1202-VLZ3
The 1202-VLZ3 continues the evolution of the Mackie VLZ
mixers. With improved XDR2™ mic preamps, a re-designed
mix bus, and optimized active EQ on every channel, the
1202-VLZ3 is packed with premium features and maximum
flexibility.
The 1202-VLZ3 is equipped with four mono mic/line
channels and four stereo line-input channels, for a total of
12 input channels. Each channel has a 3-band EQ, Aux 1
and 2 sends, Pan, Mute/Alt, Solo and a Level control. In
addition, the mic/line channels have phantom power, an
input Gain control with 60 dB of gain, a sharp 18 dB/octave,
75 Hz Low Cut filter and a Channel Insert jack for connecting
an external processor.
The Mute/Alt 3-4 switch 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 flexibility.
FEATURES:
■ Ultra-compact 12-channel mixer featuring Mackie
VLZ3’s signature low noise, high-headroom design
■ Four studio-grade XDR2™ Extended Dynamic Range
mic preamps with:
The Control Room/Phones section 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.
• Ultra-wide 60 dB gain range
• 130 dB dynamic range
• +22 dBu line input handling
• Extended low-frequency response
• Distortion under 0.0007% (20 Hz – 20 kHz)
• Phantom power for studio condenser mics
Aux Send 1 has a master level control and a switch for
selecting pre- or post-fader send, whereas Aux Send 2 is a
fixed post-fader send, perfect for effects loops. There are two
stereo returns, with a switch to route Stereo Return 2 to Aux
Send 1 (to include reverb in the monitors, for example).
■ 12 high-headroom line inputs
■ Advanced DC pulse transformer RF rejection
Other features include a stereo tape input and output, a
1/4-inch stereo headphone jack, stereo 12-segment LED
meters, and TRS and XLR stereo output jacks, with a
mic/line level switch on the XLR outs.
■ Two aux sends, level, pan, and PFL solo on each
channel
■ Two stereo aux returns with EFX to Monitor switch
Because of its many features and versatility, the 1202-VLZ3
may be used for extra studio-grade preamps, as aux inputs
for a mixing console, or as an impedance- or level-matching
audio toolkit.
■ 3-band active EQ (80 Hz, 2.5 kHz, 12 kHz)
■
18 dB/octave, 75 Hz low-cut filter on mic input channels
■ Alt 3-4 stereo bus for added versatility
■ Control room/phones source matrix
■ Rack-mountable design using optional rack ears
■ Sealed rotary controls to resist dust and grime
■ Multi-voltage power supply for worldwide use
■ Rugged steel chassis
APPLICATIONS
Live sound mixing, houses of worship, clubs, gymnasiums,
banquet halls, conference rooms, boardrooms, studio and
field recording, multimedia applications, broadcast, and
many, many more.
