Owner’s Manual
Patchbay Description
This is where you plug everything in: microphones,
line-level instruments and effects, headphones, and
the ultimate destination for your sound: a recorder, PA
system, etc.
Appendix B has details and drawings of the
connectors you can use with the 802-VLZ3. Also see
the channel strip description on page 16 for details
of the signal routing from the XLR and line inputs.
1. MIC INPUTS (Channels 1–3)
We use phantom-powered, balanced microphone
inputs just like the big studio mega-consoles, for
exactly the same reason: This kind of circuit is
excellent at rejecting hum and noise. You can plug
in almost any kind of mic that has a standard XLR
male mic connector.
Professional ribbon, dynamic, and condenser mics
will all sound excellent through these inputs. The
802-VLZ3’s mic inputs will handle any kind of mic level
you can toss at them, without overloading. Be sure to
perform the level-setting procedure on page 3.
Channel 3-4 is a hybrid design, with a mono mic input
in a stereo channel. The mono mic input is fed to both
sides of the stereo field.
Not every instrument is made to connect
directly to a mixer. Guitars commonly need a
Direct Injection (DI) box to connect to the
mixer's mic inputs. Channels 1 and 2 have an
instrument switch [6] so you do not need a DI box, and
can plug your guitar directly into the line inputs [2].
PHANTOM POWER
Most modern professional condenser mics are
equipped for phantom power, which lets the mixer
send low-current DC voltage to the mic’s electronics
through the same wires that carry audio. (Semi-pro
condenser mics often have batteries to accomplish the
same thing.) “Phantom” owes its name to an ability to
be “unseen” by dynamic mics (Shure SM57/SM58, for
instance), which don’t need external power and aren’t
affected by it anyway.
The 802-VLZ3’s phantom power is globally controlled
by the phantom power [12] switch. (This means the
phantom power for the mic inputs of channels 1-3 is
turned on and off together.)
Never plug single-ended (unbalanced)
microphones or instruments into the mic [1]
input jacks if the phantom power is on.
Do not plug instrument outputs into the mic
input jacks with phantom power on, unless
you know for certain it is safe to do so.
Do not use phantom power with ribbon
microphones.
