Power Connection; Fuse; Power Switch; Phantom Switch - Mackie 1202-VLZ Pro Owner's Manual

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 instru-
ments, 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 dis-
tributor 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-a-
day 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 micro-
phones 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.
