Mackie ProFX12v3+ 12-Channel Analogue Mixer With USB-C, Bluetooth & GigFX+

The Mackie ProFX12v3+ Analogue Mixer is a compact 10-channel mixer that features enhanced FX and a USB interface. 

The Mackie ProFX12v3+ is a 12-channel professional analogue mixer and 2x4 USB-C audio interface, combining the warmth and tactile control of analogue signal routing with a comprehensive suite of modern digital features. Designed for musicians, sound engineers, podcasters, content creators, and live event professionals, it offers a flexible and capable central hub for both studio and live applications. Seven Onyx microphone preamps with up to 60 dB of gain provide clean, transparent headroom on every mic input, whilst 3-band EQ on all channels and one-knob compression on channels 1–4 give you precise and responsive control over your mix without requiring a deep technical background.

Beyond its analogue credentials, the ProFX12v3+ integrates seamlessly into modern digital workflows. The built-in 2x4 USB-C interface records at up to 24-bit/192 kHz and offers three dedicated recording modes: Standard for a full mix with effects, Interface for recording channels 1–2 clean and dry, and Loopback for including computer audio in your stream without feedback. Bi-directional Bluetooth connectivity adds a dedicated channel for bringing in phone calls or streaming backing tracks from a mobile device. The upgraded GigFX+ effects engine delivers 12 editable presets viewable on a full-colour LCD display, and the package includes Waveform OEM recording software and the DAW Essentials Collection of 16 plug-ins. Suited to home studios, live venues, houses of worship, schools, conference rooms, and broadcast environments, the ProFX12v3+ is a genuinely do-it-all mixer at a professional standard.

Onyx Preamps And Channel Processing

The foundation of the ProFX12v3+'s audio quality lies in its seven Onyx microphone preamps. Delivering up to 60 dB of gain with exceptionally low noise, these preamps are descended from Mackie's professional studio console lineage and offer a clean, transparent input stage that flatters vocals, instruments, and spoken word alike. All mic channels benefit from 48V phantom power for condenser microphones, a 100 Hz low-cut filter to reduce unwanted low-frequency rumble, and Hi-Z switches on relevant channels for direct instrument connection without the need for a separate DI box. Channels 1–4 each feature one-knob analogue compression, allowing you to dial in dynamic control quickly and musically without the complexity of a fully parametric compressor.

GigFX+ Effects Engine And LCD Display

The ProFX12v3+ moves beyond the standard GigFX engine found in the non-plus ProFXv3 models, introducing the GigFX+ system with 12 editable and saveable presets. These high-resolution digital effects — covering reverbs, delays, and modulation — are controlled via a full-colour LCD display, giving you a clear, at-a-glance view of your selected preset and its parameters. The ability to edit and save presets directly on the mixer means your custom sounds travel with the unit, making it ideal for repeated live setups where consistency matters.

USB-C Interface And Recording Modes

The built-in 2x4 USB-C audio interface captures audio at up to 24-bit/192 kHz, and three distinct recording modes make it flexible enough for a wide range of use cases. Standard mode sends the full mixer output — including effects — to your computer for recording or streaming. Interface mode records channels 1 and 2 without any effects processing, ideal for capturing a clean source for post-production. Loopback mode brings computer audio back into the mix, enabling streamers and content creators to layer game audio, music, or backing tracks with live mic input without the risk of feedback loops. The headphone output offers independent level and blend control, allowing you to monitor your computer output and the live mixer feed simultaneously.

Bluetooth Connectivity And Software Bundle

The dedicated bi-directional Bluetooth channel on the ProFX12v3+ allows you to send and receive audio from smartphones and tablets wirelessly. For podcasters, this means effortless guest call integration; for musicians and performers, it provides a convenient way to stream backing tracks or reference mixes from a phone without additional cables. The mixer also ships with Waveform OEM, a fully featured DAW with unlimited track count and no restrictions typically associated with lite versions, as well as the DAW Essentials Collection — a suite of 16 contemporary effects plug-ins including EQ, compressor, reverb, delay, chorus, and more.

Build And Design

The ProFX12v3+ is built in the Mackie tradition of robust, road-ready construction. The chassis is solid steel throughout, with tough ABS side protection to guard against knocks and drops. A 3-pin IEC power connector means it runs from a standard mains lead (100–240V universal), keeping travel and installation straightforward. Optional accessories including a carry bag, dust cover, and rack ear kit are available separately, making the ProFX12v3+ adaptable for both portable gigging and permanent installation environments.
