Low noise and high headroom are important for clear, dynamic mixes. No matter what your application, the Micro Series 1202VLZ’s Very Low Impedance architecture – based on that of our large 8 Bus consoles – delivers professional sound. For the same reasons, the mic preamps Mackie uses are studio grade, low noise/high headroom inputs. Plus, 48V phantom power gives you full compatibility with your favorite microphones – dynamic or condenser. To rid your mics of wind noise and mic thumps, each of the four mic channels has a Low Cut Filter that eliminates subsonic noise. Lo shelving EQ can now be used for the upper low frequencies, instead of as a makeshift low frequency cut-off. To make level-setting simple, the 1202-VLZ has PFL Solo on every channel. That, along with the Level Set Marker at the 1202’s ultra-sensitive L/R LEDs, lets you take advantage of our VLZ design and maximize headroom. Don’t have room for an outboard equalizer? The ® 1202-VLZ’s musical 3-band EQ will take care of it. We chose 12kHz, 2.5kHz and 80Hz to make our EQ more practical to the needs of today’s sound engineers – not those of thirty years ago.
