Professional Mixing Features
The Alto Professional Live 1604 is a pro 16-channel, 4-bus mixer equipped with the tools you need to create the perfect mix. With flexible routing options and a multitude of onboard DSP tools, Live 1604 fits the demands of nearly any live performance environment. It features 10 balanced XLR inputs with switchable phantom power, 3-band EQs with sweepable mids for additional tonal shaping, four aux sends per-channel for external effects and monitoring, and a 9-band graphic EQ for main or monitor outputs. A headphone jack with an independent level control enables additional monitoring and mixing. 60mm faders with LED meters provide precise control and visual feedback for accurate, hands-on mixing. With its diverse connectivity options, Live 1604 can handle any sized event from small coffee house gigs to mid-sized ensembles to full-stage rock bands.
Analog Compression & Superior Sound Quality
Live 1604 offers high-fidelity sound and high-quality DSP tools in a single package. Each microphone channel is outfitted with a high-headroom ultra-low-noise DNA™ microphone preamp for unprecedented sound quality and a robust audio signal path. Live 1604’s high headroom results in cleaner mixes, a purer signal path, and loud, punchy audio. Onboard analog compression (channels 1-6) helps control dynamics and gel instruments together for a cohesive, defined mix. With high headroom, pristine sound, and built-in dynamic control, Live 1604 ensures that the full dynamic range of your mix comes across with striking clarity.
USB Audio Interface
Record your mix directly to a Mac or PC with a single USB connection. Live 1604’s built-in USB port allows engineers, producers, and performers to convert two channels of 24-bit audio (Main Mix or Sub Mix 1/2) straight to a computer. Record live performances, band practices, theater performances, speaking events, and any other live sound event onto your computer for additional editing, mixing, and post-production. The USB connection is bi-directional, enabling sound files stored on your computer to be streamed to and played through Live 1604.
100 High-Quality Alesis DSP Effects
Live 1604 comes ready to handle any mixing situation with premium 24-bit Alesis effects built right into its design. Select from 100 DSP effects that give you additional creative control in any mixing environment. Choose from room and space delays, small and large hall acoustics, plate and spring reverbs, flangers, choruses, and more. The effects presets make it easy to dial in your favorite sound or experiment with different effect settings on the fly.
Color-coded Interface
Often, live sound environments are dimly lit and offer poor visibility to the mixing engineer. Live 1604 solves this problem by color coding each section of the mixer and providing brightly colored knobs so you can quickly and easily find what you need to adjust. Blue, green, red, yellow and white pots are instantly easy to identify in low lighting. LED indicators for output level, peak, and phantom power also assist in making sure that you have multiple visual cues that reflect everything you're hearing.

I own a small sound company. I try to keep a variety of gear in my rental stock. I also buy things that I prefer to 7se myself. I do mostly special event type stuff...small corporate events, company picnics, seminars, employee training events, expos, public speaking events, meetings, school graduations, etc... I do a little music related stuff, but not as much as I used to (not much money in it to be honest). I have a few digital mixers... Midas M32, Behringer X-32R (rack model), Behringer Producer (smaller X-32), and a QSC TouchMix... I also have several older larger analog mixers... Peavey, Mackie, Ross, etc... I also have many small format analog mixers, most of which are getting a little older.
Most of the shows I do, are not typically high input counts. So I can usually get by with a smaller console.
I bought the Alto Live 1604 during lockdowns, because it was hard to find the equivalent Mackie mixers at the time. I kept ordering them, and would then get notified of backorder status.
So I finally called my supplier directly...and asked what they actually had in stock, right then, that was similarly spec'd... Alto it was.
It arrived at a time when I was doing a lot of live online content creation for churches, who had pivoted to that sort of thing during the lockdowns. It became my main mixer during that time. It always works great, sounds great, and has great features for its size and price point.
Of all my mixers, this one has hands down provided the best return on investment. It paid for itself withing the first 2 or 3 weeks of owning it.
Its not the most durable mixer in the world. But I take really good care of it. Nobody uses it but me. So its not getting abused like some of my other rental gear does at times. I can send an old Mackie 1604 out on a rental, and generally not worry about it. But the Alto is just slightly less durable. So I baby it...but its great for a lot of different work...even the odd bar band or acoustic act.
Glad to see you back ! love your channel
Thank you very much, I am really looking forward to this.
Thank you for the video, Super informative. I'm just starting out in ministry, and I have an option between SOUNDCRAFT SIGNATURE 16 ANALOG MIXING CONSOLE vs ALTO LIVE 1604 PROFESSIONAL LIVE 16-CHANNEL/4-BUS MIXER.
So, because of the budget, and because we have service inside and we do a lot of open-air church services with a full band and about 6-8 on vocals, we're going to use the same mixer for both inside and outside. I might go for the ALTO LIVE 2404 PROFESSIONAL 24-CHANNEL/4-BUS MIXER since it's not that much more expensive than the 16 channel.
the first three videos on the Live 1604 were invaluable to us as we have the Live 2404. Is there any more to follow please.
I really need more lessons on this mixer
