Mackie ProFX12v3+: Analog Sound Meets Modern Connectivity

The Mackie ProFX12v3+ is a 12-channel professional analog mixer with USB-C, Bluetooth, and an enhanced GigFX+ effects engine, built around seven award-winning Onyx mic preamps for creators who record, stream, and perform. It takes the trusted ProFX analog core and adds bi-directional Bluetooth, editable effects on a full-color display, and three selectable USB recording modes, turning a live mixer into a full content-creation hub. For the streamer, podcaster, or performer who needs one board to do everything, it is the mixer that bridges classic analog tone and today's connected workflow.

Onyx Preamps and Analog Core

Seven award-winning Onyx mic preamps anchor the ProFX12v3+, each supplying up to 60 dB of clean, high-headroom gain for transparent capture of vocals, instruments, and amplifiers. Every channel features a 3-band EQ with hard-bypass, a 100 Hz low-cut filter, and 48V phantom power, while switchable Hi-Z inputs welcome a guitar or bass directly. Four one-knob compressors on channels 1 through 4 keep dynamic sources even with a single turn, so a vocal or bass locks into the mix without fuss.

GigFX+ Effects You Can Edit

The plus in ProFX12v3+ starts with GigFX+, a high-resolution effects engine you actually control from a full-color LCD screen. Where the standard engine offers fixed presets, GigFX+ lets you edit parameters on the fly and save up to 12 of your own presets for instant recall, so a signature reverb or delay is always one tap away. Adjust decay, time, and level in real time and audition changes live, giving stage and studio work a level of polish that used to require outboard processors.

Bi-Directional Bluetooth

A dedicated Bluetooth channel sends and receives audio wirelessly, so you can stream backing tracks or walk-in music from a phone and, just as importantly, send mix audio back out. Bi-directional operation makes call-in guests and remote interviews simple: a caller hears the program while their voice joins the mix, and a mix-minus setup prevents echo. For podcasters and streamers, it removes the cables and adapters that usually stand between a phone and the board.

Three USB-C Recording Modes

The ProFX12v3+ connects over USB-C with a 2x4, 24-bit/192 kHz interface and three selectable recording modes for different jobs. Standard mode records the full mix with effects; Loopback mode blends computer audio into the stream for backing tracks, guests, or gameplay; and Interface mode captures channels 1 and 2 clean and dry with no effects for later mixing. Latency-free direct monitoring keeps performers in time, and the bundled Waveform OEM DAW with DAW Essentials plugins completes the recording chain.

Built for the Road and the Desk

Like every ProFX mixer, the v3+ lives in a solid-steel chassis with tough ABS side protection, engineered to shrug off the knocks of load-in, load-out, and daily desktop use. Two aux sends feed monitors or outboard gear, two stereo subgroups add fader control over grouped sources, and a headphone output with its own level and blend keeps monitoring flexible. Whether it sits on a streaming desk or travels to a gig, it is built to keep working.

Who the ProFX12v3+ Is For

Stream a show with call-in guests, record a podcast, perform over backing tracks, or track a band at home, the ProFX12v3+ gives you the connectivity and effects to do it in one place. Content creators, podcasters, streamers, and gigging musicians choose it when they want Onyx analog sound plus Bluetooth, editable effects, and flexible USB recording. It is the ProFX that keeps the classic Mackie core intact while adding the modern tools a connected workflow demands.
