With 60dB of Gain Available Per Channel, the 1642-VLZ3 Handles Inputs Ranging From a Whisper to a Shout—and Can Even Accept Hot Line-Level Signals Up to +22dB Without Additional Coloration. Three Types of Channel Strips—Channels 1–8 Are Essentially Identical to Those on Our 1604-VLZ3, Featuring Mono Line-Level Inputs and Our Ultra-High-Quality XDR2 Microphone Preamps. These VLZ (Very Low Impedance) Mic Preamps Deliver Superior Sound Quality and the Best RFI Rejection of Any Compact Mixer on the Market. Channels 9/10 and 11/12 (Two Physical Channel Strips) Provide a Stereo Pair of Line-Level Inputs Plus a Mono XDR2 Mic Preamp. Channels 13/14 and 15/16 (Also on Two Physical Channel Strips) Each Provide a Stereo Pair of Line-Level Inputs Only, With Fixed 4-Band EQ at Frequencies Specifically Designed for Line-Level Sources Such As Keyboards, Sound Modules, Etc. Two Unique EQ Formats—High-Quality Equalization Is a Must for Any Good Mixer, and Mackie Skimped on No Details in the 1642-VLZ3. Channels 1–8 Feature the Same World-Renowned 3-Band Active EQ Found on the 1604-VLZ3. Tremendous Effort Was Invested in Optimizing the Center Frequencies of These Mic Channel EQs—Bass at 80Hz and Treble at 12kHz. Midrange Compensation Is Handled by a Peak Control With a Two-Octave Variable Center Frequency. This Means Mids Can Be Swept From 100Hz to 8kHz With ±15dB Boost or Cut. The Remaining Channels Feature a Musically Accurate Fixed 4-Band EQ, Designed Primarily for Line-Level Signals Such As Keyboards, Sound Modules, and Electronic Drums. All This Adds Up to Practical, Useful EQ—with the Ease of Tone Shaping to Effectively Enhance the Original Signal’s Musicality. Professional Features—The Mackie 1642-VLZ3 Mixer Is Packed with Premium Features Across All Channels: 75Hz Low-Cut Filters, Four Aux Sends, Inserts, Phantom Power, Constant-Noise-Pan Controls, OL (Overload) and Signal-Present LEDs, Sub- and Main-Mix Assignment Switches, and Assignable AFL/PFL Solo Switches. And Since Output Options Can Never Be Too Many, We Also Provide a Control Room/Phones Source Matrix, Master Aux Section With EFX for Monitoring, Tape Outputs, a High-Power Headphone Amplifier, Direct Outputs on Channels 1–8, and Balanced XLR and TRS Outputs—as Well as Unbalanced Outputs. Robust Construction—All VLZ3 Mixers Are Built Tough. The Solid Steel Chassis Uses Co-Molded Pots, Providing Substantial Stress Relief at All Critical Points. Control Pots Sit Immediately Above the Chassis Surface—So If Something Heavy Falls on the Mixer, Impact Is Transferred from the Pots to the Steel Chassis, Not to the Potentiometers or Circuit Board. Finally, To Eliminate Potential Circuit Board Damage, the Horizontally Mounted Fiberglass PCB Is Supported by a Shock-Absorbing Mounting Frame. Superior Sound Quality—Above All, the 1642-VLZ3 Delivers Superior Sound Quality, an Extended Dynamic Range, Ample Headroom, and Extremely Low Noise—Enabling You to Create High-Quality, Professional Outputs.
