The 4-channel 402VLZ4 features our flagship Onyx
mic preamps in an ultra-compact design that is an
industry-leading performer ideal for professional
low-input applications.

to provide the highest headroom and lowest noise possible
for maximum signal integrity.
Plus, it truly is “Built-Like-A-Tank” with a ridiculously rugged
solid steel chassis and high-contrast controls for ultimate
tactile control.
And with features like instrument level inputs, phantom
power and level metering, the 402VLZ4 is the premier
mixer choice for anybody who’s big on performance,
but light on inputs.

The bottom panel of the 402VLZ4 has three non-threaded
holes that allow it to be fitted with an optional microphone
stand adapter. This lets you support the mixer on a standard
mic stand and adjust its height and level to whatever suits
your preferences.
The Atlas AD-11B mic stand adapter is available at many
music stores. It is made and distributed by Atlas Sound.
Use three self-tapping machine screws 6-32 x 1/4” long to
secure the adapter to the bottom of the 402VLZ4.
Do not use screws longer than 1/4” as these could damage
the circuit boards. Do not use screws shorter than 1/4”,
or the adapter will not be securely fixed to the mixer.
