| Mackie 1604-VLZ3 Details
The Mackie 1604-VLZ3 Premium 16-Channel/4-Bus Compact Mixer builds on the legacy of the world's best-selling mixer, the 1604-VLZ Pro. Sixteen studio-quality XDR2 second-generation mic preamps, along with redesigned 3-band Active EQ circuitry (with sweepable mids), give the 1604-VLZ3 its greatly enhanced sound quality. All channels feature insert points and line-level inputs for extreme versatility. The unique Rotopod option allows for two different desktop, and three different rackmount configurations. The new multi-voltage power supply allows it to be used anywhere in the world. Ideal for live use, and home and project studios seeking superior performance, the versatile 1604-VLZ3 Compact Mixer is equally at home on the stage or in the studio.
New and improved design
This powerful new line of Mackie mixers improves on the legendary performance of our highly acclaimed VLZ-Pro compacts. Mackie engineers burned the late-night oil and extracted even more headroom and frequency response from their successful XDR2 preamps. Then they tweaked the channel EQ for optimal performance and built an even better Mix Bus. After the dust settled and after some much needed sleep, they unveiled the new VLZ3 Series-mixers with individual mic pre THD below 0.0007%, and overall THD less than 0.0025%. (In case you're not an electronics engineer, that means they're incredibly quiet!)
New and improved design
The Mackie VLZ3 Series builds on the features and functionality of previous VLZs, and they sound and look better than ever. A new voltage-selectable power supply means you can use these mixers anywhere in the world without investing your life's savings in bizarre voltage adapters. The Mackie mixers you've come to know and love are now even more perfect than ever.
