The Mackie SRM450 version 2 delivers live sound that sounds like it should. With the SRM Series Portable Active Loudspeakers, Mackie include the technology to help you focus completely on your performance instead of being distracted by constant EQ and level tweaks.
Many portable loudspeakers produce lows that lack substance but the SRM450 V2 delivers astonishingly deep and defined bass frequencies, outperforming the original SRM450, which was renowned for its ability to deliver real low-down sound. That's thanks to the SRM450 V2's Servo Feedback technology combined with its all-new neodymium woofer and 3-inch voice coil.
The SRM450 V2 employs reliable protection circuitry, a built-in limiter for less distortion at peak levels, and an automatic sliding high pass filter to give you that little bit extra volume when the crowd demands more. Thanks to the advanced technology of its power supply and Class-D amp topology, the SRM450 V2 is greater than 90 percent efficient, so more of the power from your outlet goes straight to the transducer, without the power supply and amp giving off loads of heat. Less heat means better performance, and longer life.

With its sleek look, upgraded preamps and EQ circuitry, the Mackie 1642-VLZ3 has the same features and functionality of its predecessor, but has even more headroom than the original. The 1642-VLZ3's three unique channel strip formats allow you to input and shape any kind of signal, including mic, line, and stereo instruments.
Vastly Superior XDR2 Mic Preamps - The new XDR2 (Extended Dynamic Range) second-generation mic preamps offer incredibly low noise, with individual mic pre THD below 0.0007 , and overall mixer THD less than 0.0025 . With 60dB of available gain per channel, the 1642-VLZ3 can handle inputs ranging from a whisper to a scream, and can even handle hot line-level signals up to +22db, without any added coloration.
Three Kinds of Channel Strips - Channels 1 8 are essentially the same as those on our 1604-VLZ3, with mono line-level input and our ultra-high-quality XDR2 mic preamps. These VLZ (Very Low Impedance) mic pres offer superior sound quality and the best RFI rejection of any compact mixer on the market. Channels 9/10 and 11/12 (two physical channel strips) each provide a stereo pair of line-level inputs and a mono XDR2 mic preamp. Channels 13/14 and 15/16 (also in two physical channel strips) each provide a stereo pair of line-level inputs only, with fixed 4-band equalization at points that are specifically designed for line-level inputs, such as keyboards, sound modules, etc.
Two Unique Equalization Formats - High-quality equalization is a must for any good mixer and Mackie didn't cut any corners on the 1642-VLZ3. Channels 1-8 feature the same world-renowned 3-band Active equalization that you'll find on the 1604-VLZ3. Tremendous resources went into optimizing the center points of these mic channel equalizers, with the Lows at 80Hz and the Highs at 12kHz. Midrange compensation is handled by a peaking control with a two-octave variable frequency center. This means the Mids can be swept from 100Hz all the way up to 8kHz with a boost or cut of 15dB.
The remaining channels have a fixed 4-band, musically-correct EQ for the remaining channels, which are primarily intended for line-level signals, such as keyboards, sound modules, and drum machines. This all adds up to practical, useful equalization, with the tone-shaping facility to actually improve the musical nature of the original signal.
Professional Features - The Mackie 1642-VLZ3 mixer is packed with premium features on every channel: 75Hz Low-Cut filters, four Aux Sends, inserts, phantom power, constant-loudness Pan controls, OL (overload) and signal present LEDs, sub and main mix assign switches, and assignable AFL/PFL Solo switch. And since you can never have too many output options, we also provided a Control Room/Phones source matrix, Master Aux section with EFX to Monitor, tape outputs, a high-volume headphone amplifier, channels 1-8 direct outs, and balanced XLR and balanced/unbalanced TRS outputs.
Tough Build - All VLZ3 mixers are built tough. The solid-steel chassis uses co-molded pots, which offer substantial strain relief at all critical points. The control knobs ride just above the surface of the chassis, so if something heavy falls onto the mixer, the impact is transferred from the knobs to the steel chassis not to the potentiometers or circuit board. Finally, to eliminate potential circuit board damage, the horizontally mounted fiberglass PC board is braced with a shock-absorbing support structure.
Superior Sound Quality - Above all, the 1642-VLZ3 has superior sound quality, wide dynamic range, tons of headroom and extremely low noise, allowing you to create high-quality professional output.
