Mackie 3204VLZ4 32-Channel 4-Bus Analog Mixer

The Mackie 3204VLZ4 is a 32-channel, 4-bus analog mixer built for environments where high channel counts, clean gain, and reliable performance are non-negotiable. At its core are 28 Onyx mic preamps — the same preamp design Mackie developed for their studio-focused interfaces — delivering wide dynamic range and low noise that keeps your signal chain clean from input to output. The mixer's high-headroom, low-noise circuit design is a hallmark of Mackie's VLZ4 series, and the improved RF rejection on this model makes it particularly well-suited for broadcast studios or venues where wireless interference is a concern.

The routing flexibility is substantial: four mix buses, six aux sends per channel, and dedicated inline compression on channels 25 through 28 give you the tools to manage complex mixes for live sound, studio tracking, or broadcast workflows. The built-in 4x2 24-bit USB audio interface lets you capture a stereo or multi-bus mix directly to a DAW without adding an external interface to your signal chain. Phantom power is available across the mic channels for condenser microphones, and the overall build quality follows Mackie's reputation for road-worthy construction. This is a large-format analog console aimed at professionals who need the channel count and routing depth that smaller digital mixers cannot easily match.
