Mackie 402-VLZ3 Kona Lhi
Posted by Clay Asbury on May 16, 2009 at 5:54 pmI have a mac pro with an Aja Lhi card and Rokit 8 Monitors.
I am looking for a basic, but solid and noiseless mixer.
I don’t need more than 4 inputs.
Is the Mackie 402-VLZ3 a good choice?
My budget is $180.
Open to suggestions.Thanks
Clay

Go to some place like guitar center so you can swop out something if you don’t like it.

Was looking at that mixer too, but went with the Peavey PV6 as I found it for a good price. -

May 18, 2009 at 4:07 pmOn the cheap, Behringer makes the volume go up and down with the best of ’em, but i find the construction of their gear matches the pricetag.
I have a Mackie control surface (control universal pro) and analogue mixer (1202-vlz3) and find the construction quality is unparalleled in their class. They cost a touch more then the Behringer stuff due to the fact they can withstand a bomb-strike and still sound great. I’ve used both and will only use Mackie in my suite.
Don’t have much to say about Pevey. The last piece of gear I had from them was an electric guitar I picked up when I was 13. Haven’t really seen their stuff at all around post-production.
