Mackie is a Proven Leader in Analog Mixers

Beyond sounding great, the Mackie 1202VLZ4 mixer is one piece of gear you can truly rely on. It continues the VLZ Series' trend for rock-solid construction, while taking your sound quality to a new level. You've got an amazingly wide dynamic range, incredible 60dB gain range on the Onyx microphone preamplifiers, and ultra-low-noise performance. The 1202VLZ4 also boasts better-than-ever RF rejection for prime performance in broadcast situations. And with high-resolution meters, generous I/O, and sealed rotary controls that keep out dust and grime, the Mackie 1202VLZ4 is one of Mackie's best mixers ever.

Mackie 1202VLZ4 12-channel Mixer at a Glance:
  • Premium-quality mixer with proven components
  • Sealed rotary controls ensure long-term reliability
  • Incredible sound quality
Premium-quality mixer with proven components

The Mackie 1202VLZ4 is, first and foremost, a Mackie mixer. It houses four of Mackie's premium-quality Onyx mic preamps for natural, transparent sound, and four stereo channels. Its mic/line channels are equipped with a 3-band EQ. Signal routing is easy and flexible. On top of all that, the Mackie 1202VLZ4 is built Mackie-tough - trust this mixer to perform even in the most harrowing situations.

Sealed rotary controls ensure long-term reliability

Sure, the Mackie 1202VLZ4 mixer will shrug off bumps, drops, and outright abuse, but what about spills or rain? Thankfully, the 1202VLZ4 boasts sealed rotary controls that resist grime, dust, and anything else that may spill onto your mixer. We're not saying it's fully waterproof, but it's an extra level of protection you'll eventually be very glad you have when you're running live sound in a hectic environment.

Incredible sound quality

VLZ stands for "very low noise", and that's just part of the appeal of the Mackie 1202VLZ4 mixer. In all you've got a 128.5dB dynamic range, making it easy to achieve full, punchy mixes. The Onyx mic preamps have a 60dB gain range, so you can get the best out of virtually any microphone. And because the 1202VLZ4's line inputs handle +22 dBu signal levels, you can connect high-output sound sources without worrying about distorting your inputs.

Mackie 1202VLZ4 12-channel Mixer Features:
  • Amazingly rugged analog mixer with four microphone preamplifiers and four stereo channels
  • Onyx mic preamps offer up to 60dB of gain for great performance with any mic
  • Ultra-low-noise performance gives you clean, clear sound
  • High-resolution stereo meters give you fast, easy visual indication of your signal levels
  • Sealed rotary controls resist dust and grime

It's hard to beat the sound and performance of the Mackie 1202VLZ4!

VO Over Kill

Bought this because my Audient EVO 8 started making a lot of noise after 2 years and I needed more channels because I also like to play music along with doing VO. I've got 2 mics running out of my booth, guitar amp mic, keyboard direct, drum machine direct, bass direct, and any thing else I want to plug in. Total overkill for input needs but the best thing about this mixer is the mic pre amps. They work better to ears than Audient did plus this mixer was a demo at a good price. Very happy with my purchase.

Pleasantly Surprised

I purchased this mixer for two reasons. Needed to run 2 mics out of my voice over booth and wanted to have the ability to play music when ever inspiration came along. This Mackie takes care of all of the above. Everyone always say they have the best mic preamps for what ever, but I have to say the preamps in this 1202 are pretty dang good. For VO I run a TLM 103 and a Sennheiser 416 and they sound awesome. For music I'm running an old Boss drum machine, keyboards, an EV 320 mic for the guitar amp, an electric acoustic, and a mic for harmonica. So I have plenty of options. Running this mixer into a 1st gen Focusrite 2i2 with my monitors and headphones off the interface. Totally happy with the sound and functions of of this Mackie 1202 VLZ4.

Little board. Big sound

I wanted a very compact mixer with a great sound and the versatility of a large mixing board. This mixer has all of that and more. At only 6 1/2 pounds it is extremely portable and will not get left at home when needed. If you're reading this you already know what the channels do. The sound is absolutely clean with zero noise as far as I can tell. And even for its tiny size it still allows for two auxiliary stereo effects. This board does not have faders but uses knobs to control the levels. I actually like that since the board gets moved a bit the knobs don't get bumped out of position.
My sales rep Christian Baer is always a pleasure to work with. I've ordered many items from Sweetwater over the years and Christian has always made sure the items arrive super fast and packed perfectly!

Versatile mixer

Plenty of inputs and outputs, compact, reasonably priced.

I've been a Mackie products user for over 25 years, in house of worship, live sound settings.

This mixer is a real versatile tool with multiple options for anything I've ever encountered.

And Sweetwater is the place to get it. Customer Service is tops!
