Mackie 802VLZ4

The Mackie 802VLZ4 is an 8-channel mixer – the same idea as the 402, sized up for events with more going on. A mixer is the control box that blends several sources into one clean signal for your speakers, setting the volume of each independently; the 802 gives you three microphone inputs plus stereo music sources, so you can run an officiant’s mic, a handheld for toasts, and background music all at once. It’s the right call for a wedding ceremony, a panel or presentation, or any event juggling a few mics alongside music. Same bulletproof Mackie build and clean preamps, just with more room – if you only need one mic and music, the smaller 402VLZ4 will do the job for less.
