The Mackie 1402-VLZ3 is only slightly larger than Mackie's 1202 model,
yet delivers even more powerful features, ratcheting it into that next
level of professionalism. Enjoy two additional mic/line channels,
smooth faders instead of knobs, and an even stronger master section for
your tone-sculpting delight. Six of Mackie's acclaimed XDR2 mic preamps
are the heart of this mixer, delivering studio-grade sound wherever you
take your 1402-VLZ3. On the road, on the stage, or in the studio,
you'll always have incredibly powerful, professional sound with your
Mackie 1402-VLZ3!
Tremendous XDR2 Preamps
If you want excellent, professional sound, you need great mic pres -
that's why Mackie put a lot of heart into the design of the 1402-VLZ3's
XDR2 (Extended Dynamic Range) mic preamps. Delivering pure, clean,
studio-grade sound, these pres have an impressively wide frequency
range, especially in the low end, and even at extremely high gain
settings. Switchable phantom power means you can use any of your
favorite microphones with your 1402-VLZ3 and expect incredible,
high-quality sound. While it's true that the VLZ3 mixers have gained an
excellent reputation for more than just their mic pres, we can't help
but attribute some of that fame to the XDR2's superb design.
Premium musical EQ section
The 1402-VLZ3 features an ultra-musical 3-band active EQ for tweaking
and sculpting your signature sound. Mackie spent time optimizing the
center frequencies of these EQs, and it shows on the 1402-VLZ3: enjoy
low shelving at 80Hz, mid-peaking at 2.5kHz, and high shelving at 12kHz
to shape your sound in any direction. Plus, up to 15dB boost/cut per
band gives you an even higher level of flexibility and tone-sculpting
control!
Ultra-compact and professional
It's hard to believe that Mackie packed so much 14-channel flexibility
into one ten-pound mixer! With its array of ins, outs, and professional
features, your 1402-VLZ3 is ready to tackle practically any audio
mixing challenge the future presents. You will enjoy 75Hz low-cut
filters, two aux sends, inserts, phantom power, constant-loudness pan
controls, and pre fader solo on every mic channel. A full complement of
output options include a control room/phones source matrix, master aux
section with EFX to monitor, tape outputs, a high-volume headphone
amplifier, and balanced XLR and TRS outs! Other premium features on the
1402-VLZ3 include an assignable solo AFL/PFL switch, independent left
and right main output faders, and a level set LED. Plus, with its
clever "mute" button, signals from muted channels are secretly routed
to the Alt 3-4 outputs - ideal for creating submixes, previewing
channels, or creating a "mix minus" for broadcast applications! And
that's not to mention that, with the push of a button, the Alt 3-4 mix
can be assigned to the main output - meaning, the alt 3-4 can basically
act very much like a mixer within a mixer, giving you even more control
over your sound.
Sleek, rugged design
Professionals around the world choose Mackie mixers for their
road-proven, time-tested design. These 1402-VLZ3 Mixers are the same
Mackie workhorses we've come to expect, designed to take some serious
abuse, yet keep on sounding their best. With Mackie's legendary
solid-steel chassis that protects it from any tough knocks, your
1402-VLZ3's control knobs even ride just above the surface of the
chassis, transferring potential impact to the chassis - and not to the
vital circuit board. Thick, horizontally mounted fiberglass PC boards
add to the 1402-VLZ3's brick-like construction, giving it a
shock-absorbing support structure that's truly built to last.
