Mackie 1642VLZ4 Rackmount Kit 19-Inch Rack Ears for 16-Channel Mixer

Mackie 1642VLZ Rackmount Kit: Move Your Mixer Into the Rack

The Mackie 1642VLZ Rackmount Kit is a purpose-built rack ear bracket set that mounts the 1642VLZ4 compact mixer into a standard 19-inch rack. It includes the rack ear brackets and all mounting screws needed to bolt the mixer securely onto the rack rails, so your console goes from tabletop to rack in minutes. For the engineer building a clean, road-ready rig, it is the small upgrade that finally tames the cable clutter.

A Precise, Locked-Down Fit

Because the kit is engineered specifically for the 1642VLZ4, the steel brackets align exactly with the mixer's mounting points and fasten flush to the chassis, eliminating the rattle and flex that generic universal brackets introduce. Once installed, the mixer sits securely on the rack rails, protected from the knocks of load-in and transport while its controls stay fully accessible from the front of the rack.

Installs in Minutes With One Tool

Installation is deliberately simple: attach the rack ears to the sides of the mixer with the included screws and slide the unit into any standard 19-inch rack. A single Phillips screwdriver is the only tool required, so a full install takes only a few minutes and no special hardware. The included instructions walk you through the exact bracket orientation and screw placement.

Who the Rackmount Kit Is For

Choose the 1642VLZ Rackmount Kit for permanent AV and broadcast installations, fixed house-of-worship systems, studio equipment racks, and touring rigs where the mixer needs to travel locked into a road case. Anywhere the 1642VLZ4 needs to live in a rack rather than on a desk, this bracket set delivers the secure, professional mounting the job demands.
