Mackie 2404VLZ4 24-Channel 4-Bus FX Mixer

The Mackie 2404VLZ4 is a professional-grade 24-channel analog mixer built around Mackie's acclaimed Onyx mic preamps. These preamps offer an ultra-wide 60dB gain range, 128.5 dB of dynamic range, and distortion figures below 0.0007% across a 20Hz to 50kHz frequency response, delivering studio-quality audio capture whether you are recording vocals, miking a drum kit, or running a live front-of-house mix. With 20 dedicated mic preamps and line input handling up to +22 dBu, the 2404VLZ4 can accommodate large input counts without sacrificing headroom or signal integrity.

Beyond its preamps, the mixer features six aux sends per channel for flexible monitor and effects routing, four mix buses for subgroup management, and a built-in effects processor that covers common studio and live effects. The integrated 4x2 24-bit USB audio interface allows direct connection to a computer for recording or playback, making it a practical hub for project studios that want analog warmth with digital recording convenience. The VLZ4 construction is built to withstand the rigors of touring and daily studio use, continuing Mackie's reputation for durable, road-worthy gear. For engineers and musicians who prefer a tactile, analog mixing workflow with high channel counts, the 2404VLZ4 delivers professional results at a competitive price point.
