Mackie VLZ 1604 mixer, some outboard bits and microphones FS

IanSavage · October 2015

Breaking down my live sound rig in preparation for a move abroad in the New Year - shall get pictures of the actual units later / tomorrow but thought I'd get 'em up here while I was online with time to kill!

Mackie VLZ 1604 analogue mixer, 16 mic channels with inserts, 'four-plus-two' aux sends, swept-mid EQ, really good mic preamps; these have been pretty much ubiquitous in small-to-medium venues since they were launched and there's a reason! Complete with rack ears, in good condition, SoS review here: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep99/articles/mackie1604.htm £150

Behringer Multicom Pro four-channel compressor; very good partner for the Mackie so if you buy both I'll throw you in the Klotz insert leads I've been using to connect them! Handy compressor with just enough controls to be fully-flexible but not so many as to be unintuitive, and who doesn't want a bank of flashing LEDs in their rack? http://en.audiofanzine.com/studio-compressor/behringer/multicom-pro-xl-mdx4600/medias/pictures/a.play,m.892072.html £40

Behringer FBQ1000 Feedback Destroyer Pro - practically brand-new in the box (bought for one gig where I HAD to have fully-parametric EQ available), hence in excellent condition. Use it to 'ring out' your PA system for greater volume-before-feedback, leave the filters 'roaming' to nail any ringing as it happens or just use it as a parametric EQ to tune your PA. Again, buy it with the desk and I'll throw in the insert leads... http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipment/behringer-feedback-destroyer-fbq1000--82422?gclid=CO7dwZSx1sgCFSnkwgodRZYFOw £60

Also got the stash of microphones I've built up for recording drums and acoustics which I'll probably be able to do without; featuring slightly-used-but-good-nick SE Electronics SE1a (with an omni capsule as well as the standard caridoid, £50), SE2a (with omni, hyper and cardioid capsules, £70), AKG C418 clip-on condenser (£70) and a brand-spanking-new-in-box SE Electonics X1 kick drum condenser (£45). Call it a set for £275 and I'll include a waterproof SKB 3i 'Peli-case' type thing (http://casemarket.co.uk/skb-3i-0907-6b---3i-series-waterproof-case-829-p.asp?gclid=CJLsscuz1sgCFcafGwodwI8AfA) which fits them all perfectly and two pairs of the Auralex 'Platfeet' (http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/recording/acoustics-sound-proof/53856-auralex-platfeet-mic-isolation-blocks/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=base&gclid=CPfAqf6y1sgCFRITGwodGe4B8w) which serve to both isolate your overhead mic stands and cuddle the SE small-diaphragm condensers for transit perfectly
