Overview

The Mackie Mac-8346 is a soft padded carrying bag built to the exact dimensions of the Mackie 1604 VLZ4, VLZ3, and VLZ Pro series mixing consoles. Rather than forcing you to find a generic bag or case that approximates the right size, this purpose-built option cradles the mixer securely, preventing it from shifting during transport. The padding absorbs everyday bumps and knocks, making it well-suited for musicians, sound engineers, and houses of worship that regularly move their mixer between locations.

Carrying is handled by a combination of a shoulder strap for hands-free transport and interlocking handles for a traditional grip. This flexibility is especially useful when loading in and out of venues alongside other gear. While it does not offer the rigid protection of a flight case, the Mac-8346 fills the gap between carrying your mixer unprotected and investing in a heavier, more expensive hard case — making it an ideal choice for local gigs, rehearsals, and regular transport where convenience matters as much as protection.
