MS1202-VLZ’s musical
3-band EQ will take care of
it. We chose 12kHz, 2.5kHz
and 80Hz to make our EQ
more practical to the needs
of today’s sound engineers
– not those of thirty years ago.
Flexibility you need.
The MS1202-VLZ is loaded
with flexible mixdown and
monitor routing possibilities.
Mute/Alt 3-4 is a dual-
purpose feature: Normally,
the mute button on each
channel acts that way – as a
mute. But when the Alt 3-4
outputs are in use, the button
acts as a router to the 3-4
stereo bus. You can create
two stereo pairs for 4-track
recording or for an extra
monitor or cry room mix.
EFX to Monitor lets you
blend reverb or other effects
back into a monitor mix via
Aux Send 1.
Aux 1’s Pre/Post switch
lets you set it for pre-
fader/post-EQ use – great
for stage monitor mixes, or
post-fader/post-EQ, which
is handy for studio effects.
It also has a level control
for added flexibility.
Control Room/Phones
has its own level control
and separate outputs, al-
lowing you to select any
combination of Main Mix,
Tape In and Alt 3-4 so you
can create custom head-
phone mixes, monitor tape
levels, and more. A sepa-
rate switch routes this
multi-source signal back
into the Main Mix.
Balanced XLR Main Out-
puts – which are switch-
able to mic or line level –
make it easy to use the
MS1202-VLZ with profes-
sional audio and video
equipment. Main outputs
are also available at 1/4”
jacks. And of course, all the
mixer’s inputs and outputs
are balanced (except chan-
nel inserts, phones and
RCA jacks). You can also
use unbalanced cables if
need be.
Durable and solid.
Greg Mackie designed the
MicroSeries 1202-VLZ the
same way he designs every
Mackie mixer: to stand up
to non-stop, 24 hour-a-day
professional duty. In broad-
cast and PA applications, TV
and radio production stu-
dios, video post suites –
wherever a high quality
compact mixer is desired.
Sealed, co-molded rotary
controls keep the MS1202-VLZ
free from airborne dust and
contamination better than
the open-frame phenolic
pots others use. Mackie’s
pots provide minimal con-
tact noise, and their design
– along with the energy-
absorbing way they’re
mounted to the mixer –
helps prevent impact
damage.
Along with its steel chas-
sis and thru-hole-plated
fiberglass circuit boards, the
MicroSeries 1202-VLZ also
features a built-in power
supply instead of a “wall
wart.” Not only does this
eliminate the inevitable
hassles of dealing with ex-
ternal power supplies, it
also reduces hum. The tiny
transformers in wall warts
waste more energy, and
can introduce additional
hum into the mix. Not so
with our built-in power
supply. It introduces far less
noise – and far less trouble.
RFI protection is imple-
mented with circuitry and
construction that makes
the MS1202-VLZ virtually
impervious to RF interfer-
ence in high-energy
environments.
Any place, any time,
anywhere.
The MS1202-VLZ can be
used continuously in all
kinds of places by all kinds
of people: TV and radio
stations, video production
houses, touring sound
companies, big-studio
engineers and corporate
