Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Rack-mount ears for the Mackie MS1402-VLZ. Buy them if that mixer is moving out of tabletop use and into a rack or road case.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Putting an MS1402-VLZ into a rack case for regular transport
  • Fixed installs where the mixer must not shift or walk off
  • Studios where desk space matters more than desktop access

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Other Mackie mixers — this set is cut for the MS1402-VLZ
  • Anyone keeping the mixer flat on a desk
  • Anyone hoping to change jack angle; ears only change mounting

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Mackie MS1402-VLZ Dumbo Ears construction detail

Detail 01

Model-specific

Screw points line up with the MS1402-VLZ chassis. Other VLZ mixers use different mounting kits.

Detail 02

Ears, not a shelf

The mixer hangs from its own side panels on the front rails. Nothing supports it from underneath.

Detail 03

Mackie factory hardware

Uses existing chassis holes, so nothing gets drilled or modified on the mixer.

Detail 04

$69.99

That's the hardware alone. The rack or road case is the larger part of the spend.

Detail 05

Accessory, not an upgrade

No change to audio, routing, or channel count. Purely how and where the mixer sits.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01The mixer is not included — this is mounting hardware only
  2. 02Rack screws and cage nuts normally ship with the case, not the ears
  3. 03Confirm your unit reads MS1402-VLZ; VLZ variants take different kits

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will these fit my 1402-VLZ3 or VLZ4?

They are made for the MS1402-VLZ. Later VLZ generations use different chassis dimensions and mounting points, so check your exact model number before ordering.

02How hard is the install?

A screwdriver job at the bench. The ears attach to the mixer's existing side screw points, then the whole unit bolts into the rack rails.

03Does rack-mounting block the rear jacks?

The rear connectors face out the back of the rack once mounted, so leave clearance behind the rack for cables and plugs.

04Do I get rack screws with them?

Plan on sourcing rack screws and cage nuts separately — those normally come with the rack or case rather than with mounting ears.
