I have owned a Mackie ProFX4V2 got two years and it works flawlessly. Due to an increase in band members I purchased the ProFX8v2 yesterday. Again, nice mixer but there are some very funky and disturbing sounds going on when you enable the FX channel. I can hear this using just headphones with nothing plugged into the board. I hope it is just a defective unit and not a design flaw in the 8 series. It's going back to the store today!

I own this board and have since October of 2016. It has been set up in our heated practice space since... worked great until last night. Right channel output to speaker quit working. Long story short I called L&M 3 months outside of warranty... they will look at it for $75.00 an hour. Called the manufacturer 1 800 number, we did a trouble shoot over the phone. Confirmed the output section in the board is the issue but again 3 months past warranty so no dice. I can send it at my expense to a Depot in Winnipeg and wait god knows how long to find out how much it will cost to fix... take it for what it's worth.. I won't buy another mackie product.

I just got it yesterday. I was shocked at the size of the box L&M packed it in. This isn't a complaint as it was packed so well, the chances of it getting damaged while in transit were very slim. Also, it was at my door a day and a half from the time I put in my order. Kudos, L&M!!! I am using this mixer primarily for recording and from what my tests have shown me, it is perfect for doing so. Setup was seamless. I just plugged it into a USB port and I was ready to go. No drivers means that I will be using it for years, regardless of how many updates and changes are made to the OS. As usual, Mackie has built this mixer like a tank! The faders and pots feel like quality for something in this price class. Effects are so-so but I use an external effects unit so this isn't an issue for me. There is virtually no learning curve to start using this mixer. It took me around 5 minutes to figure what I want to do with it. All in all, you get a fantastic little mixer for the money!

I bought this for jam sessions and occasional duty at social functions. It works well for a few vocals, guitars and keyboard. The effects are good, as is the USB in. I haven't used the USB to record nor did I need to install a driver to get it to connect to the computer (Windows 10). The only caveat, like most small mixers, is that the channels are not all general purpose so you have to be aware of the features per channel and see if it is enough, given what you may already have, like DI boxes. The only minor negative I've found is that the sliders are smooth and solid while sliding but wobbly side to side if you just jiggle them.

A very good mixer but the support is not what I expected when I registered it, and wanted some updates to their software. It seemed at the time there was some conflicts with Behringer. But the mixer itself is good.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
