Mackie 1402-VLZ3 User Manual

1402-

VLZ3

Just in case you lose the cord provided with the 1402-

VLZ3, its power jack accepts a standard  3-prong IEC 
cord like those found on most professional recorders, 
musical instruments, and computers. 

WARNING: Before you plug the AC power 

cord into the 1402-VLZ3, you must make sure 
that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR [20] slide 

switch is set to the same voltage as your local AC mains 
supply. 

WARNING: Disconnecting the plug’s ground 

pin can be dangerous. Please don’t do it.

The 1402-VLZ3 is fused for your (and its own) protec-

tion. If you suspect a blown fuse, disconnect the cord, 
pull the fuse drawer out (located just below the cord 
receptacle) and replace the fuse with a 500 mA (0.5 
amps) SLO BLO 5x20 mm, available at electronics 
stores or your dealer. If your local voltage is 220-240 
VAC, use a 250 mA fuse.

If two fuses blow in a row, something is very wrong. 

Please call our toll-free number 1-800-898-3211 from 
within the U.S. (or call the distributor in your country) 
and fi nd out what to do.

WARNING: Before you plug the AC power 

cord into the 1402-VLZ3, you must make sure 
that this slide switch is set to the same volt-

age as your local AC main supply. Only slide the voltage 
switch with the power cord unplugged.

Use a small fl at-headed screwdriver to slide the switch 

if needed. The switch allows you to use the mixer in dif-
ferent countries and voltages, meet interesting people 
from other cultures, and entertain them with your 
unique blend of Rockabilly Funkadelia Thrash Metal.

Press the top of this rocker switch inwards to turn on 

the mixer. The power LED on the top surface of the mix-
er will glow with happiness, or at least it will if you have 
the mixer plugged in to a suitable live AC mains supply.

Press the bottom of this switch to turn off the mixer, 

whenever you feel that this would be a safe thing to do. 
Half-way through Mad Mike's Heavy Metal guitar solo 
might not be such a good time. 

As a general guide, you should turn on your mixer 

fi rst, before the power amplifi er or powered speakers, 
and turn it off last. This will reduce the possibilities of 
any turn-on, or turn-off thumps in your speakers. 

This global rocker switch controls the phantom power 

supply for condenser microphones plugged into channel 
MIC [1] inputs (see page 8).

Press the top of the switch inwards to engage phan-

tom power to the six MIC inputs. Press the bottom of 
the switch to turn it off.

When turned on (or off), the phantom power circuitry 

takes a few moments for voltage to ramp up (or down). 
This is perfectly normal.
