Mackie 3204-VLZ3 32-Channel 4-Bus Mixing Console with Effects and USB
The 3204-VLZ3 from Mackie is a professional 32-channel mixing console that combines high-quality audio, superior processing, and excellent versatility into a lightweight and compact form. The mixer features 28 studio-grade XDR2 mic preamps that offer wide dynamic range and low distortion. They also provide phantom power for use with condenser microphones. The mixer also offers 4 subgroups, which have dedicated compressors for full dynamic control. Dedicated inline channel compression is provided for the critical inputs.
A 3-band active EQ lets you adjust tone quickly and easily, while dual 32-bit RMFX+ processors deliver 24 professional reverbs, choruses, and delays for adding depth to your audio, ideal for live applications. An integrated 4x2 24-bit USB interface lets you connect to a Mac or PC to stream master or subgroup audio, use your favorite plug-ins, or create a convenient stereo return. There are also 6 aux sends with inserts, pre and post fader options, and internal/external FX send options for additional flexibility. A 100Hz low cut filter allows you to reduce low frequency rumble and hum.
The mixer is built for a long life of professional use with an all-steel classic chassis and 60mm long-wearing logarithmic-taper faders. The mixer is lightweight and portable, perfect for use on live tours and other gigs. It even includes Tracktion 3 music production software for Mac and PC so you can take advantage of all of the mixer's features right out of the box.

Comments about Mackie 3204-VLZ3 32-Channel 4-Bus Mixing Console with Effects and USB:
I Use the Product in my Recording Studio as a Recording Interface and Sometimes on Live Events..What's Really Amazing About it Other Than its Amazing Performance, is its Light Weight..I Can Nearly Carry it Whenever and Wherever I'm Going..The Only NOT Very Big Problem About it is That its Only a 4x2..Which Means You Get 4 Channels Into Your DAW and 2 Channels Back From Your DAW for Monitoring.But Any of the Channels Can be Routed to Sub Groups and Then Sent to Your Recording Software to Be Recorded via the USB Connection :D
