WHY VLZ3 EQ
IS BETTER
These graphs may
look intimidating.
But trust us—VLZ3’s
EQ is more musical
and offers more
creative control
over the full
frequency range,
thanks to improved
interaction of the
separate EQ bands.
WHY XDR2 MIC PRES ARE BETTER
Our new XDR2 “Extended Dynamic Range” mic preamps have a
much wider frequency range, especially in the low end, even at
extremely high gain settings.

NEGATIVE SUMMING ARCHITECTURE
WHY VLZ3S
HAVE MORE HEADROOM AND LESS DISTORTION
High headroom and low noise have always been hallmarks of Mackie mixers. With the new
VLZ3s we’re able to get even more headroom and less noise thanks to a better use of negative
summing architecture. We mix all signals in the summing amp at –6dB, for lots of headroom right
off the bat. Then we add 6dB of gain to the standard 10dB found in the fader gain stage. The net
result is the ability to mix more hot signals without distortion.
