I’m not sure how long I’ve had my Mackie Series 1202 mixer, but it is at least ten years.

To this day, it works as perfectly as it did the day I bought it and I am no gentle user.  This mixer has survived months in a dusty garage, years of drunken smoky band practice and multiple trips completely across America, once in a trunk carried on a bus!

The only reason I am buying a new mixer is that I need Firewire support, but this mixer will be in my studio for another ten years I’ll wager.

To make a short story a little bit longer, I highly recommend this mixer and Mackie in general.
