The Mackie 402VLZ4 is an ultra-compact mixer, perfect for open mics or podcasts with just a couple microphones. A pair of Onyx mic preamps give you 60dB of gain, enough for even your lowest-output dynamic microphones, but also enough headroom for your hottest condensers. Sealed rotary controls keep the dust and dirt out, ensuring that the 402VLZ4 will be reliable for years to come.
