Mackie 1642 VLZ4 5-stars Reviews

Built like a tank, does what is says

I'm using this mixer in my small home studio with some synths, drum computers and effect modules.

The mixer is encased in metal plates and built like a tank. The faders and knobs have a good feel, not too loose, and the lights are bright.

The 4 aux sends are awesome and sub groups can come in very handy.

This mixer sounds great and the low noise onyx preamps do their job.

Great mixer!

Superb mixer

This is such a clever mixer with a pristine audio quality!

Except for the tape in/out everything is offered with balanced in and outputs. This makes such a big difference if you connect balanced audio cards or gear. WIth the Macki Big Knob connected, I also can select between two studio speaker systems. I scaled down in size of the mixer in my studio, but not in quality.

Litte note: with the stereo inputs or the main LR you might think that it is not even (L+R) looking at the led rows. But if you move the slider (stereo input or L+R) it picks up in the led display and it is again even.
