Analog Mixer from Mackie belonging to the VLZ Pro series

Analog mixer rack (Rotopod sold separately).

A lamp 12v

A true Swiss Army knife:
16 x MIC and LINE input + Insert and Pre-Amp on each slice, 16 tracks in all.
6 Aux Send, 8 AUX Return (independent of Send)
8 Direct Out, 4 sub outs; Control room + Phone, + Sub Main, Main insert
The top is the adjustable sub output that renders a true Mono Main. Pity that the volume pot is on the rear face. Otherwise everything is artfully arranged.

UTILIZATION


And simple but useful manual in English, good luck.
The download in French if doubts:

Once you understand the table, read manual Entirely, archie is simple.
Always have the mimic head to optimize its use.

On the forums, I read a lot of problem of breath.
I'm not, I certainly raise the chance. Specifies that I want is a second hand.



SOUNDS

Personally I find it transparent but I mainly use the Hardware typ Hip-Hop.
Practical and effective for patching.

Pre-Amp button on each slice is used as a convenience.
Good Eq. A 75Hz low cut on each slice.



OVERALL OPINION

Plus, it is unquestionably the internal routing which facilitates its use.

I use not Pre-Amps. So I give no opinion deu.

No breath, I use the Aux Send & Return, virtually all 3 types of connections on the 16 channels and above the 8 Direct Out for my MPC 3000 + DAT CAR and my turntables.
I find it flexible and effective.

It is very compact for 16 channels and well rested.

The sliders race is a little short at first glance, but their precision blades that default.

Ing a sound I had advised seen my config (6 + MPC samplers at least), I bought aprsrflexion.
I'm not.

I would advise buying but you really test everything because other forums and leave a review srieux doubt.
