3204VLZ4 32-Channel 4-Bus FX Mixer With USB

The Mackie 3204VLZ4 is a 32-channel, 4-bus mixer for engineers running larger bands or full production setups who need channel count without giving up onboard effects or a computer connection. Twenty-eight Onyx mic preamps carry a 60dB gain range and 128.5 dB of dynamic range across every input, and dedicated inline compression on channels 25 through 28 keeps the loudest sources from overwhelming the mix. Four subgroups with their own inline compressors, six aux sends, and a 3-band EQ with sweepable midrange give an engineer enough routing for a full band plus separate monitor mixes.

Two internal 32-bit RMFX+ processors add 24 reverb, chorus, and delay presets directly on the board, cutting the need for outboard effects units at 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 between sets.

At 39 lb and housed in a steel chassis with a powder-coat finish, the 3204VLZ4 is built for repeated load-in and load-out. It fits touring bands, larger houses of worship, and venues that need a 32-channel board with effects and USB recording built in rather than added on afterward.
