The 1604-VLZ Pro is the mixer that earned Mackie its reputation: sixteen channels of clean, high-headroom analog with the famous XDR mic preamps, flexible four-bus routing, musical 3-band EQ and rock-solid build. It has been a fixture in project studios, live rigs and broadcast setups for decades because it simply does the job and keeps doing it. Plenty of aux sends for monitors and effects, inserts on every mono channel, and a layout you can navigate blindfolded. If you need a dependable analog hub for your gear, this is the classic answer.
