Mackie 1604-VLZ3 Mackie 1604-VLZ3 Description: If you're looking for a compact mixer equally suited for the stage or the recording studio, then look no further-the Mackie 1604-VLZ Pro is your mixer. The 1604-VLZ Pro is the top mixer choice of audio professionals for any application where sound quality, ease of use, and durability are paramount. Thousands of recordings have been tracked and mixed solely on it-including some very well known ones. And an astounding number of 1604-VLZ Pros can be found on stages and in gig-racks, the world over. With its staggering array of professional features, the Mackie 1604-VLZ Pro is perfectly at home, no matter where you use it; on the road, on the stage, or in the studio. Here at Mackie, we take our compact mixers very seriously and we are proud of the innovation we've brought to the market place. Mackie mixer preamps are so quiet and clean, that many of our competitors have tried to copy them-and with performance specs like ours (under 0.0007% THD from 20Hz-20kHz), who can blame them. Our highly musical EQ gives you complete control over tonality and harmonic content. And our ingenious Split-Monitoring function allows you to record and playback eight tracks without re-patching. Leave it to the innovative minds at Mackie to produce the 1604-VLZ Pro, the best-sounding mixer in its class for more than ten years running. XDR MICROPHONE PREAMPS The VLZ Pro Series features our XDR (Extended Dynamic Range) mic preamps, which are ultra-quiet and provide tremendous headroom. This means the 16 XDR mic preamps in the 1604-VLZ Pro mixer can handle signal levels from a whisper, all the way up to a scream, without any added coloration. Preamps of this quality aren't found on other mixers in this price range; they often only appear on larger consoles costing thousands of dollars more. THREE-BAND EQUALIZATION WITH SWEEPABLE MIDS High-quality equalization is a must for any good mixer, that's why we didn't cut any corners when it came to our 3-band Active EQs-and why we include them on every channel. Tremendous resources went into optimizing the center points of the VLZ Pro's EQ. As a result, we fixed the Lows at 80Hz and the Highs at 12kHz. Midrange compensation is handled by a peaking control with a two-octave variable frequency center. This means that the Mids can be swept from a low of 100Hz, all the way up to 8kHz-with a boost or cut of 15dB. This gives VLZ Pro mixers practical, useful equalization, providing not only sonic enhancement and correction, but also the tone-shaping facility to actually improve the musical nature of the original signal. PROFESSIONAL FEATURES Don't let its compact size fool you.
