Mackie 1202VLZ4 12-Channel Compact Analog Mixer

The 1202VLZ4 is a longtime favorite for small bands, houses of worship, and podcast desks that need real preamps without a large footprint. Four Onyx mic preamps deliver up to 60 dB of clean gain, and a three-band EQ at 80 Hz, 2.5 kHz, and 12 kHz keeps every channel under control.

Two aux sends per channel handle a monitor feed and an effects loop at the same time, and switchable phantom power runs condenser mics. The sealed rotary pots and rugged steel chassis are built for years of gigging, and the compact layout keeps the whole mix within easy reach.
