Mackie ProFX8v2 Manual Do Proprietário

s Manual

The 1/4" TRS output connectors provide balanced or 

unbalanced line-level signals. Connect these to the next 
device in the signal chain like an external processor 
(compressor/limiter), or directly to the inputs of the 
main amplifier. These are the same signal that appears 
at the XLR main outputs, but 6 dB lower than the XLR 
outputs. When the meters read “0”, these TRS outputs 
are at 0 dBu.

The male XLR connectors provide a balanced  

line-level signal that represents the end of the mixer 
chain, where your fully mixed stereo signal enters the 
real world. Connect these to the left and right inputs  
of your main power amplifiers, powered speakers,  
or serial effects processor (like a graphic equalizer  
or compressor/limiter). The XLR outputs are 6 dB  
hotter than the TRS outputs.

The XLR output jacks on the ProFX8v2  
and ProFX12v2 are located on the rear panel.

These 1/4" jacks are usually patched to the inputs  

of a control room amplifier or a headphone distribution 
amplifier. 

These four 1/4" jacks are usually patched to the 

inputs of a multitrack deck or to secondary amplifiers  
in a complex installation.

This 1/4" TRS connector supplies the output to stereo 

headphones. It is the same signal that is routed to the 
control room outputs. 

The phones volume is controlled with...  

          • ...the phones knob right above the mon fader  
 [ProFX8v2, 

ProFX12v2]. 

          • ...the cr/phones knob right above the main  
 

mix fader [ProFX16v2, ProFX22v2, ProFX30v2].

Whenever a solo switch is engaged, you will only hear 

the soloed channel(s) in the headphones. This gives 
you the opportunity to audition the channels before 
they are added to the main mix. (Solo signals reaching 
the headphones are not affected by the channel level or 
main level, therefore turn down the phones level first, as 
soloed channels may be loud.)

The phones output follows  standard conventions: 

 

Tip = Left channel 

 

Ring = Right channel 

 

Sleeve = Common ground

WARNING: The headphone amp is loud and 
can cause permanent hearing damage. Even 
intermediate levels may be painfully loud 

with some headphones. BE CAREFUL! Always turn the 
phones level control all the way down before connecting 
headphones or pressing a solo switch, or doing anything 
new that may affect the headphone volume. Then turn it 
up slowly as you listen carefully.

The stereo unbalanced RCA inputs allow you to  

play a CD player, MP3 player, or other line-level source. 
The tape in jacks accept an unbalanced signal using 
standard hi-fi hookup cables.

The stereo unbalanced RCA outputs allow you to 

record the main stereo mix onto a hard disk recorder  
or automatic CD burner, for example. This lets you  
make a recording for posterity/archive/legal purposes 
whenever the band gets back together again.

The tape output is the stereo main mix, and it is not 

affected by the main mix fader.

 

The output could also be 

used as an extra set of main outputs for feeding another 
zone.
