Mackie 1642-VLZ Pro Spec Sheet - Page 1

Introduction The 1642-VLZ PRO is perfect for applications where more line-level inputs (and fewer mic preamps) are needed. Channels 1-8 are essentially the same as our 1604-VLZ PRO with mono line-level input and 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. Channels 9/10 and 11/12 (two physical channel strips) each have a stereo pair of line-level inputs and a mono XDR™ mic preamp. Channels 13/14 and 15/16 (also in two physical channel strips) each have a stereo pair of line-level inputs only with fixed four-band equalization at points that are especially beneficial to line-level inputs such as keyboards. Like all of Mackie Designs' mixers, the 1642-VLZ PRO is designed for rugged, 24-hour-a-day use. It is a supremely flexible mixer, not just because of its multiple input/output configurations, but because of its true 4-bus architecture, 4 aux sends, and extensive routing capabilities. Built like a tank, the 1642-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-holeplated fiberglass 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 at regular intervals to mount thick fiberglass circuit boards inside the mixer.
