The VLZ3 4•Bus takes the world-renowned Mackie 4•Bus

Series mixers to a whole new level, inluding the addition of

improved XDR2™ mic preamps, a redesigned mix bus, and

optimized active EQ on every channel. Additionally, USB

Recording and Playback, onboard dual RMFX+™ engines

and eight individual compressors come standard on every

VLZ3 4•Bus mixer.

The 2404-VLZ3 is equipped with 20 mono mic/line channels

while the 3204-VLZ3 comes standard with 28 mono mic/line

channels. Both mixers have two stereo channels with 4-band

equalization, four group outputs and inserts, and XLR and

TRS stereo and mono main outputs and inserts.

Each mono channel has an input Gain control with 60 dB of

gain, a sharp 18 dB/octave, 100 Hz Low Cut filter, a 3-band

EQ with sweepable mid, six Aux Sends, Pan, Mute, Solo,

assign switches, a 60mm fader and a Channel Insert jack for

each channel for selecting pre- or post-fader send, whereas

Aux Sends 5-6 are a fixed post-fader send, perfect for effects

loops. Auxes 1-6 have a master level control and all six

Auxes are post-EQ. There are four stereo returns with various
