12 ProFX8 and Pr oFX12 Pr oFX8 and ProFX12 Rear Panel Features 1. POWER CONNECTION This is a standard 3-prong IEC AC power connector . Securely connect the supplied detachable linecord in here, and plug the other end into an AC outlet. The mixer has a universal power supply that can accept any AC voltage ranging from 100 V AC to 240 V AC.
13 Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual Front Panel Features Connection Section This is where you plug things in: microphones, line- level instruments and effects, headphones, and the ultimate destination for your sound: P A system, stage monitors, effects processors, CD player/recorder , etc.
14 ProFX8 and Pr oFX12 Pr oFX8 and ProFX12 The insert point is after the gain control [20], level set LED [21], and low cut switch [22], but before the channel EQ [23-25] and fader [31]. The channel signal can go out of the insert jack to an external device, be processed (or whatever) and come back in on the same insert jack.
15 Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual 13. MON SEND Stage monitors allow the talented musicians in your band to hear themselves clearly on stage, and this can often be a good thing. The monitor mix can be care- fully adjusted in level using the aux mon controls [26].
16 ProFX8 and Pr oFX12 Pr oFX8 and ProFX12 18. T APE INPUT These stereo unbalanced RCA inputs ar e designed to work with semipro as well as pro player/recorders. Y ou can also connect any standard source with an unbal- anced line-level output, such as a CD or DVD player , iPod dock, and so on.
17 Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual Channel Controls The vertical channel strips look very similar , with only a few differences between them. Each channel works independently , and just controls the signals plugged into the inputs directly above it.
18 ProFX8 and Pr oFX12 Pr oFX8 and ProFX12 For hybrid channels (mic input and stereo line input), the gain control just affects the microphone input. For stereo channels (no mic input) the gain control just affects the line-level inputs, with 20 dB of gain, and 20 dB of attenuation.
19 Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual Another way to consider low cut’s function is that it actually adds fl exibility during live performances. With the addition of low cut, you can safely use low EQ on vocals. Many times, bass shelving EQ can really ben- efi t voices.
20 ProFX8 and Pr oFX12 Pr oFX8 and ProFX12 27. AUX FX These knobs tap a portion of each channel's signal to set up a nice FX mix feeding the internal FX processor , and to feed external processors via the FX output [14]. The aux FX feed from hybrid and stereo channels is a mono sum of the left and right sides of these channels.
21 Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual Master Controls 32. PHANTOM POWER SWITCH If your microphones need phantom power , press in this switch to add phantom power to all the XLR mi- crophone inputs of the mixer . This lets the mixer send low-current DC voltage to the mic’ s electronics through the same wires that carry audio.
22 ProFX8 and Pr oFX12 Pr oFX8 and ProFX12 35. BREAK SWITCH This important "take-a-break" switch quickly mutes all the microphones and line-level inputs when the band is between sets. This will prevent protestors or rogue karaoke singers from storming the stage at the interval.
23 Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual 41. USB THRU In addition to a mix of the other channels, the USB output to your computer can contain any input from your computer , if this switch is down. (This switch only affects the output to your computer , not the headphones or main mix.
24 ProFX8 and Pr oFX12 Pr oFX8 and ProFX12 Stereo Effects Processor The Mackie Running-Man 32-bit internal effects pro- cessor is a mono-in, stereo-out effects processor , with 16 presets. It is fed by adjusting the aux FX control [27] on each channel.

Useful on vocals that require a brighter re- verb to cut through the mix, or for giving acoustic instruments a livelier vibe.
