Mackie's ProFXv3+ series builds on the trusted legacy of the original ProFX range, delivering reliable, professional-grade USB mixers – enhanced with modern tools for today's content creators and performers. Designed for real-world use across home studios, rehearsal spaces, live-streams, and small stages, each model features high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz USB-C recording, editable GigFX+ effects, Mackie's signature Onyx mic preamps, and latency-free monitoring via dual USB returns. The ProFX10v3+ expands on the compact 6-channel model with four mic inputs, an additional stereo channel, a control room output, and an aux send, extending its utility to small bands, multi-mic setups, and more demanding hybrid workflows. Bluetooth connectivity, flexible USB-C recording modes, and a full-colour LCD for effects editing round out a mixer that balances hands-on control with modern flexibility.
The Mackie ProFX10v3+ is equipped with four Onyx microphone preamps, each offering up to 60dB of clean gain with ample headroom for vocals, acoustic instruments, and other dynamic sources. All mic input channels feature 3-band EQ, switchable 48V phantom power, and 100Hz low-cut filters. Channels 1 and 2 also provide one-knob compression and Hi-Z switches for direct instrument input. Audio effects are handled by the GigFX+ engine, offering editable reverbs, delays, and modulation effects that can be adjusted and saved via the full-colour LCD screen. Effects can be routed to channels or the main mix, with dedicated mute buttons, as well as an optional footswitch for live use. A stereo 1/8" input on channels 9/10 accommodates mobile devices or external playback sources, while bi-directional Bluetooth allows music or call audio to be routed directly into the mix.
With its increased channel count and expanded routing, the Mackie ProFX10v3+ sits comfortably between compact desktop mixers and full live consoles. It's a strong choice for small bands, rehearsal rooms, project studios, and creators who regularly work with multiple microphones or instruments. The inclusion of an aux send supports monitor mixes or external processing, while the dedicated control room output makes it easier to manage separate listening or recording paths alongside regular streaming duties. Whether used as the main mixer for a small live setup, a flexible recording front end, or a hybrid hub combining microphones, instruments, and playback sources, the ProFX10v3+ strikes a great balance between traditional hands-on mixing and contemporary workflows, with scope to expand as needs evolve.
In 1988 Greg Mackie, already a successful co-founder of a pro audio company, founded Mackie Designs Inc. with the goal of producing affordable, high-quality mixers. The company's first official product, the LM-1602 line mixer, was initially produced within the four walls of his home. As sales figures were encouraging, its successor model CR-1604 soon followed - and in 1991 the company finally moved into its first proper production facility. The combination of reliable quality and low prices quickly brought the company enormous success, so that by 1995 Mackie had already sold 100,000 products. In 2003, the company was renamed LOUD Audio, LLC so that there is no longer any confusion between the Mackie brand and its former parent company of the same name.
The Mackie ProFX10v3+ doubles as a 2-in/4-out USB-C audio interface, capturing the main mix at up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution while providing two independent stereo returns from the DAW. USB-C enables three recording modes, each suited to a specific task: Standard records the full mix with effects, Interface sends a clean signal from channels 1/2 to the DAW, and Loopback blends computer audio into the mix for livestreaming or voiceover work. A front panel blend knob makes it easy to balance inputs and playback for latency-free monitoring. Bluetooth adds another layer of practicality, bringing backing tracks or phone audio straight into the mix. The mixer ships with Waveform OEM and the DAW Essentials Collection, a complete recording and production toolkit featuring 16 professional plug-ins covering EQ, compression, reverb, delay, and modulation.
ProFXv3 vs ProFXv3+
All ProFXv3 models share Mackie's core hallmarks, including Onyx mic preamps, 24-bit/192kHz USB audio, and a bundled production package. The standard ProFXv3 range focuses on classic live and recording duties, with fixed GigFX presets and USB-B connectivity suited to straightforward DAW and stage setups. The ProFXv3+ models build on this foundation with editable GigFX+ effects, USB-C recording modes, and bi-directional Bluetooth for wireless playback or call-in sources, with effect editing and preset management handled via a full-colour LCD screen. In practice, both ranges deliver reliable, professional sound, but the "Plus" models add a small set of practical tools, aimed at streamers, podcasters, and hybrid creators working across live and digital environments.
