Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain

Perfect for a small amount of inputs and outputs. Mackie mixers are rugged and they sound great. The Mackie 402-VLZ3 is perfect for your desktop music or video system, or for the live musician who does not need a massive mixer. You can't go wrong with this little guy.

Good mixer,Great price

I use my 402-vlz3 as an interface for emu soundcard in computer.
I have to say that mixer is quiet. preamps are warm, and live up to the claim "studio grade" as mentioned in product description. great mixer for the price. i like the on/off switch also.

A small wonder of a mixer

I bought this mixer as a signal splitter to run audio from my Zoom 8HD to both my secondary monitors & my cd burner & the preservation of the audio signal is remarkable for a mixer of this size!

This tiny wonder has all of the build quality of it's bigger brothers & the level of fidelity for a mixer of this size & price point is staggering!

In my opinion,Mackie reigns supreme amongst all value-priced mixers in this range,due to the level of quality & features....Mackie is a trusted name without question,& that's a beautiful thing!

Long overdue equipment

This piece is a near perfect addition to my gear closet. The pre-amps
make all my active and passive instruments a perfect match for recording.
The only improvement, would have been some insert point for effects,
for live performance. Overall, a very efficient piece of equipt.

one little detail

Been using small Mckie mixers for years. This little one could solve some gig problems. Only one problem.... no insert or loop for effects or outboard gear. Can't imagine anyone wanting their vocals totally dry. Or for my use as a submixer,adding compression or more detailed EQ. With this corrected I would grab one without hesitation.

Our Customers Say...

“I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!”
