About the Mackie MCK-2051304-00 ProFX30v3 30 Channel 4-bus Professional Effects Mixer with USB
The Mackie ProFX30v3 is a professional 30-channel effects mixer that combines a robust analog signal path with integrated digital effects and USB connectivity for live sound, recording, and streaming applications. It features 16 Mackie Vita preamps on the mono input channels, designed to deliver high headroom and low noise for a wide range of microphones. The mixer's intuitive 4-bus architecture provides flexible routing for subgroups and auxiliary sends, while the inclusion of a dedicated 24-bit multi-FX processor with 16 editable presets offers reverb, delay, and modulation effects without the need for external units. Built into a durable steel-reinforced chassis, the ProFX30v3 is engineered for reliability on stage and in the studio, offering a comprehensive mixing solution for bands, houses of worship, and multimedia producers.
The channel strip configuration is designed for versatility and speed, with 16 mono mic/line channels, 4 stereo line channels, and dedicated stereo USB/2-track returns. Each mono channel includes a 3-band EQ, a high-pass filter, and a dedicated knob for sending to the internal effects engine. The mixer offers eight auxiliary sends—four pre-fader for monitor mixes and four post-fader for effects—along with comprehensive routing options to the four subgroups or the main stereo bus. The integrated USB audio interface provides 2-in/2-out connectivity, allowing for straightforward stereo recording of the main mix or playback from a computer directly into the console, seamlessly bridging analog mixing with digital workflows.
Completing its professional feature set are balanced XLR main outputs, separate control room and studio monitor outputs, a dedicated talkback section with a front-panel microphone input, and a high-power headphone amplifier. The inclusion of a 2-track input for playback and a comprehensive solo system with PFL functionality ensures this mixer can handle complex live sound reinforcement and studio production tasks. By merging high-quality analog mixing, built-in digital effects, and computer connectivity in a single, reliable package, the Mackie ProFX30v3 serves as a powerful and adaptable centerpiece for a wide range of professional audio environments.
