If you think your 802-VLZ3 has a problem, please
check out the following troubleshooting tips and do your
best to confirm the problem. Visit the support section of
our website (www.mackie.com) where you will find lots
of useful information such as FAQs, documentation and
user forums. You may find the answer to the problem
without having to send your mixer away.
Troubleshooting
Bad Channel
• Is the gain set correctly?
• Is the level knob turned up?
• Is the instrument switch set correctly? (Chan-
nels 1–2 only).
• Try the same source signal in another channel,
set up exactly like the suspect channel.
• Check that the pan knob is set correctly.
• Check the EQ and the low-cut switch.
Bad Output
• Is the associated level knob (if any) turned up?
• If it's one of the main outs, try unplugging all
the others. For example, if it's the 1⁄4" left main
out, unplug the RCA and XLR left outputs. If
the problem goes away, its not the mixer.
• If a left speaker is presumed dead, switch the
left and right cords, at the mixer's main outs. If
the left speaker is still not working, it's not the
mixer.
Noise
• Turn the channel level and aux return knobs
down, one by one. If the sound disappears, it's
either that channel or whatever is plugged
into it, so unplug whatever that is. If the noise
disappears, it's from your whatever.
