Phew! We've finally recovered from the whirlwind that is NAMM. Now, in a series of new posts, we're filling you in on the products Mackie introduced at the show.

VLZ3 Series compact mixers – Thought the VLZ Pro series couldn’t be improved upon? Well, think again! We’ve made the perfect line of mixers even perfect-er. (And invented a new word to boot. Hey, “truthiness” got word of the year, so maybe we’re on to something. )

So how did we improve our perfect compact mixers? For starters, new studio-grade XDR™2 Extended Dynamic Range mic preamps, more musical EQ and a more ergonomic design. The VLZ 3 line includes the 16-channel 1604-VLZ3 mixer with 16 XDR2 mic preamps, the 16-channel 1642-VLZ3 with 10 XDR2 preamps, the 1402-VLZ3 14-channel mixer with 6 XDR2 mic preamps, and the 12-channel 1202-VLZ3, which has 4 XDR2 mic pres.
