Do you have a question about the 1202VLZ4 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
where is the L-R switch for stereo/mon on the 1202VLZ4. My unit only outputs mono for xlr main output on L & R. My pc outputs stereo using a cord with L-1/4" & R-1/4." They are connected to Line In 11-12. Other channels tested & only produce mono also.
The Mackie 1202VLZ4 does not have a dedicated L-R switch for stereo/mono. To create a mono signal, you must use an RCA Y-cord or a special adapter to combine left and right outputs.
