For the record, Mackie loves the following:

• Awards
• Accolades
• Tributes
• Honors
• Rave Reviews
• Redhook Brewery

So, we took the role of proud parents when we heard that the 402-VLZ3 & 802-VLZ3 won the Studio Ready Award from GuitarGearHeads.com.

Dan Halberg, product reviewer, had the following to say about why GuitarGearHeads.com chose the ultra-compact VLZ3 mixers.

“The engineers at Mackie VLZ3 802 and 402 have certainly done an amazing job of shoehorning all of the key features you’d expect to find in a large, high-end board into a sleek little package. I am also impressed that they’ve been able to do this at this low of a price point without compromising on quality."

He goes on to say...

"I am happy to award Mackie the 2008 'Studio Ready' award for their excellent work on the 802-VLZ3 and 402-VLZ3. Furthermore, it continues to demonstrate why GuitarGearHeads.com chooses Mackie as our official choice for mixers and consoles.”

Now that’s something to hang on the fridge.

Skratchworx is undisputedly the number one resource for DJ technology news and reviews. So, it stands to reason they would want to check out the d.2 Pro and d.4 Pro DJ Production Consoles. Here are links to their reviews:

You may know by now that the new U.Series Production Mixers are turning more than a few heads. Innovative ergonomics and flexible routing create a unique experience that streamlines workflow and maximizes creativity. Delamar, a major German website that offers product reviews and in-depth training, was at MESSE '08 and created a video review of this excited new series. BTW, it's in German. Ich hoffe, Sie sprechen Deutsch. Enjoy!

Here's a link to the U.Series video review.
