Overview

The Mackie 1402VLZ4 is a 14-channel compact analog mixer built around six of Mackie's Onyx mic preamps, which offer an ultra-wide 60dB gain range and extended frequency response for capturing clean, detailed audio from microphones and instruments alike. Each channel features a 3-band EQ with fixed frequency points at 80Hz, 2.5kHz, and 12kHz, two aux sends for monitor or effects routing, and individual level, pan, and PFL solo controls. The 14 high-headroom line inputs support both +4dBu and -10dBV operation, making the mixer equally at home in professional and semi-pro signal environments.

Mackie's "Built-Like-A-Tank" reputation is well represented here, with a rugged steel chassis and powder-coat finish designed to survive the rigors of gigging and transport. This particular bundle sweetens the deal by including four 10-foot TRS cables, four 10-foot XLR cables, two TRS-to-3.5mm adapters, cable ties, and a microfiber cloth — essentially everything needed to connect and start mixing immediately. Whether used as the main mixer for a small live venue, a submixer in a larger setup, or a front-end for a home studio recording chain, the 1402VLZ4 provides reliable, transparent audio performance in a footprint that fits comfortably on a crowded desk or stage.
