| | Product Information: | Mackie 1202 VLZ3 Stereo MixerPrice Drop!
The Mackie 1202-VLZ3 Premium 12 Channel Compact Mixer builds on the legacy of the ever popular 1202-VLZ Pro, offering the same great features, plus greatly enhanced sound quality.
The 1202-VLZ3 features four studio class XDR2 (Extended Dynamic Range) microphone preamps, along with Mackie’s proprietary Active three-band EQ circuitry, give the 1202-VLZ3 its high-headroom, low-noise functionality. The 1202-VLZ3 is the model of efficiency, packing more features into its small footprint than any other mixer in this class. With its outstanding sound quality, just the right amount of control, and multi-voltage power supply, the 1202-VLZ3 is the perfect choice for smaller mixing applications.
Mackie 1202-VLZ3 Features - 12-channel ultra-low noise compact mixer with highest possible headroom
- 4 studio-grade XDR2 Extended Dynamic Range mic preamps with:
- Ultra-wide 60dB gain range
- 130dB dynamic range
- +22dBu line input handling
- Extended low frequency response
- Distortion under 0.0007% (20Hz 20kHz)
- Phantom power for studio condenser mics
- 12 high-headroom line inputs
- Advanced DC pulse transformer RF rejection
- 2 Aux s, level, pan and PFL solo on each channel
- 2 stereo Aux returns + EFX to Monitor
- 3-band Active EQ (80Hz, 2.5kHz, 12kHz)
- 18dB/oct. 75Hz Lo-Cut filter on Mic input channels
- ALT 3/4 stereo bus for added versatility
- Control Room/Phones source matrix
- Rack-mountable design using optional rack ears
- Sealed rotary controls to resist dust and grime
- New Multi-Voltage power supply for worldwide use
- Rugged steel chassis
- Includes Tracktion 3 Music Production Software for Mac or PC
While it keeps all the features and functionality of its predecessor, the Mackie 1202-VLZ3 offers even greater headroom versus the original. Mackie could have stopped right then and there, but they are obsessed with perfection. So they redesigned the Mix Bus, tweaked the EQs, and created a mixer with a highly intuitive, musical feel.
Vastly Superior XDR2 Mic Preamps
The 1202 VLZ3's new XDR2 (Extended Dynamic Range) second-generation mic preamps are better than ever. These new pres offer incredibly low noise, with individual mic pre THD below 0.0007%, and overall mixer THD less than 0.0025%. With 60dB of available gain per channel, the 1202-VLZ3 can handle inputs ranging from a whisper to a scream, and can even handle hot line-level signals up to +22db, without any added coloration. You simply won’t find preamps this good on any other mixer in this price range.
Equalization
Mackie invested tremendous resources optimizing the center frequencies of their 3-band Active EQs. By selecting 80Hz, 2.5kHz and 12kHz, for the Lows, Mids and Highs, respectively, they created an even more musical EQ than on previous VLZs. With up to 15dB boost/cut capability per band, VLZ3’s Active EQ provides more tone-sculpting latitude than any other mixer in its class.
Professional Features
The Mackie 1202-VLZ3 is packed with premium features on every mic channel: 75Hz Low-Cut filters, two Aux s, inserts, phantom power, constant-loudness Pan controls and Pre Fader Solo. And since you can never have too many output options, Mackie provided 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 outputs.
Need Even More Flexibility?
Greg Mackie's mind was working overtime when he originally came up with this—instead of ing muted signals into the vacuum of space, why not do something useful with them? So, when youthe mute button on the 1202-VLZ3, the signal is indeed muted—but it also appears at the ALT 3-4 output jacks and ALT 3-4 stereo bus. This is an ideal way to create additional Aux s and mixes for cry rooms, green rooms, or assistive listening, etc. And with aof a button, the ALT 3-4 mix can be assigned to the Main output—which means ALT 3-4 can act very much like a mixer within a mixer.
Versatility
You'll find Mackie mixers everywhere you go—from video post-production facilities, to major artist tour buses, to duty as field mixers for news departments of all the major networks. Drummers and keyboardists use them submixes to front of house and monitor consoles. VLZ3 compact mixers are the ideal choice for any situation requiring superior audio mixing, especially where space and/or budget constraints are an issue.

Hercules DJ Console RMX Features
2 Precise Jog Wheels - Functions
- Emulate vinyl turntables so that turning the jog wheel moves the cursor backward or within music tracks to select the cue point where playback will start for the audience.
- Add effects to music playback such as instant speed up, instant slow down, and scratching.
- Settings
- Adjustable resistance: makes the jog wheels more or less resistant, according to the DJ’s preference.
- Adjustable accuracy: mix with jog wheels set at their default accuracy, or divide it by 2 or 4.
- Use with
- Scratch On/Off button: changes the jog wheels’ function
- Fine tuning: slow down or speed up playback, like when a DJ gives a record a push.
- Scratching: makes a scratch sound, like when a DJ puts his hand on a record during playback (stopping the record’s rotation) and moves it backward and
6 Faders - 1 Cross fader
- DJ Console Rmx plays 1 stereo music track per deck (2 stereo music tracks simultaneously). The cross fader moves between the left and right decks, allowing the DJ to adjust the mix between the 2 tracks.
- Setting the cross fader completely to the right means that the mix (the music the audience hears) comes 100% from the right deck: the audience doesn’t hear the music played on the left deck.
- Setting the cross fader in the center means that the music comes 50% from the left deck and 50% from the right, and so on.
- Adjustable cross fader curve: the DJ Console Rmx control panel menu lets the DJ set the cross fader curve.
- Linear curve: when the cross fader is set at 25% away from its left end, the mix is 75% of the music played on the left deck and 25% of the music played on the right deck.
- Bell curve: when the cross fader is set at 25% away from its left end, the mix is 60% of the music played on the left deck and 40% of the music played on the right deck.
- Short curve: when the cross fader is set at 25% away from its left end, the mix is 50% of the music played on the left deck and 50% of the music played on the right deck.
- The cross fader curve used depends on the DJ’s style of mixing (linear or bell curves are good for smooth transitions, while a short curve is good for sharp transitions).
- 2 Pitch faders
- the pitch =the playback speed of a track, increasing or reducing its BPM (Beats Per Minute) rate, in order to make dancing easy by setting new music tracks at the same BPM as the previous track so that dancers don’t need totheir rhythm during the transition from one track to another.
- Changing the pitch changes the music’s speed and tone: faster means higher tone, slower means lower tone. The DJ can keep the same tone by enabling the master tempo effect before changing the pitch so that the pitch slider only changes the tempo instead of the pitch.
- 3 Volume faders
- Deck A volume fader controls the volume of the music played on deck A.
- Deck B volume fader controls the volume of the music played on deck B.
- Main volume fader controls the master volume.
- Changing the volume on deck A or deck B lets the DJ adjust transitions between the 2 decks.
Rotary controls for adjusting audio - Equalization
- 6 rotary equalization potentiometers (3 per deck: Bass, Medium, and Treble)
- Add color to your music with customs settings:
- Make dancing easier by enhancing the bass (the bass provides the tempo for dancing).
- Remix songs by boosting the mids (the mids contain the singer’s voice) on 1 track and mixing it with another track on the other deck, where you’ve cut the mids.
- Make transitions between 2 music tracks using bass:
- Synchronize the 2 tracks: move the pitch fader to set both tracks at the same BPM.
- Cut off the mids and treble on both decks, keeping only the beat of the bass.
- Move the cross fader from the first deck to the second, while restoring the mids and treble.
- 6 kill buttons (3 per deck: Bass, Medium, and Treble)
- Push the buttons to cut off or restore the frequency band.
- This is a faster way to cut off or restore a frequency band than using the rotary potentiometers.
Gain - 2 rotary gain potentiometers (1 per deck)
- Increase or decrease the level of the tracks on each deck to put the track played on left deck at the same volume as the track played on the right deck, even if they were recorded at different levels. Gain lets the DJ compensate for different levels between tracks so that the volume is the same on both tracks when the volume faders for both tracks are set to the maximum levels.
- When the DJ connects external sources to Deck A (left deck) or B (right deck), setting the gain makes it possible to compensate for differences in volume between external sources and computer audio files.
Balance - 1 rotary balance potentiometer
- Sets the balance of the main output (1-2) between the left and the right channels.
Headphone Controls - 1 rotary Monitor Select potentiometer
- The Monitor Select potentiometer lets the DJ select the music played on the headphone output, either:
- Previewing (the track selected with the Cue Select buttons), or Deck A + Deck B
- Or a mix of the 2 tracks, when the Monitor Select position is between these 2 settings.
- 2 Cue Select buttons (1 per deck)
- Selects the deck the DJ previews on the headphones: Cue Select Deck A or Cue Select Deck B.
- 1 rotary Headphone volume potentiometer
- Sets the volume on the headphone output, whether the headphones are plugged into the top or front panel of the controller.
Microphone Controls - 1 rotary Microphone volume potentiometer
- Sets the volume of the microphone input.
- 1 Microphone On/Off button, with talk-over control
- Enables/mutes the microphone, and simultaneously attenuates/restores the background music level.
Plus:
DJ buttons for instant DJ'ing controls - Push Buttons
- Source Buttons
- Pitch Settings
- Play/Pause, Cue & Stop
- Backward/
- Effects & Loops: Buttons 1 to 6
Audio interface tailored for DJ'ing - 4 Audio Inputs

What’s latency? Latency is the delay caused by the time it takes your guitar signal to travel all the way through your hardware interface, through your computer’s processor, through your plug-in software, back through your hardware interface and out of your speakers or headphones. This delay is heard in your monitoring signal and makes recording almost impossible. With a POD Studio UX1 interface, latency is something you’ll never have to deal with.
