The 3204VLZ4 also boasts effects DSP with two internal FX sends, and even a 4 x 2, 24-bit USB audio interface for easy, high-quality recording. Add to all these features some high-resolution meters, generous I/O, and sealed rotary controls that keep out the dirt, the Mackie 3204VLZ4 is another great mixer from Mackie.

The Mackie 3204VLZ4 contains twenty-eight of Mackie's premium-quality Onyx mic preamps for natural, transparent sound, and one stereo channel. The mic/line channels are equipped with 3-band EQ with sweepable mids. Signal routing is easy and flexible. On top of all that, the Mackie 3204VLZ4 is built Mackie-tough - this mixer will perform even in the most harrowing situations.

The 3204VLZ4 boasts sealed rotary controls that resist grime, dust, and anything else that may spill onto your mixer. It's not designed to be fully waterproof, but it's an extra level of protection you'll be glad of when running live sound in a hectic environment.

VLZ stands for 'very low noise', and that's just part of the appeal of the Mackie 3204VLZ4 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 3204VLZ4's line inputs handle +22 dBu signal levels, so you can connect high-output sound sources without worrying about distorting your inputs.

The Mackie 3204VLZ4 mixer packs 32-bit RMFX+ effects processing, and you can use Aux 5 and Aux 6 on any channel to easily route it to the effects. From spacious reverbs and epic delays to rich chorus and other ear candy, you've got the tools you need to add that extra polish to your sound.

Just connect your laptop to the Mackie 3204VLZ4 via USB and you'll be able to record your show with a minimum of fuss. Stream up to four subgroups or the master L/R mix to your computer for recording. You can even use your favourite plug-ins as live processors via Auxes 5/6! You can also return a stereo signal from your computer to the board for playback, or even to a mixer channel to use EQ and monitoring sends. The Mackie 3204VLZ4 gives you more options than you've ever had with a VLZ mixer.
