Mackie Karaoke Machine

We are using the ZED-16FX as replacements for the Mackie 1642 series of mixers in a mobile DJ/Karaoke enviroment. We basically got tired of ribbon cable problems on the Mackies, and decided to try something new. The unit feels solid out of the box, installed easily, and powered up without a glitch. Only time will tell how rugged they actually are. but at this point I am extremely happy with this mixer.

I love my new Mackie. I run karaoke and have the whole sound setup of powered amp and bulky speakers. I decided to buy the Mackie to do small gigs - home karaoke parties, singing in restaurants or aged peoples homes. This is just the thing. Great sound and plenty of volume when needed. Compact, lightweight and set up in minutes. I love it!

We use it mostly to connect SM58 to Pioneer Karaoke machine and match the impedence. Works great.

I bought my wife a Karaoke machine for Christmas which was two 1/4 microphone inputs on it. I was thinking how cool it would be to have wireless mics so people could hand them off as songs changed, instead of being limited by a cord, and having to swap seats. The WMS40 fit the bill PERFECTLY. I was a little concerned, with the low price, that the quality wouldn't be there, but the system is static free and sounds GREAT! I used balanced 1/4 cables (pulled from patchbay) to connect the microphone base unit to the Karaoke machine. The distance from the singers to the base unit is under 30 feet so I can't speak for the range of the unit.

I needed something fast for a public talk and I have no expertise in AV. This is basically a karaoke machine with 2 mics, super fast set up and was good to go in 5-10 minutes. It is completely adequate for speaking engagements. The speaker is a little larger than I would have liked but it was a good purchase for novices who just need to get up and going asap.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put these in my daughter's karaoke machine and it had provided exceptional life to the electronics!

It's just perfect for what we need. Sound cranks. The microphone makes it an instant karaoke machine. Just great device.

This machine is great! This mixer is a joy to work with, and is easy to use. I have used a mackie vlz3 before. Which to me had top notch audio output. The vlz4 maintains that quality. If not improves upon it. This thing feels like it is built to last. It is a very sturdy machine. All the materials used look and feel high quality. I love the all black finish, and overall color scheme of the knobs. This mixer will not let you down.
