Mackie 1604-VLZ Manuel D’Utilisation

 is the latest update of our 

CR1604-VLZ, incorporating 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. 

Like all Mackie mixers, the 1604-VLZ PRO is 

designed for rugged, 24-hour-a-day use. It is a 
supremely fl exible mixer, not just because of its mul-
tiple input/output confi gurations, but because of its 
true 4-bus architecture, 6 aux sends (with 3-4/5-6 shift 
switch), and extensive routing capabilities.

No matter what the application, the 1604-VLZ 

PRO can be confi gured for optimal use. As a table-
top mixer, input/output jacks can be positioned at 
the rear of the unit, or with the optional RotoPod Kit 
(RP1604-VLZ), positioned on the same plane as the 
controls. Placed in a rack system, the 1604-VLZ PRO 
can be set so that jacks are facing front (using the 
RotoPod kit) or facing the rear to keep wandering 
hands from playing with cords. Whether used in a 
permanent installation, or as a portable mixer, the 
1604-VLZ PRO is completely at home.

Built like a tank, the 1604-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-hole-plated fi berglass 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
