Mackie 1202-VLZ Pro Specifications

Introduction
The 1202-VLZ PRO is the updated, upgraded version
of Mackie's classic 12-channel compact mic/line
mixer. The unit incorporates Mackie's new ultra-high
quality XDR ™ (Extended Dynamic Range) mic preamps
with the best RFI rejection of any compact mixer
design. Added benefi ts include maximum freedom
from ground loops and impeccable sonic performance
that meets or exceeds the specs of esoteric, outboard
mic preamplifi ers. The XDR design is the only compact
mixer mic preamp that is totally impedance indepen-
dent: frequency response does not change even with
extremely long cable runs or exceptionally high-imped-
ance mic inputs.
To greatly reduce the effects of wind noise and mic
thumps, each of the four mic channels has a sharp,
18dB/octave, 75Hz Low Cut fi lter.
Mute/Alt 3-4 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 fl exibility.
The EFX to Monitor feature allows routing of reverb or
other effects signals back into a monitor mix via Aux Send 1.
Aux 1's Pre/Post switch can be set for pre-fader/post-EQ
use, which is benefi cial for stage monitor mixes, or post-
fader/post-EQ for use with external effects. It also has a
level control for added fl exibility.
Control Room/Phones 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.
Because of its many features and durability, the
1202-VLZ PRO can be used for extra studio-grade pre-
amps, as aux inputs for a mixing console, or as an
impedance- or level-matching audio toolkit.
