Mackie 1642VLZ4 16-Channel Mixer

The item is not the brand name it claim to be ie Mackie. Instead it is VLZ4. An unknown brand to me.Also it isn t new. As claimedI bought it as a New Mackie 4 chanel mixing desk for £92.It is fraudulent

I liked the sound quality but the fact that it didn't have a single stereo input channel made it a deal breaker for me .I retyrned it for the 802 version which has the same great sound and multiple stereo input channels .it will be the perfect mixer for my DAW setupand with the alt output it can be used to record seperate from the main out. this is ideal for a DAW setup. great buy.

When I buy something from a company they have one chance to get it right. After all, you are paying for their product and expect quality. I made the purchase of this mixer based on my research and user reviews. While I cannot attest to the quality, sound, features, etc. that make it great, I can say that the unit powered up and beyond that simply didn't work. In other words, I never got beyond the green power light coming on. No sound (yes it was hooked up correctly) from the unit. This is an epic fail for Mackie and as such will not give them a second chance. Terrible quality just out of the box.

Well built, great headroom, low noise. Wish the pots had a bit more of a rubberized or textured grip. The smooth eggshell finished hard plastic of the pots is a bit slippery. All steel construction except for curved front panel will take abuse. Took off one star because the power supply socket is not the 3 pin locking socket shown on the Mackie website manual or on the units i've seen reviewed on Youtube. The balanced TRS output jacks are too close together to fit two 1pc XLR adapters. You will need pig tail adapters with slim 1/4" connectors.

This Mixer is built like a tank. Solid steel construction with nice low profile and is easy to use. Only thing that was disappointing was product description mentioned power supply port had screw system however manufacturer is now installing regular connection. Overall I am very happy with this product and recommend .
