MACKIE 1642 VLZ4

摘要

In the world of corporate audio, AV, and installed sound, we're not concerned with saturated, fat, round tube tone. We leave the artistry and creativity to the studio people. Our concern is getting clean and clear audio so there's no mistake as to what's being heard. We want it undistorted, uncolored, and unimpeded by noise. For this reason, Mackie has been a popular choice. Its VLZ series of mixers, in particular, are known for being quiet and passing along that which was fed into them with very little in the way of undesirable nonlinearities. Mackie has now incorporated its Onyx mic preamplifiers into the VLZ mixer series, contributing even more to the delivery of a clean, clear signal. The new VLZ4 series features a total of eight mixers ranging from four to 32 inputs. I got my hands on a 1642 VLZ4 model and put it through its paces.
