ProFX16 and ProFX22
The Mackie ProFX Series 4•Bus mixers include effects,
graphic EQ and USB I/O all in one professional package.
The ProFX16 is a Professional 16-channel mixer with 10 mic
preamps and four full stereo channels while the 22-channel
ProFX22 comes with 16 mic preamps and four full stereo
channels.
Each mic channel has an input Gain control with 50 dB of
gain, a sharp 18 dB/octave, 100 Hz Low Cut lter, 3-band EQ
(with mid-sweep on the mono channels), three Aux sends
[two monitors and FX], Pan, Mute and a 60mm fader. There
are dedicated inline compressors on the last four mono
channels of each ProFX mixer and a Channel Insert jack for
connecting an external processor on the remaining mono
channels.
Additionally, the ProFX Series mixers include Mackie’s
classic high-headroom, low-noise mic preamps, integrated
effects and a precision 7-band graphic EQ for tuning the
room or the monitors.
The 32-bit RMFX™ processor has 16 “Gig-Ready” effects,
including reverbs, choruses and delays. ProFX allows stereo
playback from, and recording to, a computer via USB.
Other features include phantom power, a stereo tape input
and output, a 1/4-inch stereo headphone jack, stereo
12-segment LED meters, XLR and TRS stereo output jacks
and a footswitch jack to connect a remote control for muting
the FX.
APPLICATIONS
