I am relatively new to professional audio with my budding voice-over operation and small home recording studio. I read about a variety of mixers. There are many models and most do essentially the same things. What sold me (other than the extensive feature list) was a YouTube video in which Mackie engineers tortured the 802-VLZ3 and several other makes of similar smaller mixers. When the 802-VLZ3 survived being driven over by a Jeep and the others didn't, I was sold. For my home studio, the 802-VLZ3 has plenty of inputs and capabilities. The mike preamp is virtually noise-free. The controls are solid and smooth. The connectors are robust and solid. Everything has a solid feel. It's quality through and through. In the few months that I've used the mixer I have enjoyed trouble-free operation. I have yet to exceed its capabilities and my recordings come out great. This Mackie mixer is a solid performer and a great first mixer for the home recording newbie.

I was looking to upgrade my previous Behringer mixer of 6 years. I did some research and was eye balling a Yamaha usb mixer. I went to my local music store for the Yamaha and none were in stock. Debating whether I should in-store order the Yamaha the sales rep asked me what I was looking for in a mixer and I replied "Better quality than my Behringer" He then told me about Mackie's top notch quality. Now I've been to a couple of professional studios that have Mackie and a recording class I took in College used them, It never occurred to me that I could afford one for my home studio. The Mackie 802-VLZ3 fit within my budget so I bought it, knowing I'd return it if I wasn't satisfied.
I brought it home hooked it up and listened to music 2 hours straight, extremely pleased with the quality and low noise of this unit. Mabye it was the difference from my old mixer that wowed me but it was definitely worth the 2hundred I spent. I highly recommend a great pair of studio quality head phones or monitors to accompany this mixer if you don't have already. It also comes with a free 'Tracktion' recording software.
Now if only they can have usb connectivity for the same price!

Bought this Mackie 802 based upon the recommendation of a musician for use with my portable PA system. It improved the sound coming from my system immediately, made mixing microphone and music playback from laptop computer a high quality production. Very pleased with this mixer. Vocals via microphones are clear and easily balanced - a great tool for portable church work.

A mighty little mixer
The 802-vlz3 is a little more expensive than comparable 8-channel mixers from other brands, but it has cool features that the other brands don't have, like the alt 3/4 bus and... Read more

Solid Mixer but you MUST already know what you want to do
A solid piece of gear that does what it advertises at a great price. However, it's capabilities are only as effective as it's user which means that if this is your first mixer you... Read more

Solid mixer
The mixer is nice and solidly built and seems to work good. I have never
used a mixer before so some of the functions were a little confusing by reading the manual.
