The ProFXv3 Series, a Benchmark for Versatile Consoles

Inserts, subgroups, and multiple outputs ensure clean integration into any sound reinforcement or production setup.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for bands, small venues, schools, places of worship, and content creators, this console covers live sound capture, multitrack rehearsal recording, streaming, and podcasting. Flexible monitoring (headphone and Control Room) facilitates personalized foldbacks and mix control at every stage.
Key Features for a Smooth Workflow
Inputs and Channel Processing
The mic/line inputs feature inserts, generous gain (up to 60 dB), and a 100 Hz high-pass filter. The first channels benefit from an integrated compressor to tame dynamics, while the 3-band EQ with semi-parametric mids allows precise shaping (channels 15/16 have a 3-band EQ).
USB Interface and Monitoring
The USB port handles playback and recording. The "USB/DIRECT" control on the headphone and Control Room outputs allows custom monitoring, useful for overdubs, live streaming, and quick soundchecks.
Routing, Effects, and Outputs
Two subgroups facilitate managing groups (drums, choirs, keyboards). The GigFX multi-effect with 24 presets, footswitch controllable, adds reverbs, delays, and modulations. The main outputs in XLR and 6.35 mm TRS, as well as FX, Monitor, Control Room, and headphone outputs, cover all scenarios.
