POWER SWITCH PHANTOM LED If this one isn't self-explanatory, we give up. You can leave this switch on all the time; the 1604-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. You may notice that the 1604-VLZ PRO's "pod" feels quite warm (the pod is the chassis that contains the jacks). This is perfectly normal. POWER LED You've probably already figured this out, but if the POWER switch is on, this LED (lightemitting diode), located in the output section, will light. If the switch is off, well, you get the idea. If the POWER switch is on and the LED does not glow, one of three things has happened: Somebody tripped over the power cord and yanked it from the outlet, your electricity has been turned off due to nonpayment, or the fuse has blown . Located right next to the POWER LED in the output section, this is just to let you know which way you have the PHANTOM switch set. If your dynamic mics work and your condensers don't, chances are this LED is off, so turn it on. You'll notice that when you turn the phantom power off, the LED stays on for a while. This is a natural phenomenon - the LED is actually a yellow voltmeter telling you that the phantom power takes time to ramp itself down to zero volts. So, if you've turned phantom power off to connect something to the mic inputs, wait until the yellow LED stops glowing and then make your connections safely. BNC LAMP SOCKET Located in the top right corner of the output section, this 12V socket will drive any standard BNC-type lamp (a Littlite® #12G or #12G-HI (high-intensity), for instance). PHANTOM SWITCH The PHANTOM switch controls the phantom power supply for condenser microphones 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. For an even closer look, refer to Appendix C. 1604-VLZ PRO 12V 16-CHANNEL MIC/ LINE MIXER 0.5A WITH PREMIUM XDRTM MIC PREAMPLIFIERS LAMP U U U 1 +10 U 1 +20 U 1 TO AUX SEND 1 +15 EFFECTS TO U MONITORS OO OO OO OO OO OO 2 +10 AUX SEND 2 +20 U 2 TO AUX SEND 2 +15 ASSIGN OPTIONS 1 3 OO OO SOLO 2 +20 U MAIN MIX 1-2 TO SUBS 3-4 SOLO 4 PHAN PWR C-R / PHNS RETURNS +20 ONLY SOLO STEREO AUX RETURN LEFT RIGHT 120 VAC 50/60 Hz 20W 1A/250V SLO-BLO POWER PHANTOM ON ON CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE REPLACE WITH SAME TYPE FUSE AND RATING UUTTIILLIISSEEUUNNFFUUSSIIBBLLEEDDEERREECCHHAANNGGEEDDEEMMÊÊMMEETTYYPPEE..DDEEBBRRAANNCCHHEERRAAVVAANNTTDDEERREEMMPPLLAACCEERRLLEEFFUUSSIIBBLLEE INSERT INSERT INSERT MAIN OUT BAL/UNBAL L MONO R +6 INSERT OO MAIN INSERT (TIP SEND RING RETURN) L TAPE INPUT TAPE OUTPUT C-R OUT BAL/UNBAL L L L R R R R INSERT INSERT INSERT SUB OUT BAL/UNBAL 3 1 4 2 AUX RETURN BAL/UNBAL 4 3 2 1 L (MONO) R L (MONO) R L (MONO) R AUX SEND BAL/UNBAL 5 3 1 6 4 2 DIRECT OUT BAL/UNBAL 7 5 3 1 8 6 4 2 INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT LINE 16 LINE 15 LINE 14 LINE 13 LINE 12 LINE 11 LINE 10 9 LINE 8 LINE 7 LINE 6 LINE 5 LINE 4 LINE 3 LINE 2 LINE 1 LINE BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL UN- UN- UN- UN- UN- UN- UN- UN- UN- UN- UN- UN- UN- UN- UN- UN- BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL BAL MIC 16 XDR MIC PRE MIC 15 XDR MIC PRE MIC 14 XDR MIC PRE MIC 13 XDR MIC PRE MIC 12 XDR MIC PRE MIC 11 XDR MIC PRE MIC 10 XDR MIC PRE MIC 9 XDR MIC PRE MIC 8 XDR MIC PRE MIC 7 XDR MIC PRE MIC 6 XDR MIC PRE MIC 5 XDR MIC PRE MIC 4 XDR MIC PRE MIC 3 XDR MIC PRE MIC 2 XDR MIC PRE MIC 1 XDR MIC PRE XDRTM EXTENDED DYNAMIC RANGE MIC PREAMPLIFIERS ARE PROPRIETARY TO MACKIE DESIGNS, INC.
