Feature:
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.

Quality:
It would take a Tamahawk missle to penetrate the solid construction of this mixer.

Value:
Great value!

Desirability:
For a mixer, it has a look and feel that showboats over others.

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)!

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.

Support:
Haven't had to use support but, have heard from friends in the industry that it isn't Mackie's strong point.

Overall:
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!

Feature:
LIKE UP TOP THE "3-BAND EQ" FEATURE, REAL USEFUL! N SAVES U TIME FROM STARIN AT A DAMN SCREEN FOR HELLA LONG! THE "VOLUME CONTROLS"- I CAN TURN DOWN MY HEADPHONES N TURN UP THA MONITERS A JUS A LIL FOR MORE BASS REPONSE AND THE "PHANTOM POWER BUTTON" TURN OFF WHEN READY TO MIX, NO MORE HAVIN TO TURN OFF MY MONITERS WHEN TRYING TO RECORD AND TURN BACK ON WHEN DONE!

Quality:
TOP QUALITY! LOW NOISE, CRISP, STURDY, SEALED SO DAT NO DUST GETS IN

Value:
put it dis way "your gain! ther loss!"

Desirability:
2 DAMN SEXY. AMERICAS NEXT TOP-MIXER! HAHA

Sound:
THE SOUND IS CRISP/CRYSTAL CLEAR!! IF U DAT SIZZLE DEN JUST CRANK UP THA HI-FRE KNOB, IF U WANNA SOUND NATURAL JUS TWIST THA MID-FRE KNOB, PERSONALLY I DONT BOOST UP THA LOW 2 MUCH BUT IT IS A GOOD USEFUL FEATURE TO HAVE(USUALLY KEEP IT A LIL UNDER THA "U")

Ease of Use:
"JUST AT 1ST" tha ease of use isnt to much of the mixers fault but i found out i couldnt just plug in and use, i had to figure out how to connect it to my interface becuz PROTOOLS still needs a m-audio device connected in order to record.. other then dat after i figured out its "EASY"! THE MANUAL PRETTY MUCH EXPLAINS EVERYTHING AND WIT DETAIL..

Support:
dont know yet, (PERFECT)

Overall:
SATISFIED AND MOR DEN HAPPY I COPPED IT! (MAD THAT IT TOOK ME TILL NOW CUZ I "LITERALLY" BEEN MISSIN OUT!!)
