Mackie 1604VLZ4 16-Channel Compact Analog Mixer

The 1604VLZ4 is the classic sixteen-channel Mackie, giving every input its own Onyx mic preamp so you can mic a full band or a broadcast panel without running out of good-sounding gain. Each preamp delivers up to 60 dB of clean gain, and the three-band EQ carries a sweepable midrange to dial out problem frequencies rather than only cut or boost at a fixed point.

Four aux sends drive monitors and effects, balanced inserts patch in outboard processing, and 60 mm faders give precise level control. The rugged steel chassis with a powder-coat finish and sealed rotary controls make it a fixture in studios, broadcast rooms, and live rigs.
