Mackie 1202 VLZ4 – compact analog mixer with 12 channels, designed for small studio setups, live rigs and broadcast environments. The VLZ4 architecture with Onyx mic preamps delivers high headroom, low noise and consistent performance across different signal sources.
Compact format with full analog signal path
The mixer features 4 mono channels with Onyx mic preamps (up to 60 dB gain) and 4 stereo channels. Each mono channel includes a 3-band EQ (80 Hz / 2.5 kHz / 12 kHz) and a 75 Hz low-cut filter. Channel inserts (1–4) allow integration with external processors, extending the mixer’s flexibility beyond its size class.
Flexible routing for studio and live use
Two AUX sends (switchable pre/post) and two stereo returns support monitor mixes and external FX routing. Dedicated Control Room section, ALT 3/4 outputs and full signal monitoring make 1202 VLZ4 suitable for hybrid workflows. Fully analog design ensures predictable operation without digital layers.
