Introduction
The 1604-VLZ PRO is the latest update of our
CR1604-VLZ, incorporating our new ultra-high quality
XDR™ (Extended Dynamic Range) mic preamps with
the best RFI rejection of any compact mixer design on
the market and maximum freedom from ground loops.
Like all Mackie mixers, the 1604-VLZ PRO is
designed for rugged, 24-hour-a-day use. It is a
supremely fl exible mixer, not just because of its mul-
tiple input/output confi gurations, but because of its
true 4-bus architecture, 6 aux sends (with 3-4/5-6 shift
switch), and extensive routing capabilities.
No matter what the application, the 1604-VLZ
PRO can be confi gured for optimal use. As a table-
top mixer, input/output jacks can be positioned at
the rear of the unit, or with the optional RotoPod Kit
(RP1604-VLZ), positioned on the same plane as the
controls. Placed in a rack system, the 1604-VLZ PRO
can be set so that jacks are facing front (using the
RotoPod kit) or facing the rear to keep wandering
hands from playing with cords. Whether used in a
permanent installation, or as a portable mixer, the
1604-VLZ PRO is completely at home.
Built like a tank, the 1604-VLZ PRO is a team
player that can stand up to vigorous use, day in
and day out, any place it is installed. Its sturdy-yet-
light steel monocoque construction houses rugged,
double-sided through-hole-plated fi berglass circuit
boards, and 60mm faders with ultra-tight lip seals
for keeping out dust and other contaminants.
Impact-resistant knobs are mounted so they "ride"
just above the steel chassis — they absorb impact
without trouble. They’re designed to last, too,
thanks to co-molded potentiometers that don’t get
brittle and crack up. Then, we use metal stand-offs
