ou can consider our
CR1604-VLZ an update of
our classic CR-1604, but
there is so much about it
that is new or improved, it’s
more of a reincarnation.
Like all of Mackie Designs’
mixers, the CR1604-VLZ is
designed for rugged, 24-
hours-a-day use. It is a
supremely flexible mixer,
not just because of its mul-
tiple input/output configu-
rations, but because of its
true 4-bus architecture, 6
aux sends, and extensive
routing capabilities. 16
high-headroom, low-noise
mic preamps make vocals
come through loud and
clear, and a low cut filter
on each channel keeps
unwanted low frequencies
from being reproduced.
Completely configurable.
No matter what the appli-
cation, the CR1604-VLZ can
be configured for optimal
use. As a tabletop mixer,
input/output jacks can be
positioned at the rear of the
unit, or with the optional
RotoPod-VLZ, positioned
on the same
plane as the
controls.
Placed in a
rack system,
the CR1604-
VLZ can be set
so that jacks are
facing front or fac-
ing the rear, keeping
wandering hands
from playing with
cords. Whether used in a
permanent installation, or
as a portable mixer, the
CR1604-VLZ is completely
at home.
Durable and reliable.
Built like a tank, the
CR1604-VLZ is a team
player that can stand up
to vigorous use, day in and
day out, any place it is in-
stalled. Its sturdy-yet-light
steel monocoque con-
struction houses rugged,
double-sided through-hole-
plated fiberglass circuit
boards, and 60mm faders
with ultra-tight lip seals for
keeping out dust and other
contaminants.
Impact-resistant knobs
are mounted so they “ride”
just above the steel chassis
– they absorb impact without
trouble. They’re designed to
last, too, thanks to co-
molded potentiometers
that don’t get brittle and
crack up. Then, we use
metal stand-offs at regular
intervals to mount thick
fiberglass circuit boards
inside the CR1604-VLZ.
