Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO 16-Channel Audio Mixing Board

Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO 16-Channel Audio Mixing Board

The 1604-VLZ PRO is the latest update of our CR1604-VLZ, incorporating our new ultra-high quality XDR™ (Extended Dynamic Range) mic preamps with the best RFI rejection of any compact mixer design on the market and maximum freedom from ground loops. Like all Mackie mixers, the 1604-VLZ PRO is designed for rugged, 24-hour-a-day use. It is a supremely flexible mixer, not just because of its multiple input/output configurations, but because of its true 4-bus architecture, 6 aux sends (with 3-4/5-6 shift switch), and extensive routing capabilities.

Features:

• 16 low noise/high headroom XDR™ (Extended Dynamic Range) XLR mic inputs with the best RFI rejection of any compact mixer design and maximum freedom from ground loops.
• 16 balanced/unbalanced mono line inputs
• True 4-bus design
• Multi-way physical confi guration via rotatable I/O pod, or optional RotoPod Kit (RP1604-VLZ)
• Inserts on all channels
• Direct outs on channels 1–8
• 3-band EQ with sweepable mids
• 75Hz, 18dB/oct. Low Cut fi lter on each channel
• PFL/AFL (Solo In-Place) on all channels (global)
• Very Low Impedance (VLZ) architecture
• Control Room/Phones source matrix
• 6 aux sends, 2 with master level controls
• Wide input gain range with “virtual pad”
• Stereo main outputs plus mono main output with separate level control
• Balanced inputs and outputs (except RCAs, phones & inserts)
• Level set LED and marker
