The Korena take

Rack ears for the Mackie 1642-VLZ Pro and VLZ3 mixers. Buy only if you own one of those and want it in a rack.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Putting a 1642-VLZ in a rack case for touring
  • Fixed install where the mixer needs to be secured
  • Consolidating a mixer and outboard gear into one rack

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Any mixer other than the 1642-VLZ Pro or VLZ3
  • Tabletop use where the mixer stays loose
  • Anyone who wants the mixer's rear jacks left fully accessible

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.

Detail 01

Model-specific bracket set

Bolt pattern matches the 1642-VLZ Pro and VLZ3 chassis only. It will not adapt to other Mackie sizes.

Detail 02

Sold as a set

Both left and right ears come together, so no second order to complete the pair.

Detail 03

Converts the mixer to rack mounting

The mixer sits flat and faces up in the rack, which changes how you reach the faders and knobs.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm your mixer is a 1642-VLZ Pro or VLZ3, not a 1604 or 1202
  2. 02Rack case, rack screws, and cage nuts are not included
  3. 03Rack mounting eats several spaces and limits rear cable clearance

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will this fit my 1202-VLZ?

No. This set is cut for the 1642-VLZ Pro and VLZ3. The 1202 uses a different bracket set.

02Does it include rack screws?

It is a bracket set for attaching to the mixer. Plan on supplying your own rack screws and washers for the rack rails.

03How many rack spaces does the mixer take?

The 1642 is a large-format compact mixer, so expect it to occupy a substantial portion of a rack. Measure your case before ordering.

04Can I still use the mixer on a desk after installing these?

Yes, though the brackets stick out on both sides and add width. Many people leave them on permanently once fitted.
