Mackie 1402-VLZ Pro Owner's Manual - Page 17

POWER CONNECTION Just in case you lose the cord provided with the 1402-VLZ PRO, its power jack accepts a standard 3-prong IEC cord like those found on most professional recorders, musical instruments, and computers. At the other end of our cord is - get this - a plug! Not a black cube or, as we're fond of calling them, a "wall wart." We did this for some very good reasons: The 1402-VLZ PRO has sophisticated power requirements that a wall wart cannot provide. Wall warts are inconvenient, fragile, radiate huge hum fields, hog extra jacks on your power strip and get in the way. If you lose a wall wart, you're in trouble, but if you lose the 1402-VLZ PRO's power cord, you can get a new one at any electronics, music, or computer store. You can even buy them at Radio Shack® (part # 287-1257). Can you tell that we hate wall warts? Plug the 1402-VLZ PRO into any standard grounded AC outlet or into a power strip of proper voltage. WARNING: Disconnecting the plug's ground pin can be dangerous. Please don't do it. POWER SWITCH If this one isn't self-explanatory, we give up. You can leave this switch on all the time; the 1402-VLZ PRO is conservatively designed, so heat buildup isn't a problem even in 24-hour-aday operation. There's nothing that will burn out or get used up. Or, just plug everything into a good quality power strip for one-button turn-on. You may notice that the 1402-VLZ PRO feels quite warm in the upperright corner. This is perfectly normal. (Perfectly normal. Is that redundant?) In the output section there is a POWER LED. If the power is on, so is the LED. PHANTOM SWITCH The Phantom Power Switch controls the phantom power supply for condenser microphones plugged into channels 1-6 mic inputs as discussed at the start of this section . When turned on (or off), the phantom power circuitry takes a few moments for voltage to ramp up (or down). This is also perfectly normal. In the output section, next to the POWER LED, is the PHANTOM LED. If the phantom power is on, so is the LED. FUSE The 1402-VLZ PRO is fused for your (and its own) protection. If you suspect a blown fuse, disconnect the cord, pull the fuse drawer out (located just below the cord receptacle) and replace the fuse with a 500mA (0.5 amps) SLO BLO, 5x20mm, available at electronics stores or your dealer (or a 250mA SLO BLO 5x20mm if your 1402-VLZ PRO is a 220V-240V unit). If two fuses blow in a row, something is very wrong. Please call our toll-free number (or the distributor in your country) and find out what to do.
