Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I'm sure I'll have this little gem till the day I open a professional studio and will have to upgrade to a much bigger console. Untill then, its hear to stay!
Sound
The sound is ridiculous!!! Before buying the 802-VLZ3 I was only using a M-Audio 610 interface for my mics and line-ins. Don't get me wrong, the M-Audio pre's are nice and have great sound, but the pre's on the Mackie 802-VLZ3 are HUGE!!! Big sound, lots of headroom, and so sensitive when it comes to mics. I was doing a mic check the other day and faintly heard a train wistle 2 miles away(impressive)!
Features
This compact mixer has everthing the big boys have. Its has too many features and ways to route the sound than I have time to write this review.
Ease of Use
If you have used sound mixers before, you wont have any trouble. If your like me and have piddled with mixers- you'll have to navigate a little and then it becomes old hat.
Quality
It would take a Tamahawk missle to penetrate the solid construction of this mixer.
Value
Great value!
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to use support but, have heard from friends in the industry that it isn't Mackie's strong point.
The Wow Factor
For a mixer, it has a look and feel that showboats over others.
