Plug either a powered monitor or amp and then speaker into one of the aux sends. Now adjust the monitor mix using the appropriate aux send pot on each of the channel strips you want to send to the monitor. Think of the aux send pots as faders for the monitor mix the same as the main fader for the ain mix.

SOURCE: hook up audio ut to audio in from mixer to computer

You just need a USB audio interface ... the outputs from your mixer are analog, which will plug into the right/left inputs on the audio interface ... and the audio interface connects to the computer via USB ... this is a very common way to do it ...

There are a lot of devices out there ... I'm using a Tapco Link.USB audio interface ... not too expensive ... you don't need anything fancy ...

Once you get the USB audio interface (by the way, if you are using a Mac you probably do not need to install any software for it) then you want to make sure your audio inputs are set to use it ... there are two ways to do this .. first way is right in the Cooledit software, if there is a place to tell the software what the input audio device is ... if this is not possible then change your systems general audio settings to select the USB audio interface for sound input.

That's it!

SOURCE: MAckie 1604 VLZ Pro Mixer,

The best way is to use a two-way crossover between the mixer and the amplifiers. In your case, the low output from teh crossover would go to the powered subs, the highs to the QSC. Use the crossover adjustment to set the frequency crossover point to get the sound quality you require.

Mackie 16.4.2.vlz pro. All the channel overload lights come on as soon as power is applied. Changing control/switch positions has no effect.

You probably have issues with caps in the power supply....I would check that first...open it up and look for buldging caps and replace any that you find....

Mackie SR24.4 VLZ pro.. The light lamp stopped working, bought a new one, still doesn't work. WHY

It's probably not getting power to the lamp connector. Get a voltmeter and check it.

I am trying to run a monitor using the Aux Send on a Mackie Board but even with the Master Aux Send turned up there is barely any sound coming out when I try to use my microphones. Also, I noticed that...

No there is no special cord. The aux you use for a monitor should be pre fader( that means the signal comes before the volume slider) turn the individual slider all the way down. Talk into the mike at the volume you would be singing at the loudest. Adjust the gain of that chanel up untill the clip light comes on. Now back it down so it dosent come on at your loudest. Now pick the aux you want to use. Turn it up 1/2 way, turn up the master aux send coresponding to the channel aux number 1/2 way you should get sound. If it's too loud turn it down if you need more turn it up. If you have any more questions, give me a call at the shop.

How can I hook up my ipod to the Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO? I'm not sure which control buttons, knobs or slides to use to to make it play. I plugged it into the "tape in (RCA)" jacks. I need help with the...

Easiest is to use a 1/8 inch stereo to 1/4 inch splitter cable (1/4 mono's) and plug into the tape input. Then use the tape level knob.

IF you want to use sliders, then plug the spliter 1/4 inch plugs into two channels and set the PAN controls for these to opposite ends and then you have to adjust two sliders to control the gain.

I need a part. a fader for a SR24?4?2 VLZ PRO.

Removing all the knobs from a section of the board where the bad fader is can be a hassle.and sometimes some of the nuts from jack or screws from some connectors.

You are probably better to order the part from Mackie to get the exact part. Most are made by ALPS and I get ones for some equipment from DigiKey.com or Mouser.com. However, it does take a bot o knowledge to get the correct part and sometimes requires cutting the shaft of one that is too long.
One MUST match the mounting holes, resistance value, length of throw AND the "taper". Yours will probably be a standard "Audio taper" for the main output.

Hello, Effects and EQ hook up problem

Many of those connections REQUIRE using TRS cables (stereo style) rather than TS cables (mono style). It is possible you have mixed the cables if it worked before.

Any cable plugged into an "insert" should be a TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) cable.

Look up these connections in your 1604 manual.

You may be getting a small amount of cross-talk. How high are the gain settings and sliders when this occurs? Also, can you describe the overall setup that you are using? I'll check the prints, but you should not be getting any volume unless the gains are maxed.
