The 1642-VLZ PRO is perfect for applications where more line-level inputs (and fewer mic preamps) are needed. 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.
