Mackie ProFX6v3+: Where Live Sound Meets Live Stream

The Mackie ProFX6v3+ is a 6-channel analog mixer and 24-bit/192 kHz USB-C audio interface built around two award-winning Onyx mic preamps, an enhanced GigFX+ effects engine with a full-color LCD, bi-directional Bluetooth, and three onboard recording modes, all wrapped in a solid steel, built-like-a-tank chassis. It brings the warmth of an analog console together with precise digital tools in a footprint small enough for a desktop. For the musician, podcaster, or streamer who refuses to choose between great live sound and a great recording, it is the mixer that finally does both at once.

Two Onyx Preamps That Set the Standard

Every recording and every mix begins at the preamp, and the ProFX6v3+ leads with two of Mackie's award-winning Onyx mic preamps, each delivering up to 60 dB of gain with ultra-low noise. That headroom lets a quiet ribbon or a hot dynamic mic arrive clean, transparent, and full-bodied, so a tracked vocal, a streamed voice, or a miked amp keeps its detail. A switchable 100 Hz low-cut filter and 48V phantom power on every mic channel mean you can rein in stage rumble and run a studio condenser without any outboard gear.

GigFX+ Effects You Can Edit and Save

The upgraded GigFX+ engine puts high-resolution reverbs, delays, and modulation at your fingertips, with 12 presets you can edit and store on the fly using the full-color LCD screen. Instead of guessing at a hidden parameter, you see and shape each effect in real time - dialing a vocal plate for a live set, then recalling a tighter room for a podcast. Combining an analog recording console with programmable digital effects, it earns its place in a home studio and on a small stage in equal measure.

A 2x4 USB-C Interface With Three Ways to Record

Built into the ProFX6v3+ is a 24-bit/192 kHz 2x4 USB-C audio interface with three purpose-built modes. Standard captures the full mix with effects for a finished stereo recording; Loopback folds your computer's audio in with the mixer signal, which is exactly what a streamer needs to blend game or call audio with a live mic; and Interface records channels 1 and 2 dry, without effects, so you keep clean tracks to process later in a DAW. One USB-C cable carries pristine audio in and out of a Mac, Windows, or Linux machine.

Bluetooth, EQ, and Compression for a Finished Sound

A dedicated bi-directional Bluetooth channel sends and receives audio from a phone or tablet, so a podcaster can drop in a caller and a performer can stream backing tracks with no cables at all. Channels 1 and 2 add a musical 2-band EQ and one-button compression to even out a dynamic vocal or tame a spiky acoustic, while Hi-Z switches let you plug a guitar or bass straight in. A headphone output with its own level and monitor-blend control lets you ride a latency-free feed from the mixer against your computer playback.

Built Like a Tank, Loaded With Software

Mackie's built-like-a-tank heritage shows in the ProFX6v3+'s solid steel chassis and tough ABS side protection, so it survives the gig bag, the rehearsal room, and the road. In the box, the included Waveform OEM DAW gives you an unrestricted, full-featured recording environment, and the 16-plug-in DAW Essentials Collection adds contemporary EQ, compression, delay, reverb, and modulation effects for any session. It is a complete front end for capturing, mixing, and releasing your sound.

Who the ProFX6v3+ Is For

Solo performers and small bands running a couple of mics and instruments, podcasters who want Bluetooth callers and loopback streaming in one desktop box, streamers blending voice with computer audio, and home-studio musicians tracking to a DAW all reach for the ProFX6v3+. Compact enough to travel and serious enough to record with, it is the analog mixer that keeps up whether you are on a stage or on a stream.
