Mackie 1642 VLZ3   With its sleek look, upgraded preamps and EQ circuitry, the Mackie  1642-VLZ3 redefines perfection.   With the same features and functionality of its predecessor, the  re-engineered Mackie 1642-VLZ3 has even greater headroom than the  original. We could have stopped right then and there, but since we’re  obsessed with perfection, we redesigned the Mix Bus and made significant  enhancements to the EQs, giving the 1642-VLZ3 a more intuitive and  musical feel.   The 1642-VLZ3’s three unique channel strip formats allow you to input and  shape any kind of signal, including mic, line, and stereo instruments.  Whether you need a live mixing board for club work, or a full-featured  workhorse for home and studio recording, you owe it to yourself to check  out the new Mackie 1642-VLZ3. You’ll think it’s perfect, too.   Our new XDR2 (Extended Dynamic Range) second-generation mic preamps are  better than ever. They offer incredibly low noise, with individual mic  pre THD below 0.0007%, and overall mixer THD less than 0.0025%. With 60dB  of available gain per channel, the 1642-VLZ3 can handle inputs ranging  from a whisper to a scream, and can even handle hot line-level signals up  to +22db, without any added coloration. You simply won’t find preamps  this good on any other mixer in this price range.   High-quality equalization is a must for any good mixer, that's why we  didn't cut any corners on the Mackie 1642-VLZ3. Channels 1-8 feature the  same world-renowned 3-band Active equalization that you'll find on the  1604-VLZ3. Tremendous resources went into optimizing the center points of  these mic channel equalizers, with the Lows at 80Hz and the Highs at  12kHz. Midrange compensation is handled by a peaking control with a  two-octave variable frequency center. This means the Mids can be swept  from 100Hz all the way up to 8kHz—with a boost or cut of 15dB.   We designed a fixed 4-band, “musically-correct” EQ for the remaining  channels, which are primarily intended for line-level signals, such as  keyboards, sound modules, and drum machines. This all adds up to  practical, useful equalization, with the tone-shaping facility to  actually improve the musical nature of the original signal.   The Mackie 1642-VLZ3 mixer is packed with premium features on every  channel: 75Hz Low-Cut filters, four Aux Sends, inserts, phantom power,  constant-loudness Pan controls, OL (overload) and signal present LEDs,  sub and main mix assign switches, and assignable AFL/PFL Solo switch. And  since you can never have too many output options, we also provided a  Control Room/Phones source matrix, Master Aux section with EFX to  Monitor, tape outputs, a high-volume headphone amplifier, channels 1-8  direct outs, and balanced XLR and balanced/unbalanced TRS outputs.   All VLZ3 mixers are built tough. Our legendary solid-steel chassis can  take the kind of abuse that would turn our competitors' flimsy boxes into  so much scrap. And instead of cheap, unsealed potentiometers, we use  co-molded pots, which offer substantial strain relief at all critical  points. By design, our control knobs “ride” just above the surface of the  chassis, so if something heavy falls onto the mixer, the impact is  transferred from the knobs to the steel chassis—not to the potentiometers  or circuit board. Finally, to eliminate potential circuit board damage,  we use a thick, horizontally mounted fiberglass PC board, braced with a  shock-absorbing support structure. Nobody builds ’em tougher than Mackie!   Above all, the Mackie 1642-VLZ3 has superior sound quality, wide dynamic  range, tons of headroom and extremely low noise, allowing you to create  high-quality professional output. Whether you're tracking in the project  studio or laying down the truth in front of a live audience, you can  always count on the Mackie 1642-VLZ3 to provide superb sound quality and  extreme versatility.
