.

A: This bag is a soft case, with no hard sides, that can be used to protect the mixer from moisture and dust and is suitable for transport and storage. We do currently include photos of the product here.

Q: 8. Would Pro Tools be still working? Mackinac and Avid discontinued the partnership.

A: Yes, the Mackie ProFX16v3 is compatible with Pro Tools.

Q: 9. Is it possible to assign different effects to different channels, or can you only choose one for all?

A: It is not possible to assign different effects to different channels. The effects processing works globally so it affects all of the channels, but you are able to select which individual channels you want to use the effects on.

Q: 10. How many rack spaces does it take?

A: The Mackie Onyx12 Mixer requires 8 rack spaces.
