That combination is why it keeps turning up in broadcast racks, home and professional studios, utility mixing setups and complex synth rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSixteen Onyx preamps, not a mixed bag\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll 16 mic inputs use the same discrete Onyx preamp design with a 60dB gain range, so a quiet ribbon on channel 14 gets exactly the same treatment as the kick mic on channel 1. Published figures are 128.5 dB of dynamic range, +22 dBu line input handling and distortion under 0.0007% across 20Hz to 50kHz. Phantom power is on hand for condenser mics, and the improved RF rejection is a real consideration if you are working near transmitters in a broadcast environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShaping and routing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-band EQ with a sweepable midrange, so you can hunt down a resonance rather than guess at a fixed frequency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 dB\/oct 75Hz low-cut filter on the mic channels to clear stage rumble and handling noise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 aux sends for monitor wedges and effects, with 4 stereo returns coming back in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 group and bus outputs plus 8 direct outs for feeding a recorder or interface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 balanced inserts for compressors and gates on individual channels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl room and phones source matrix for solo checking and cue feeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for the road and the rack\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chassis is rugged powder-coated steel, the rotary controls are sealed against dust and grime, and the 60mm faders use a long-wearing log taper. Metering is a 12-segment stereo pair, which is enough resolution to set gain structure properly rather than just watching for red. If you need it in a rack, an optional rack ear kit handles that, and the Rotopod accessory (sold separately) gives three physical configurations for desk, rack or angled use. The multi-voltage power supply means it travels without fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mackie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101078102272,"sku":"1604VLZ4","price":1360.78,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/mackie-1604vlz4-01.jpg?v=1785431640","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/mackie-1604vlz4-16-channel-4-bus-compact-analog-mixer-with-onyx-mic-preamps","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
