2 RACK MOUNT MIC/LINE MIXER

THE BEST

PRICE-TO-

PERFORMANCE

RATIO EVER

Our CR-1604 16-channel

mic/line mixer has proven

itself to be rugged, versatile

and quiet in a wide range of

applications. It is cur-

rently in use in high-

quality church, school

and commercial installa-

tions, broadcasting studios,

video post suites and large

recording studios. The

CR-1604’s durability has

also made it a favorite of

touring systems and

rental houses.

A COMPLETE,

EXPANDABLE SYSTEM

While the CR-1604’s

overall sound,

specifications

and features

are in themselves outstand-

ing, it is also unique because

it’s part of a six-com-

ponent

system. The

CR-1604 may

be physically configured in

a variety of ways. Ten extra

mic inputs can be added.

Up to three

CR-1604s can

be combined with

no loss of inputs and

full use of combined head-

phone and AUX outputs.

And it can be automated with

full-fader and muting of all

inputs, four AUX returns, ALT

3/4 bus and main outputs.

No other compact mixer

on the market offers this

range of problem-solving

possibilities. Our imitators

are also hard-pressed to

match Mackie’s proven track

record of reliability and

product support.

DURABILITY,

NOT CALLBACKS

The 1604 is a built-like-

a-tank, professional tool

designed for non-stop,

24-hour-a-day professional

duty. In church, school and

business sound systems. In

TV and radio stations and

post-editing suites. Any job

where nothing must ever

go wrong. This isn’t just a

hollow claim. It’s backed

up by how we’ve built this

mixer. For example, the

CR-1604 uses sealed con-

trols rather than open

frame, second-generation
