Mackie 1202-VLZ3

• 

 

Sure its cute, but the Mackie 1202-VLZ3 is a serious professional compact mixer, with features that belie its small footprint. The ideal compact mixer for home and project studios, the 1202-VLZ3 is equally at home on the road, on the stage, or in the recording studio.

While it keeps all the features and functionality of its predecessor, the Mackie 1202-VLZ3 offers even greater headroom versus the original. Mackie could have stopped right then and there, but they're obsessed with perfection. So they redesigned the Mix Bus, tweaked the EQs, and created a mixer with a highly intuitive, musical feel.

The new XDR2 (Extended Dynamic Range) second-generation mic preamps are better than ever. These new pres offer incredibly low noise, with individual mic pre THD below 0.0007%, and overall mixer THD less than 0.0025%. With 60dB of available gain per channel, the 1202-VLZ3 can handle inputs ranging from a whisper to a scream, and can even handle hot line-level signals up to +22db, without any added coloration. You simply wont find preamps this good on any other mixer in this price range.

All VLZ3 mixers are built tough-as-a-tank. Mackies  legendary solid-steel chassis can take the kind of abuse that would turn our competitors flimsy boxes into twisted chunks of debris. Instead of cheap, unsealed potentiometers, we use co-molded pots, which offer substantial strain and impact relief. By design, Mackies control knobs ride just above the surface of the chassis, so if something falls onto the mixer, the impact is transferred from the knobs to the chassis not to the potentiometers or circuit board. Finally, they use thick, horizontally mounted fiberglass PC boards to eliminate the potential for damage and brace them with a shock-absorbing support structure. Theyve survived earthquakes, hurricanes and typhoons, so Mackie mixers can certainly handle whatever you throw at them.

Youll find Mackie mixers everywhere you go from video post-production facilities, to major artist tour buses, to duty as field mixers for news departments of all the major networks. Drummers and keyboardists use them to send submixes to front of house and monitor consoles. VLZ3 compact mixers are the ideal choice for any situation requiring superior audio mixing, especially where space and/or budget constraints are an issue.
