Mackie 1402VLZ4 14-Channel Compact Mixer

The Master of Compact Analogue Mixers

Now featuring Mackie's flagship Onyx mic preamps, the comprehensive Mackie VLZ4 line delivers the proven feature set, high-headroom/low-noise design and "Built-Like-A-Tank" construction that created an industry more than 25 years ago.

From every input to every output, VLZ4 is optimized to deliver professional-quality results each and every time.

Incomparable Sound Quality

VLZ (standing for very low noise) mixers are designed to deliver the best quality audio no matter the application you choose to use it for, with 128.5 dB dynamic range. 60 dB gain-range delivers the best quality sound from virtually any microphone. With +22 dBu signal levels, you can be reassured connecting high-output sources without distorting your inputs.

High Headroom & Low Noise

Strict attention to component quality has led to innovations like the custom M80 op-amps and class-leading negative summing bus architecture
