설정

1. 개봉 및 검사

Carefully remove the mixer from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.

2. 전원 연결

Connect the provided power adapter to the mixer's power input and then to a suitable electrical outlet. The mixer features a multi-voltage power supply for global compatibility. Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting.

3. 오디오 연결

Connect your microphones, instruments, and other audio sources to the appropriate input jacks on the mixer. The 1402-VLZ3 offers:

• 마이크 입력(채널 1-6): XLR connectors for microphones. These channels feature XDR2 mic preamps and phantom power.
• 라인 입력(채널 1-6): 1/4-inch TRS/TS connectors for line-level signals.
• 스테레오 라인 입력(채널 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14): 1/4-inch TRS/TS connectors for stereo line-level sources.
• 주요 출력 : Balanced XLR and 1/4-inch TRS outputs for connecting to power amplifier 또는 녹음 장치.
• 제어실 출력: 1/4-inch TRS outputs for monitoring.
• ALT 3-4 Outputs: 1/4-inch TRS outputs for submixes.
• Tape Inputs/Outputs: 녹음 장치 연결용 RCA 커넥터.
• Channel Inserts (Channels 1-6): 1/4-inch TRS jacks for connecting external processors to individual channels.

4. 랙 장착 (선택 사항)

The 1402-VLZ3 can be rack-mounted using an optional rack ear kit (sold separately). When installing the rack ears, it may be necessary to use longer screws than those originally provided with the mixer. Specifically, M3.5-0.6 x 8 metric zinc pan head Phillips machine screws are recommended for secure attachment.

작동 지침

1. 채널 제어

Each input channel (1-14) features controls for adjusting the audio signal:

• 얻다: Adjusts the input sensitivity for microphones and line-level sources. The XDR2 mic preamps offer a 60dB gain range.
• Lo-Cut Filter (Mic Channels 1-6): Engages an 18dB/octave 75Hz high-pass filter to reduce unwanted low-frequency rumble.
• EQ(균형 조정): 3-band active EQ with controls for High (12kHz), Mid (2.5kHz), and Low (80Hz) frequencies. Each band offers up to 15dB of boost or cut.
• Aux Sends (Aux 1 & Aux 2): Controls the amount of signal sent to the auxiliary outputs for effects or monitor mixes.
• 팬: 스테레오 필드(좌우) 내에서 채널 신호의 위치를 ​​지정합니다.
• 무음: Silences the channel's signal from the main mix. When muted, the signal is routed to the ALT 3-4 bus.
• Solo (PFL): Pre-Fader Listen. Routes the channel's signal to the headphones and control room outputs for monitoring without affecting the main mix.
• Level Fader: 채널의 전체 출력 레벨을 메인 믹스에 맞춰 조정합니다.

2. 마스터 섹션 제어

The master section provides overall control for the mixer's outputs:

• Main Mix Faders (Left & Right): 메인 스테레오 믹스의 전체 출력 레벨을 조절합니다.
• Control Room/Submix Fader: Adjusts the level of the Control Room/Phones output. Can also be used to control the level of the ALT 3-4 submix when assigned to the main output.
• 헤드폰 레벨 : 헤드폰 출력의 볼륨을 조절합니다.
• 팬텀 전원(+48V): Activates +48V phantom power for condenser microphones connected to mic inputs 1-6.
• Level Set LED: Indicates optimal input gain settings.
• ALT 3-4 Bus: This feature allows signals muted from the main mix to be routed to a separate stereo bus (ALT 3-4 outputs). This can be used to create additional auxiliary sends or submixes. The ALT 3-4 mix can also be assigned back to the main output.

유지

청소

To maintain the performance and appearance of your Mackie 1402-VLZ3 mixer, regularly clean its surfaces. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and grime. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the controls or openings. The mixer features sealed rotary controls designed to resist dust and grime ingress.

내구성

The 1402-VLZ3 is constructed with a solid-steel chassis and horizontally mounted fiberglass PC boards for enhanced durability and impact resistance. Control knobs are designed to 'ride' just above the chassis surface, transferring impact to the chassis rather than the potentiometers or circuit board.

문제 해결

If you encounter issues with your mixer, consider the following:

• 전원 없음: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the mixer and a working electrical outlet. Check the power switch.
• 소리 없음:
  • Verify all input sources are connected correctly and are active.
  • Check channel gain and level faders are set appropriately.
  • Ensure channel Mute buttons are disengaged.
  • Confirm Main Mix faders are raised.
  • Check connections to your ampliifier 또는 녹음 장치.
  • Verify phantom power is enabled for condenser microphones.
• 왜곡된 소리:
  • Reduce input gain if the Level Set LED indicates clipping.
  • 소스와 입력 간의 임피던스 정합이 적절한지 확인하십시오.
  • 케이블 상태가 양호한지 확인하십시오.
• 윙윙거리는 소리 또는 소음:
  • 모든 케이블 연결이 제대로 연결되어 있는지 확인하세요.
  • 모든 장비의 적절한 접지를 확인하세요.
  • Engage the Lo-Cut filter on mic channels if low-frequency rumble is present.
