1. Power Connection
ProFX6v3, ProFX10v3:
A locking barrel connector resides at one
end of the line cord. Attach it to the power
connector on the mixer and rotate the ring
clockwise to lock. Do not over-tighten!
Screw until there is resistance, then stop.
Connect the other end into a live grounded
AC outlet.
ProFX12v3, ProFX16v3, ProFX22v3, ProFX30v3:
This is a standard 3-prong IEC power
connector. Connect the detachable line
cord (included in the box with your mixer)
to the power receptacle, and plug the other
end of the line cord into an AC outlet.
ProFXv3 Series mixers have a universal power
supply that accepts any AC voltage ranging from
100 VAC to 240 VAC. No need for voltage select
switches. It will work virtually anywhere in the world.
That’s why we call it a “Planet-Earth” power supply!
It is less susceptible to voltage sags or spikes,
compared to conventional power supplies,
and provides greater electromagnetic isolation
and better protection against AC line noise.
Disconnecting the plug’s ground pin is
dangerous. Don’t do it.
2. Power Switch
Press the top of this rocker switch inwards to turn
on the mixer. The front panel power LED will glow
with happiness...or at least it will if you have the mixer
plugged into a suitable live AC mains supply.
Press the bottom of this switch to turn the mixer
off. It will not work at this point, but makes a handy
paperweight.
As a general guide, you should turn
on the mixer first, before any external
power amplifiers or powered speakers,
and turn it off last. This will reduce the possibility
of any turn-on, or turn-off thumps in your speakers.

3. USB Input / Output
The built-in USB interface allows for some powerful
and flexible routing. It is a 2x4, 24-bit / 192 kHz
high-resolution interface allowing you to record
a stereo signal to the computer via USB, and/or return
two independent audio streams of stereo playback
from a computer.
The USB routing capabilities are as follows:
USB input TO the mixer – playback:
(1) A USB 3-4 switch is located on the last stereo
channel – the one with the 1/8" input – of each mixer,
so one may route computer output (such as Spotify®,
Apple Music®, Pandora®, YouTube®, etc.) down the last
stereo channel of the board. This stereo signal may
then be EQ’d, sent to auxiliaries (i.e. to feed monitors,
headphones or effects) and is routable to mains
and/or subgroups via the fader routing features that
are available on all other channels. In short, this signal
may be sent to nearly any desired output or pair of
outputs. Additionally, the associated gain knob adjusts
the USB input level to the mixer to achieve an optimal
signal level.
(2) A USB 1-2 blend knob and To Phones / Control
Room switch is located near the lower-right side
of each mixer so one may route the computer’s DAW
output (such as Pro Tools®, Tracktion®, Cubase®,
Reaper®, etc.) to the mixer and blend that signal
with the live inputs of the mixer in the headphones
for latency-free monitoring.
USB output FROM the mixer – recording, etc:
It is possible to record the main mix to take home
a copy of the live show. These levels are pre-main fader.
Therefore, levels may be mixed up or down in the DAW
later depending on the needs of the recording versus
the live show. The end result is that fade-ins and/or
fade-outs made during the show do not affect recorded
levels.
