Mackie revolutionized the compact mixer market by applying features and audio quality previously reserved for high-end, large format mixers.
From the smallest to the largest of their models, Mackie puts their best effort into every phase of board design. For example, XDR (Extended
Dynamic Range) mic preamps offer over 130dB of headroom, exceeding the performance of outboard preamps costing $1000 to $2000 per channel.
Project studios, video suites,multimedia authors, live venues, broadcast facilities and houses of worship seeking uncompromising sonic quality and
maximum flexibility will find what they are looking for in Mackie’s VLZ PRO mixer line.
MACKIE MIXER TECHNOLOGY
Very Low Impedance
◆ Ve ry low impedance is achieved by scaling
down resistor values by a factor of three or
four, resulting in a corresponding reduction
in thermal noise.
XDR Mic Preamps
◆ 130dB dynamic range and extremely flat fre-
quency response allows the XDR mic pre-
amps to handle inputs from 192kHz work-
stations without added coloration.
◆ DC pulse transformer reject RFI without
attenuating frequencies of 15kHz and above.
◆ Ultra-high-speed, large-geometry input
diodes protect the XDR mic preamps from
hot-patching and direct short circuits in
cables carrying phantom power.
EQ
◆ Positioned at 12kHz, the Hi Shelving EQ
adds sheen and presence to instruments and
vocals, enhancing the textures of sounds
without contributing to aural fatigue.
◆ Positioned at 80Hz, the Low Shelving EQ
emphasizes the fundamental lows of kick
drums, and other bass instruments while
allowing you to fatten up male vocals and
instruments like guitars.
◆ Mid-range frequency is placed at 2.5kHz
(1202/1402-VLZ PRO), harmonics of vocals
and instruments are enhanced without
becoming strident or fatiguing.
◆ Sweepable Mid-Band EQ (1604/1642-VLZ
PRO) from 100Hz to 8kHz for specific EQ
treatment of a broad range of frequencies.
Mix Amp Headroom
◆ Negative gain mix amplifier architecture sets
standard mixing levels at -6dB. This offers a
greater amount of headroom,allowing up to
4 times as many hot signals to be summed at
the main mix bus without clipping
Impact Resistance
◆ Knobs ride just thousandths of an inch from
the metal surface of a mixer chassis.
◆ Brutal knob impact is absorbed by broad
pressure on a tough circuit board
◆ Ultra-tight lip seal design provides a contin-
uously-sealed barrier against dust and liquid
◆ A braced, horizontal circuit board and
shock-absorbing structure eliminates force
transferred to the circuit board.
Additional
Features
◆ Four 1/4˝ balanced stereo
aux returns with level
controls and solo.
◆ Switchable AFL/PFL Solo
with level control
◆ Optional rack ears are
allow mounting in a
standard 19˝ rack.
All The Features of the 1402 VLZ Pro PLUS—
1642-VLZ PRO 16 x 4 x 2 Compact Mixer
Bridging the gap between the 1604-VLZ Pro (next page) and the smaller 1402-VLZ Pro,
the 1642-VLZ Pro gives you 4-bus mixing flexibility, ten XDR mic preamps and four
stereo line-level channels—fewer mic preamps and more line-level inputs at your
fingertips. Yet it also has live-sound features like EFX to monitor, AFL/PFL
solo, pre-fader aux sends, and built like a tank construction. The ideal mixer
if you record with lots of keyboards, samplers and drum machines. Perfect
for home and project studios as well as video post-production applications.
