    I can't quote specs, but I'm pleased as punch with my Mackie. I hear the reps drop-kick 'em across the room at demos to prove their durability. Can't say I'd want to take the chance myself, but hey, let's enjoy the show.

    Its a good mixer. The preamps are pretty good. Also I like it better than the 1602 as the 1642 has a master control room volume control and stereo input channels that bypass the preamp.

    I've got the 1642. It's a really nice mixer. I had an older 1402 VLZ and I upgraded to the 1642 VLZ Pro. You can really notice the difference of the newer XDR pres. I have had issues with a sticky op-amp that is beginning to annoy me (insert joke here).

    The only thing I wish it supported is the rotopod like the 1602 so you can change your connection layout. That being said, it's a good amount cheaper than the 1602, but obviously at the expense of 6 preamps.
