Add to all these features some high-resolution meters, generous I/O, and sealed rotary controls that keep out the dirt, the Mackie 1604VLZ4 is another great mixer from Mackie.

The Mackie 1604VLZ4 contains sixteen of Mackie's premium-quality Onyx mic preamps for natural, transparent sound. The mic/line channels are equipped with a 3-band EQ with sweepable mids. Signal routing is easy and flexible. On top of all that, the Mackie 1604VLZ4 is built Mackie-tough - this mixer will perform even in the most harrowing situations.

VLZ stands for 'very low noise', and that's just part of the appeal of the Mackie 1604VLZ4 mixer. In all you've got a 128.5dB dynamic range, making it easy to achieve full, punchy mixes. The Onyx mic preamps have a 60dB gain range, so you can get the best out of virtually any microphone. Also, the 1604VLZ4's line inputs handle +22 dBu signal levels, so you can connect high-output sound sources without worrying about distorting your inputs.
