Mackie 802VLZ4 8-Channel Ultra Compact Mixer

Loaded with 3 Mackie Onyx preamps and 8 high-headroom/low-noise line inputs, the 802VLZ4 delivers clear, crisp audio reproduction in a versatile, reliable, and portable package.

The 802VLZ4 is a great board for budget and home studios. All 8 channels are fitted with a 3-band equalizer (EQ) for enhancing signals or correcting problems. You get one full-featured auxiliary send per channel that can be used for creating a separate headphone mix. There are also two balanced channel inserts so you can connect your favorite compressors, gates or effects units. Another studio friendly feature is the control room source matrix that lets you choose to listen to any of three different sources through the console's control room stereo outputs. Channels 1-3 have phantom power so you can use condenser microphones, while Low-cut filters on those channels help reduce low-frequency noise the more sensitive condensers often pick up.

With a rugged steel chassis built to handle load-ins and load-outs, the 802VLZ4 also shines in a live setting. Sealed rotary controls make sure the unavoidable dirt, dust, and road grime won't affect the console. So whether for the studio, live performance or both, the Mackie 802VLZ4 is a solid choice.
