Mackie ProFX6v3+ 6-Channel Professional Analog Mixer with USB, Onyx Mic Preamps, GigFX Effects Engine, and Bluetooth

Damn..... Finally After buying, testing and returning 3 mixers within 10 days, I finally settled into Mackie. Small but powerful packed with all features. I was basically loking for few inputs for home use only and the Software included with the product enhanced the comfort zone while using with computer for recording. Overall, its a genuine deal at affordable price. Just Go for it

I hate writing reviews, but I felt that the Mackie was worth it. In the past, I owned at 1202 vlz pro- not ever turning it off for about 25 years. Yeah, I’m stupid that way. But the point is – the 1202 still works other than having a little bit of issues with one channel but that’s hardware that holds up! The Mackie profx16v3 has surprised me in many ways. I use the aux sends and subgroups way more than I thought I ever would. I have outboard compressors and EQ’s so I’m a bit of a power user but not a pro. I have been making music for over 25 years in that entire time I have only owned mackie mixers, but I’ve also owned universal audio’s stuff, motu, and Behringer audio interfaces. The reason that I bring up other gears that I kind of understand what sounds great, and sort of deduced that it kind of doesn’t matter what you have as long as it has a good noise floor as long as you can use other gear to beef it up. The mackies do with the new Onyx preamps. I looked it up & I think it was like 65dB headroom, it can cost thousands on other better mixers and be only 75db sometimes…so in that regard, another win. The crazy part is, I really like the onboard effects. There’s like no control over any part of them and that’s why I like them. They come really quick in a mix when you just need a little reverb or just a chorus or a stupid echo- I use it a lot! Good job on that too. The reason that I picked the PROFX16V3 was because of the eight channels of inserts. I love inserts on mixers because of the way that you can compress or EQ or put effects on single channels, but still remain in the mix. What I’m messing with now a little bit is that you can use an insert cable that has TS on one side and one TRS on the other side and route every Mackie insert channel to your multi channel audio interface and effectively make it into a tascam 12. … it can do that! I would love to have something like the SSL BIG SIX, but since I can’t afford it, I use this and with some silly pirated plugins on top of this, I sound great enough with the mackie. It’s not audiophile quality but it’s great. The onyx preamps on channels 1-8 can be saturated nicely! When I run out of them I feel sad when I just use the other channels haha. I would buy this again! It’s built really solid and it’s a comfortable mixer for my small studio.

I'm a retired audio pro contractor. I still keep equipment on hand to do some mobile video DJ gigs, a few installs, consulting and small rental jobs. I mainly use a Midas MR18 digital rack mixer. I have a small Soundcraft analog mixer too. A friend, very active in pro sound, who has tons of Yamaha digital consoles and rack mixers bought a few of these and really likes them. This Mackie intrigued me because of it's many features, primarily the 2-way bluetooth with mix minus. I recently installed a Mackie DLZ mixer in a podcast studio for a friend. It has bluetooth with mix minus too. We linked his cell phone & had several people call in. The incoming call quality was excellent. They heard us back through the podcast mics. I figured the ability to be able do a small PA rental and take incoming calls from guests would be beneficial so I ordered this ProFX10 Go. I also appreciate the simple compression on inputs 1 & 2, built-in effects, phantom power & the same 3 band EQ on all 7 input channels including the 3 stereo channels. The battery operation is added benefit.

The built-in Bluetooth is super handy—I use it to play backing tracks during vocal lessons without needing extra cables. The USB connection to my computer is also seamless for recording or Zoom sessions. I’ve also set it up as the main control hub for my home karaoke system, and it works perfectly. Customer service was excellent too—when I had a few setup questions, they walked me through everything quickly and clearly over the phone.

Excellent studio mixer. Ideal for poscasting or home producers. Very sturdy, well made, and the knobs and faders are very easy to use. The only issue I have had is making sure you have the correct drivers so that you can use the CJ sole with DAWs. You have to set up the midi routing for each DAW used, and the presets cannot be saved, so you basically have to configure it each time you load the software you’ll be using it with. I have always been pleased with all the Mackie gear I have in my setup. This console is very similar to the Tascam model 12, which costs 2x as much. The main difference between the two is that the Tascam can be used as a standalone recording suite, whereas the Mackie must be connected to a machine and a DAW. All in all good purchase.

I got this mixer for the bluetooth and size and it fits neatly on my desk next to my HX Stomp and DITTO4 looper. I bluetooth pair my MAC with it and I can practice along with backing tracks and it sounds awesome through my new Yamaha monitors! The unit sounds great and the built in effects are great as well.

Amazing mixer, perfect small venue wireless setup for live music and musicians! Top notch quality! Mackie makes the best mixers on the market! Period! Why? Sound Features Versatility Tun-ability Built in Effects EQ adjustability Must have top notch speakers or the mixer is useless. Make sure you have ground fault plugs when using power source and high quality wireless devices. Use it for music player, live performance,

Well built, cristal clear audio, no hiss or hum, and that clean icy EQ that Mackie is known for. Love it! Well built and works well in a multi-track recording setup as the audio interface. Make sure and use the Mackie driver. The mixer will use the Windows native driver just fine but the native driver will not allow access to USB channels 3 and 4. Without the Mackie driver you can not listen to playback and record new tracks without the old tracks rerecording on top of the new tracks.
