2404VLZ4 24-Channel 4-Bus FX Mixer With USB

The Mackie 2404VLZ4 is a 24-channel, 4-bus mixer built for engineers who need real channel count along with onboard effects and a direct line into a computer. Twenty Onyx mic preamps carry a 60dB gain range and 128.5 dB of dynamic range across every input, and dedicated inline compression on channels 17 through 20 keeps the loudest sources, like drums or bass, from clipping the mix. Four subgroups with their own inline compressors, six aux sends, and a 3-band EQ with sweepable midrange give a mixing engineer enough routing to handle a full band plus monitor mixes without running out of options.

Two internal 32-bit RMFX+ processors add 24 reverb, chorus, and delay presets directly on the board, so a live engineer does not need outboard effects units for a typical show. The built-in 24-bit USB interface streams subgroups or the main mix straight to a computer for recording, or brings a stereo return in for playback music between sets.

Housed in a steel chassis with a powder-coat finish and rated at 31 lb, the 2404VLZ4 is built to survive repeated load-in and load-out. It suits house of worship installs, bar and club systems, and touring bands that need a compact board with effects and recording built in rather than added on.
