3204VLZ4

The Mackie 3204VLZ4 is a 32-channel 4-bus analog mixer with onboard effects and USB recording, sized for large worship services, festival stages, theater pits and touring bands with long input lists. Twenty-eight Onyx mic preamps deliver a 60 dB gain range, 128.5 dB dynamic range, +21 dBu input handling and distortion under 0.0007%, so every mic on a busy stage sits clean and loud. Phantom power covers condensers and improved RF rejection keeps wireless hash off broadcast feeds.

Channels 25 through 28 include dedicated inline compression for lead vocals and other critical sources, and each of the four subgroups has its own inline compressor for drum bus and band control. Mono channels use 3-band EQ with a sweepable midrange and an 18 dB/oct 100 Hz low-cut filter; stereo channels use 4-band EQ. Six aux sends with inserts and pre/post fader switching feed monitors and effects, and 28 line inputs carry dedicated inserts for outboard gear.

Dual 32-bit RMFX+ processors provide 24 gig-ready reverbs, choruses and tap delay. The integrated 4x2 24-bit USB interface streams subgroups or the main mix to a Mac or PC for multitrack capture, runs plug-ins live via auxes 5 and 6, and returns stereo playback to the mains. PFL/AFL solo, 60 mm log-taper faders, 12-segment stereo meters and high-contrast controls keep the surface readable in a dark room. The steel chassis weighs 39.0 lb and the universal supply works on any grid.
