1402-VLZ3
The 1402-VLZ3 continues the evolution of the Mackie VLZ
mixers. With improved XDR2™ mic preamps, a re-designed
mix bus, and optimized active EQ on every channel, the
1402-VLZ3 is packed with premium features and maximum
flexibility. Plus, it is the smallest mixer in the series to boast
channel faders for a decidedly professional look and feel.
The 1402-VLZ3 is equipped with six mono mic/line channels
and four stereo line-input channels, for a total of 14 input
channels. Each channel has a 3-band EQ, Aux 1 and 2
sends, Pan, Mute/Alt, Solo and a 60mm fader. In addition,
the mic/line channels have phantom power, an input Gain
control with 60 dB of gain, a sharp 18 dB/octave, 75 Hz
Low Cut filter and a Channel Insert jack for connecting an
external processor.
The Mute/Alt 3-4 switch effectively creates a second stereo
bus. The Mute button on each channel mutes that channel in
the Main Mix, but also acts as a router to the 3-4 stereo bus,
greatly increasing signal routing flexibility.
The Control Room/Phones section has its own level control,
outputs 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.
Aux Send 1 has a master level control and a switch for
selecting pre- or post-fader send, whereas Aux Send 2 is a
fixed post-fader send, perfect for effects loops. There are two
stereo returns, with a switch to route Stereo Return 2 to Aux
Send 1 (to include reverb in the monitors, for example).
Other features include a stereo tape input and output, a
1/4-inch stereo headphone jack, stereo 12-segment LED
meters, and both TRS and XLR stereo output jacks, with a
mic/line level switch on the XLR outs.
Because of its many features and versatility, the 1402-VLZ3
may be used for extra studio-grade preamps, as aux inputs
for a mixing console, or as an impedance- or level-matching
audio toolkit. And the mix will surely benefit from the tactile
interaction with the channel faders.
