Mackie’s 1402-VLZ PRO combines the compact size of the 1202-VLZ PRO with added features and 60mm log-taper faders. Its six new “audiophile” XDR™ Extended Dynamic Range mic preamps offer the best RFI rejection of any compact mixer design. Added benefits include maximum freedom from ground loops and impeccable sonic performance that meets or exceeds the specs of esoteric, out-board mic preamplifiers. The XDR design is the only compact mixer mic preamp that is totally impedance independent: frequency response does not change even with extremely long cable runs or exceptionally high-impedance mic inputs.

A sharp, 18dB/octave 75Hz Low Cut filter on each mic channel greatly reduces mic thumps, wind noise and stage rumble. Mute/Alt 3-4 effectively creates a second stereo bus. The Mute button on each channel mutes that channel in the Main Mix, while simultane-ously placing the signal on the Alt 3-4 stereo bus, greatly increasing signal routing flexibility.

The EFX to Monitor feature allows routing of reverb or other effects signals back into a monitor mix via Aux Send 1. Aux 1 Master’s Pre/Post switch can be set for pre-fader/post-EQ use, which is bene-ficial for stage monitor mixes, or post-fader/post-EQ for use with external effects. It also has a level con-trol for added flexibility.

Control Room/Phones has its own level control, stereo output pair 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 1402-VLZ PRO can be used for extra studio-grade preamps, as aux inputs for a mixing console, or as an impedance- or level-matching audio toolkit.

STEREO CHANNELS 7/8, 9/10, 11/12 and 13/14: The mixer shall include 8 bal/unbal line inputs, forming 4 stereo input pairs, using 1/4" TRS phone jacks, accepting nominal levels from –10dBV to +4dBu, with +4dBu/–10dBV level switches. OTHER INPUTS: The mixer shall include 4 bal/unbal Aux Return inputs, forming two stereo pairs, using 1/4" TRS phone jacks, accepting nominal levels from –10dBV to +4dBu. The mixer shall include 1 stereo pair of Tape In jacks, using unbalanced RCA-type phono jacks, accepting nominal levels from –20dBV to +0dBu.

3. MIXER OUTPUTS. MAIN OUTPUTS: The mixer’s Main Output stereo

pairs shall be fitted in three ways: Using balanced XLR-3-M-type connectors, delivering maximum output of +4dBu, including 1 Main Output Level switch to provide 30dB attenuation (XLR outputs only; –26dBu nominal level); using bal/unbal 1/4" TRS phone jacks, delivering nominal levels from –10dBV to +4dBu; and using unbalanced RCA-type phono jacks (labeled TAPE

OUT), delivering nominal levels from –10dBV to +4dBu. OTHER OUTPUTS: The mixer shall include 1 stereo

pair of Alt 3-4 outputs using bal/unbal 1/4" TRS phone jacks, delivering maximum output of +22dBu; 1 stereo pair of Control Room outputs using bal/unbal 1/4" TRS phone jacks, delivering a maximum output of +22dBu; 2 Aux Send outputs using bal/unbal 1/4" TRS phone jacks, delivering nominal levels from –10dBV to +4dBu; and 1 stereo Head-phone output using an unbalanced 1/4" TRS phone jack (tip=left, ring=right, sleeve=ground).

4. MIXER INPUT SECTION. In addition to the con-trols listed in section 2 (MIXER INPUTS), each chan-nel shall include 2 rotary Aux Send controls, provid-ing up to 15dB gain; 3 rotary equalization (EQ) con-trols: ±15dB @ 12kHz shelving, ±12dB @ 2.5kHz peaking and ±15dB @ 80kHz shelving; 1 rotary Pan control, 4dB attenuation panned center; 1 Mute/Alt 3-4 switch, to be used as a channel mute or to route the signal to the alternate stereo bus (Alt 3-4); 1 dual-mode solo switch (AFL or PFL, globally switched); and 1 channel fader, providing up to 10dB above unity gain.

5. MIXER OUTPUT SECTION. The mixer shall have 2 Main Mix faders, providing up to 10dB gain; 1 Con-trol Room/Submix Fader, providing up to 10dB gain; 1 Source Matrix including 3 switches to deliver any combination of stereo signals to the Control Room, Phones and Meters, including Main Mix, Alt 3-4 and Tape, which shall be replaced by any solo signals resulting from the engagement of any channel’s Solo switch; 1 Assign to Main Mix switch to deliver the Source Matrix signals to the Main Mix; 1 Solo Mode switch to globally determine solo type (pre-fader listen or after-fader listen, in place); 2 rotary Aux Return level controls, providing up to 20dB gain; 1 rotary Aux Send 1 Master control, providing up to 10dB gain; 1 Aux Send global Pre/Post switch; 1 EFX to Monitor switch, allowing Aux Return 1 signals to be delivered to Aux Send 1 via the Aux Return 2 level control; and 1 blinking red Solo LED, to indicate a solo condition.

6. METERING. The mixer shall include 1 stereo 12-segment LED meter with points at –30, –20, –10, –7, –4, –2, 0, +2, +4, +7, +10, and +28dB (clip). The source signals for the meters shall be the same signals selected in the Source Matrix, and a solo condition shall replace the Source selection with the
