High-quality equalization is a must for any good mixer, that's why we didn't cut any corners on the 1642-VLZ4. Channels 1-8 feature the same world-renowned 3-band Active equalization that you'll find on the 1604-VLZ4. Tremendous resources went into optimizing the center points of these mic channel equalizers, with the Lows at 80Hz and the Highs at 12kHz. Midrange compensation is handled by a peaking control with a two-octave variable frequency center. This means the Mids can be swept from 100Hz all the way up to 8kHz—with a boost or cut of 15dB.

We designed a fixed 4-band, “musically-correct” EQ for the remaining channels, which are primarily intended for line-level signals, such as keyboards, sound modules, and drum machines. This all adds up to practical, useful equalization, with the tone-shaping facility to actually improve the musical nature of the original signal.

PROFESSIONAL FEATURES
The Mackie 1642-VLZ4 mixer is packed with premium features on every channel: 75Hz Low-Cut filters, four Aux Sends, inserts, phantom power, constant-loudness Pan controls, OL (overload) and signal present LEDs, sub and main mix assign switches, and assignable AFL/PFL Solo switch. And since you can never have too many output options, we also provided a Control Room/Phones source matrix, Master Aux section with EFX to Monitor, tape outputs, a high-volume headphone amplifier, channels 1-8 direct outs, and balanced XLR and balanced/unbalanced TRS outputs.

BUILT MACKIE TOUGH
All VLZ4 mixers are built tough. Our legendary solid-steel chassis can take the kind of abuse that would turn our competitors' flimsy boxes into so much scrap. And instead of cheap, unsealed potentiometers, we use co-molded pots, which offer substantial strain relief at all critical points. By design, our control knobs “ride” just above the surface of the chassis, so if something heavy falls onto the mixer, the impact is transferred from the knobs to the steel chassis—not to the potentiometers or circuit board. Finally, to eliminate potential circuit board damage, we use a thick, horizontally mounted fiberglass PC board, braced with a shock-absorbing support structure. Nobody builds ’em tougher than Mackie!

SUPERIOR SOUND QUALITY
Above all, the 1642-VLZ4 has superior sound quality, wide dynamic range, tons of headroom and extremely low noise, allowing you to create high-quality professional output. Whether you're tracking in the project studio or laying down the truth in front of a live audience, you can always count on the Mackie 1642-VLZ4 to provide superb sound quality and extreme versatility.
