At Mackie, we know what it takes to make roadworthy gear. After all, our mixers have traveled all over the world under the worst of conditions. We’ve applied these experiences to the mechanical design of the 24•4-VLZ PRO and 32•4-VLZ PRO mixers.

Live sound only? No way! Although both mixers are aimed primarily at sound reinforce- ment, they have features such as 4-buss, metering and control room circuitry, that make them serve easily as recording or mixing con- soles.
