Should I buy this Mixer or the Mackie ProFX16v2?

We would have to agree with David! We've had great feedback on the Yamaha MG16XU! It offers similar effects, USB, and input capabilities as the Mackie ProFX16V2, for a lower price! The MG16XU is currently in stock separately and as a bundle package and ready to ship!

Yamaha according with my experience ,is the must prestigious brand, and this mixer in particularly have better equalizers and one more aux,also compressors, and 8 more effects so you don't need to be insecure about it.good lock!!

I can't say for sure which mixer is better but I have had excellent results from the Yamaha MG16XU. It has worked flawlessly and we have even had some gigs where it rained and the board got wet and the table it was on blown over. I just wiped it down, let it dry out, and it is back in business. I think the Yamaha rocks!

I use both and sub-mix from my large mixer into the T1 in my studio. The T1 is more than a mixer and has great effects and a DAW connection via USB. It also fits easily in my gig bag and gets used more because it's all I need for a smaller gig.

The Stage Pass speakers are passive speakers, not powered, so if the Mackie 808 are powered speakers, which I assume they are, you would have to connect them to the monitor out of the Stage pass powered mixer. The Stage Pass speakers are great designed speakers and is why this portable PA sounds so great. I highly recommend this PA!

HORSEPOWER! And if you use a mixer a lot, and/or use Kitchenaid attachments, you will appreciate the difference. I went through 2 Artisans before getting the heavy duty model, and I have no regrets. Outstanding results with this mixer.

You're not missing anything. It's a great little mixer, as advertised. The mic preamps are very nice as well. You don't get a built in USB interface, but that's about all you're missing. It's a very nice board, and I use mine daily :)

I just responded to this question, but aster doing some checking, I need to make a correction. I had this mixer for four years before it died.

Depends on the application. I use a single K10 for music concerts for indoors covering 200 people with plenty of power. I'm sure the K12 has slightly more low frequency attack you may be accustomed to from the Mackies. But the K10s are no slouch. Regardless the QSC will have better sound quality than the Mackies.

I dont' know, I still had my box that the mixer came in to find out the model number. Sorry I could not help.

This is pretty much the industry standard - Express is bundled with Mbox so its a good deal - but it is time consuming to set up - your choice of microphone will really determine the sound for your guitar and vocals - if you are on a budget I would recommend the Behringer B1 or something similar.

You would be surprised at sound quality of this mixer. I own two and love them. I play in large and small venues and it does a super job in all places! I play Beach and other kinds of music and Karaoke from a laptop and it works well for all! Microphone quality is excellent...

You need a good bit of gain, no matter how you get it. I run mine through a 14 channel mackie mixer with sound gates, processors. etc. That's all optional, any mixer should provide enough gain. Do not use phantom power, will destroy mic. If you have a mixer with at least 60 gain you'll be straight. I've never run it through a PC, so I'm not sure in that end. You just need some gain bud. A beautiful mic. You'll enjoy it.

I have it running through a Mackie powered mixer and that is the best way so that you can adjust the settings for the beat sound. microphone cables bought separately.

The AX3040 works great I also use the Behringer XENYX 1202 12 - input mixer it gives you more control over the voice quality.

You can buy a Mackie 402-VLZ3 mixer for $99 on Amazon. Nice clean preamps and it will power the Shure SM7B. This will also now give you a mixer to use with other things and inputs. It has some onboard EQ also. http://www.amazon.com/Mackie-4-Channel-Compact-Preamps-402VLZ4/dp/B00GYFFP8M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1386177530&sr;=1-1&keywords;=mackie+mixer

I would honestly recommend Mackie MR5 MK2 or Yamaha 5 or 6 in would be plenty. The KRK's are extremely popular, over-rated, equalized, and under-powered. People buy them before hearing and comparing them to better monitors. If you want the low-end, the MR5 would blow the KRK's off the shelf and they are flat so perfect for mixing too. $300 or less will get you into the MR5. I bought a pair for $200 at Sweetwater's Gearfest (Jeff x1229). If you are REALLY concerned with mixing, go with the YAMAHA. They are a tad more expensive but are some of the most accurate monitors out there.

Yep. You can use both as long as you have two xlr inputs available on your mixer.

DSP version has studio monitor emulation feature for headphone mixing, which is pretty cool. This is the version I have. Apart from that, they are exactly the same. I'd say get DSP. No reason to pay more for less. Looks like this one is sold through Proaudiostar, and the other is direct through amazon. Different sellers would account for different pricing, probably.
