1202-VLZ3
12 Channel, Compact Mixer with 4 XDR Preamps
The ideal compact mixer for home and project studios, the Mackie 1202-VLZ3
is equally at home on the road, on the stage, or in the recording studio.
While it keeps all the features and functionality of its predecessor,
the Mackie 1202-VLZ3 offers even greater headroom, a redesigned Mix Bus,
tweaked EQs, and a mixer with a highly intuitive, musical feel.
XDR2 Mic Preamps
The new XDR2 (Extended Dynamic Range) second-generation mic preamps are
better than ever. These new pre's offer incredibly low noise, with individual
mic pre THD below 0.0007%, and overall mixer THD less than 0.0025%. With
60dB of available gain per channel, the 1202-VLZ3 can handle inputs ranging
from a whisper to a scream, and can even handle hot line-level signals
up to +22db, without any added coloration.
Equalization
Mackie optimized the center frequencies of their 3-band Active EQs. By
selecting 80Hz, 2.5kHz and 12kHz, for the Lows, Mids and Highs, respectively,
they created an even more musical EQ than on previous VLZs. With up to
15dB boost/cut capability per band, VLZ3's Active EQ provides more
tone-sculpting latitude.
Professional Features
The Mackie 1202-VLZ3 is packed with premium features on every mic channel:
75Hz Low-Cut filters, two Aux Sends, inserts, phantom power, constant-loudness
Pan controls and Pre Fader Solo. And since you can never have too many
output options, Mackie provided a Control Room/Phones source matrix, Master
Aux section with EFX to Monitor, tape outputs, a high-volume headphone
amplifier and balanced XLR and TRS outputs.
More Flexibility
Greg Mackie's mind was working overtime when he originally came up with
this - instead of sending muted signals into the vacuum of space, why
not do something useful with them? So, when you press the mute button
on the 1202-VLZ3, the signal is indeed muted - but it also appears
at the ALT 3-4 output jacks and ALT 3-4 stereo bus. This is an ideal way
to create additional Aux Sends and mixes for cry rooms, green rooms, or
assistive listening, etc. And with a press of a button, the ALT 3-4 mix
can be assigned to the Main output - which means ALT 3-4 can act very
much like a mixer within a mixer.
Built Mackie Tough
Solid-steel chassis, co-molded pots, control knobs that "ride"
just above the surface of the chassis, and thick, horizontally mounted
fiberglass PC boards used to eliminate the potential for damage and brace
them with a shock-absorbing support structure means your 1202-VLZ3 is
built tough-as-a-tank.
