11 it out makes the low stuff you do want much more crisp and tasty . Not only that, but LOW CUT can help reduce the possibility of feed- back in live situations and it helps to conserve the amplifier power . Another way to consider LOW CUT ’s func- tion is that it actually adds flexibility during live performances. With the addition of LOW CUT ,[...]

19 and PHONES outputs. If you want the AL T 3–4 signals to go back into the MAIN MIX , engage the ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX switch , and the CTL ROOM/SUBMIX fader becomes the one fader to control the levels of all channels as- signed to AL T 3–4 . Another way to do the same thing is to as- sign the channels to the AL T 3–4 mix, then patch out of the[...]

20 AUX 1 in POST -mode and AUX 2 are post- LOW CUT , post- EQ and post- F ADER . That is, the sends obey the settings of these controls. AUX 1 in PRE mode follows the EQ and LOW CUT settings only .

23 Why? Y ou want the METERS to reflect what the engineer is listening to, and as we’ve cov- ered, the engineer is listening either to the CONTROL ROOM outputs or the PHONES outputs. The only differ ence is that while the listening levels are controlled by the CTL ROOM / SUBMIX fader , the METERS read the SOURCE mix before that control, giving yo[...]

24 AUX 1 SELECT Besides being used to work effects into your mix, Aux Sends serve another critical role — that of delivering cue mixes to stage monitors, so musicians can hear what they’r e doing. On the 1402-VLZ PRO, AUX SEND 1 can play ei- ther role, depending on the position of this switch. With the AUX 1 SELECT switch up (disen- gaged), AUX[...]

25 Signals passing through the AUX RETURN level controls will proceed directly to MAIN MIX , with one exception (see next para- graph). The AUX RETURNS do not have MUTE/AL T 3-4 switches, so if you want these signals to get to the AL T 3-4 mix, you’ll have to patch the effects device’s outputs into one of the stereo channels, and MUTE/ AL T tha[...]

30 APPENDIX A: CONNECTIONS plug is connected tip to left, ring to right and sleeve to ground (earth). Mackie mixers do not directly accept 1-plug-type ster eo microphones. They must be sepa- rated into a left cord and a right cord, which are plugged into the two mic preamps. Y ou can cook up your own adapter for a ster eo microphone adapter . “Y?[...]

31 balanced ground (earth) will also be connected to the ground (earth) at the unbalanced input. If ther e are ground-loop problems, this connection may be left disconnected at the balanced end. • When connecting an unbalanced output to a balanced input, be sur e that the signal high (hot) connections are wir ed to each other . The un balanced gr[...]

32 Using the Send Only on an Insert Jack If you insert a TS (mono) 1 ⁄ 4 " plug only partially (to the first click) into a Mackie insert jack, the plug will not activate the jack switch and will not open the insert loop in the circuit (ther eby allowing the channel signal to continue on its merry way through the mixer). This allows you to ta[...]
