How to Set Phones for a Mackie 1202-VLZ3
The Mackie 1202-VLZ3 is suitable for recording or live sound for a small group. It has four XLR microphone inputs and four stereo line inputs. It's portable, weighing 6.5 pounds with height and width each measuring less than 12 inches. Each channel has a three-band equalizer with an additional low-cut filter on the four channels with microphone inputs. The small size of the mixer doesn't leave enough space for every possible feature. One of the items the 1202-VLZ3 lacks is a separate headphone volume control. The control room volume knob sets the headphone levels.
