Let's summarize what Mackie 1402-VLZ3 Mixer could do for you - it'll make you appreciate that analog control still lives in mixers and its a small package that packs a good punch when you want a mixer that could do most tasks put up by a sound mixer.

The Mackie 1402-VLZ3 Mixer will immediately impress you with its smart layout of its functions. Compared to other mixers that offers the same 14-channel mixer, it's considerably smaller. The jacks are placed in one area and grouped together instead of lining them up somewhere in the side area of the mixer. It's a little wider though but that only adds up to the beauty of the layout of the mixer. The feel of every knob is good enough to make you exert a small effort so that you can pinpoint the actual effect for the mixer.

But remember, not all mixers of Mackie 1402 have this feature as they could sometimes become harder to turn. The mixer even has a detent function so that you can place every knob in default function so that everything could go back to its original configuration. The plugs for mic and line out are also easy to work with.

Mackie 1402-VLZ3 Mixer "can't be a Mackie" if it doesn't provide a good sound experience. The line-out sound can be easily controlled. The microphone input is also worth noting as this transmits the original sound with few tweaking. This might be the small inconvenience for this mixer as this doesn't provide a good amount of variation for voicing. But you still have mixing capacity which could still be used as a workaround for that microphone limitation.
