Nastavitev
Proper setup is crucial for achieving the best audio quality and preventing damage to your equipment. Follow these steps to connect your mixer.
1. Fizična namestitev
Place the mixer on a stable, flat surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating. Avoid placing it near sources of electromagnetic interference, such as power transformers or computer monitors.
2. Napajalni priključek
Connect the supplied AC power cord to the mixer's power input and then to a grounded AC outlet. The 1202-VLZ3 features a multi-voltage power supply for worldwide use. Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting or disconnecting power.
3. Vhodne povezave
The 1202-VLZ3 offers various input options for microphones and line-level devices.
- Microphone Inputs (MIC 1-4): Use XLR cables to connect microphones to the MIC inputs. These inputs feature Mackie's XDR2 mic preamps. Phantom power (+48V) can be engaged for condenser microphones via a global switch.
- Linijski vhodi (kanali 1–4): Use 1/4-inch TRS or TS cables for line-level sources such as keyboards, drum machines, or preamposvežilci.
- Stereo Line Inputs (Channels 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12): These stereo channels accept 1/4-inch TRS or TS cables for stereo line-level sources. Channels 5-6 and 7-8 also have mono XLR inputs for microphones.
4. Izhodne povezave
Priključite naprave za spremljanje in snemanje na izhode mešalnika.
- Main Outputs (MAIN OUT L/R): Connect these balanced XLR or 1/4-inch TRS outputs to your main power ampnapajalnik, zvočniki z napajanjem ali snemalni vmesnik.
- Control Room Outputs (CTL ROOM OUT L/R): Connect these 1/4-inch TRS outputs to your studio monitor speakers.
- Aux Sends (AUX SEND 1/2): Use these 1/4-inch TS outputs to send signals to external effects processors or monitor mixes.
- Tape Outputs (TAPE OUT L/R): These RCA outputs are suitable for connecting to a stereo recording device.
- Izhod za slušalke: Connect your headphones to the 1/4-inch stereo headphone jack.

Delovanje
This section details the functions of the various controls on your 1202-VLZ3 mixer.
1. Channel Controls (Mono Channels 1-4)
Each mono input channel features the following controls:
- Gain Control: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the microphone or line input. Set this to achieve a healthy signal level without clipping.
- Low-Cut Filter (75Hz): Vključi visokoprepustni filter z 18 dB/oktavo pri 75 Hz za odstranitev neželenega nizkofrekvenčnega ropotanja.
- Izenačitev (EQ): A 3-band active EQ with High (12kHz), Mid (2.5kHz), and Low (80Hz) controls. Provides up to 15dB boost or cut.
- Aux Sends (AUX 1, AUX 2): Controls the amount of channel signal sent to the respective Aux Send outputs. AUX 1 is pre-fader, AUX 2 is post-fader.
- Pan Control: Postavi signal kanala znotraj stereo polja (od leve proti desni).
- Mute / ALT 3-4 Button: Mutes the channel from the main mix and sends it to the ALT 3-4 bus.
- PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Solo Button: Routes the channel's pre-fader signal to the headphones and control room outputs for monitoring without affecting the main mix.
- Fader nivoja: Prilagodi skupno izhodno raven kanala glede na glavni miks.

2. Kontrolniki glavnega odseka
The master section provides overall control and monitoring capabilities.
- Aux Returns (STEREO RETURNS 1/2): Nadzira raven signalov, ki se vračajo iz zunanjih procesorjev efektov, priključenih na Aux Returns.
- Matrika virov kontrolne sobe/telefonov: Allows selection of the source for the Control Room outputs and Headphone output (Main Mix, ALT 3-4, Tape).
- Fader glavne mešanice: Adjusts the overall output level of the main stereo mix.
- ALT 3-4 Level Control: Adjusts the output level of the ALT 3-4 bus.
- Merilniki nivoja: Provides visual indication of the main mix output level. Aim for levels around 0 dBVU during normal operation, avoiding consistent clipping.

Vzdrževanje
Redno vzdrževanje zagotavlja dolgo življenjsko dobo in optimalno delovanje vašega mešalnika.
- Čiščenje: Za čiščenje zunanjosti mešalnika uporabite mehko, suho krpo. Za trdovratno umazanijo rahloamp cloth with mild soap can be used, ensuring no liquid enters the unit. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Zaščita pred prahom: Keep the mixer covered when not in use to prevent dust and grime from accumulating, especially around the sealed rotary controls.
- Shranjevanje: If storing the mixer for an extended period, ensure it is in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.
- Upravljanje kablov: Use proper cable management to prevent strain on connectors and accidental disconnections.
