COMPACT MIXER  
1202-VLZ3  
1202-VLZ3  
The 1202-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  
1202-VLZ3 is packed with premium features and maximum  
flexibility.  
The 1202-VLZ3 is equipped with four mono mic/line  
channels and four stereo line-input channels, for a total of  
12 input channels. Each channel has a 3-band EQ, Aux 1  
and 2 sends, Pan, Mute/Alt, Solo and a Level control. 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.  
FEATURES:  
Ultra-compact 12-channel mixer featuring Mackie  
VLZ3’s signature low noise, high-headroom design  
Four studio-grade XDR2™ Extended Dynamic Range  
mic preamps with:  
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.  
• Ultra-wide 60 dB gain range  
• 130 dB dynamic range  
• +22 dBu line input handling  
• Extended low-frequency response  
• Distortion under 0.0007% (20 Hz – 20 kHz)  
• Phantom power for studio condenser mics  
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).  
12 high-headroom line inputs  
Advanced DC pulse transformer RF rejection  
Other features include a stereo tape input and output, a  
1/4-inch stereo headphone jack, stereo 12-segment LED  
meters, and TRS and XLR stereo output jacks, with a  
mic/line level switch on the XLR outs.  
Two aux sends, level, pan, and PFL solo on each  
channel  
Two stereo aux returns with EFX to Monitor switch  
Because of its many features and versatility, the 1202-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.  
3-band active EQ (80 Hz, 2.5 kHz, 12 kHz)  
18 dB/octave, 75 Hz low-cut filter on mic input channels  
Alt 3-4 stereo bus for added versatility  
Control room/phones source matrix  
Rack-mountable design using optional rack ears  
Sealed rotary controls to resist dust and grime  
Multi-voltage power supply for worldwide use  
Rugged steel chassis
