Mackie 1202VLZPRO

A 12-channel mic / line problem solver
Mackie 1202VLZ Pro
If you play, record, mix or listen to music, you need this mixer!


The 1202VLZPRO has recorded symphonies and audiophile acoustic guitar albums, done network television and radio broadcasts, and more. Why? Because it is a Mackie. That means features, reliability, and affordability. And in the case of the 1202VLZPRO, ultra-compact-ability. We call the 1202VLZPRO the "Swiss Army Knife®" of compact mixers because of its many uses. Some people use it as their only mixer in a small studio or multimedia/video post suite. Big name producers and engineers use them for their high quality mic preamps -- they've got the headroom and low noise characteristics of those on very expensive mixing consoles (or as the British call them, "desks"). Quiet enough to record audiophile discs, the 1202VLZPRO makes use of Mackie's VLZ® circuit design, just like all of our compact mixers.

Other features of the 1202VLZPRO include: 3-band EQ, Mute/Alt 3-4 for an extra stereo bus on a 2-bus mixer, low cut filter on mic channels (1-4) for eliminating mic thumps and wind noise from your mix, Control Room/Phones matrix for routing flexibility, balanced inputs and outputs (except headphones, channel inserts, and RCAs), and balanced XLR main outputs. If you're looking for a compact mixer that packs an impressive punch, the 1202VLZPRO is it.
  • 4 high headroom/low noise mic preamps
  • Low cut filter on mic channels (1-4)
  • 3-Band EQ (12kHz, 2.5kHz, 80Hz)
  • Mute/Alt 3-4 for extra stereo bus
  • Control Room/Phones assign matrix
  • Balanced inputs and outputs (except inserts, phones, RCAs)
  • Balanced XLR & 1/4" main outputs
  • VLZ® circuitry for low noise and dynamic programming
  • Built-in power supply
  • An "audio toolbox" for all applications!
