Features

Applications

The 1202-VLZ PRO

is the updated, upgraded version

of Mackie’s classic 12-channel compact mic/line

mixer. The unit incorporates Mackie’s new ultra-high

quality XDR

™

(Extended Dynamic Range) mic preamps

with the best RFI rejection of any compact mixer

design. Added benefits include maximum freedom

from ground loops and impeccable sonic performance

that meets or exceeds the specs of esoteric, outboard

mic preamplifiers. The XDR design is the only compact

mixer mic preamp that is totally impedance indepen-

dent: frequency response does not change even with

extremely long cable runs or exceptionally high-imped-

ance mic inputs.

To greatly reduce the effects of wind noise and mic

thumps, each of the four mic channels has a sharp,

18dB/octave, 75Hz Low Cut fi

lter.

Mute/Alt 3-4 effectively creates a second stereo bus.

The Mute button on each channel mutes that channel in

the Main Mix, but also acts as a router to the 3-4 stereo

bus, greatly increasing signal routing fl

exibility.

The EFX to Monitor feature allows routing of reverb or

other effects signals back into a monitor mix via Aux Send 1.

Aux 1’s Pre/Post switch can be set for pre-fader/post-EQ

use, which is benefi

cial for stage monitor mixes, or post-

fader/post-EQ for use with external effects. It also has a

level control for added fl

exibility.

Control Room/Phones has its own level control,

outputs and input matrix for selecting any combination

of Main Mix, Tape In and Alt 3-4 to create custom

headphone mixes, to monitor tape levels, and more.

A separate switch routes this multi-source signal back

into the Main Mix.

Because of its many features and durability, the

1202-VLZ PRO can be used for extra studio-grade pre-

amps, as aux inputs for a mixing console, or as an

impedance- or level-matching audio toolkit.
