Mackie Pro FX 8 Mixer with Digital FX
The Pro FX series features the most comprehensive mixers for small to medium gigs. They feature everything you might need including inserts on the mic channels for compressors or gates, 3 band EQ and low cut on the 8 main channels, overall 7-band EQ for the mains, and built in effects so you don't have to worry about external FX units to get that professional touch of reverb or delay onto your live sound.
As an additional touch, the ProFX8 can connect to a computer via USB so you can deliver music between sets from your computer's media player without the interference from computer monitors or laptop power supplies that often dirty the signal on a line level cable.
Here's what Mackie say about the ProFX8
On-stage or off, the ProFX Series Compact Effects Mixers offer the most complete and professional feature set in their class. Features like integrated 32-bit RMFX; “Gig-Ready” effects and 7-band graphic EQ enhance the sound of your shows, with minimal effort. Mackie low-noise, high-headroom mic preamps ensure pristine signal from the start and ABS sidecheeks offer additional impact resistance to the already rugged steel chassis. Simply professional-ProFX.
Mackie's 8-channel ProFX8 Compact Mixer with integrated effects is the complete and simple solution for small to mid-size performance venues. Four Mackie low-noise, high-headroom mic preamps ensure pristine signal while LED metering and 60mm faders on each channel keep levels in check. Sweeten the mix using the 3-band active EQ and integrated RMFX; 32-bit processor, which offers an arsenal of “Gig-Ready” effects. Easily tune mains and monitors with 7-band stereo graphic EQ and capture the mix or stream house music from a laptop using built-in USB I/O. Also, protective ABS side panels encase the already rugged solid steel chassis.
