Mackie 1202-VLZ Pro Owner's Manual - Page 17

POWER CONNECTION Just in case you lose the cord provided with the 1202-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 1202-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 1202-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 # 278-1257). Can you tell that we hate wall warts? Plug the 1202-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. FUSE The 1202-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 1202-VLZ PRO is a 220V-240V unit). If two fuses blow in a row, something is very wrong. Please call our toll-free number 1-800-258-6883 from within the U.S. (or the distributor in your country) and find out what to do. POWER SWITCH If this one isn't self-explanatory, we give up. You can leave this switch on all the time; the 1202-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 1202-VLZ PRO feels quite warm in the upper-right corner. This is perfectly normal. ("Perfectly normal." Is that redundant?) PHANTOM SWITCH The PHANTOM power switch controls the phantom power supply for condenser microphones plugged into channels 1-4 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. 120 VAC 50/60 Hz 25W 500mA/250V SLO-BLO CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE REPLACE WITH SAME TYPE .5A-250V FUSE POWER ON PHANTOM ON 1202-VLZPRO 12-CHANNEL MIC/LINE MIXER WITH PREMIUM XDRTM MIC PREAMPLIFIERS MAIN RIGHT BALANCED MAIN LEFT BALANCED CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
