Built Like a Tank and Ready for the Main Stage!

If you're looking for a large-format mixer that's perfect for a mobile rig or an installation with limited space, you're going to love the Mackie 3204-VLZ3 analog mixing console. The 3204-VLZ3 gives you the high channel count you need and the small-footprint frame your situation demands. Even if space isn't an issue, the 3204-VLZ3 has enough remarkable qualities to make it the right choice. The 3204-VLZ3 features impressively low noise and high headroom - as does the entire VLZ3 series - so your shows will sound louder and more dynamic than before. A set of 28 XDR2 mic preamps gives you the kind of robust yet transparent sound you'd expect from a studio mixer - a rare treat for live mixing.



Each of the 3204-VLZ3's 32 channels sports easy-to-use 3-band equalizers and highpass filters. The 3204-VLZ3's four subgroups, as well as channels 25-28, each feature a dedicated compressor, giving you the ability to polish your mix without needing extensive outboard gear. There are also two RMFX+ effects processors built into the 3204-VLZ3, both loaded with 24 effects each, including reverbs, choruses, and delays. Need to record performances? A USB connection makes it easy, allowing you to record from the 3204-VLZ3's main output or subgroups. You can even use auxes 5 and 6 to incorporate your favorite plug-ins - live! And as with all of Mackie's consoles, the 3204-VLZ3 is "Built Like a Tank." So, even if disaster strikes, the show will go on.
