Mackie 3204-VLZ4

A VLZ4 Continuing a Line of Consoles That Have Become a Reference

The VLZ4 series is part of a lineage of consoles recognized for nearly 25 years for their reliability and musicality. The idea is simple: to offer a versatile mixing desk capable of transitioning from a home studio to a live performance without changing your habits or level of demand. With the integration of the famous ONYX mic preamps and a design focused on robustness, this 3204 VLZ4 aims for a clean, stable, and consistent result, with a "broadcast quality" approach designed for professional applications.

For Which Uses and Which Musicians?

With its large number of inputs and routing possibilities, the 3204 VLZ4 is aimed at bands, sound engineers, associations, rehearsal studios, places of worship, event providers, and home-studiers who want to centralize a complete setup. It is particularly suitable for multi-mic configurations (drums, brass, choirs), stages with multiple monitors, or recordings where headroom and excellent intelligibility must be maintained. In the studio, it becomes a practical hub for recording sources, managing headphone mixes, and preparing quick working mixes.
