Noiseless Vita Preamps

Mackie are proud to bring Vita Preamps to your desk. Each preamp is virtually noiseless, featuring a discrete Class-A front end design, dual feedback stabilization, and bias current optimization. The result is unmatched low-noise performance, and unfaltering signal integrity.

The Next Generation in Effects Engines

Add depth and texture to your mix with the all-new ReadyFX engine. The ProFX8v2 offers a choice of 16 detailed effects that are guaranteed to elevate your inputs. And because the ReadyFX engine is built to process high-quality audio with an intuitive floating-point DSP, you're sure to inspire audiences everywhere.

Advanced Live Mixing Toolkit

Mackie understands the demands every sound engineer faces. That's why each ProFX8v2 is a well-stocked audio toolkit. From critical tools like multi-band graphic equalization, to smart features like channel inserts and footswitchable FX mute, this versatile console always has the tools you need.

Simple USB Recording/Playback

Want to record your mix straight to your desk? No problem. Simply capture your mix via the built in USB interface and easy to use Tracktion recording software. You can even use your interface to playback audio between sets for maximum atmosphere.

Impressive 3-Band Equalization

The ProFX8v2 gives you everything you need to build a memorable live sound. Take control of 3-band equalization at carefully selected points, helping you boosts or cut all frequencies whenever you're ready. The Hi EQ is ultra-flat at the detent, providing up to 15 dB of boost or cut above 12kHz. Use it to add sizzle to cymbals, an overall sense of transparency, or an edge to keyboards, vocals, and guitar.

Increase the cut to reduce sibilance from a microphone or to mask tape hiss. The mid EQ is perfectly centred at 2.5kHz, ideal for manipulating the dynamics of connected instrument. Additionally, the low EQ provides up to 15 dB of boost or cutting below 80 Hz. This frequency represents the punch in bass drums, bass guitar, fat synth patches, and some baritone singers.
