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
–notthoseofthirtyyearsago.
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
outputsare 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
controlskeeptheMS1202-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
