Emmanuel Delahaye « Muscular version of the 402 »
Published on 04/12/14 at 12:18Non rackmount analog mixer.
3 XLR mic input (with switchable phantom power supply globally)
On the first two (1 and 2), input lines (normal / HiZ) with inserts.
On the 3rd (3-4), stereo line input, as well as the 4th and 5th (5-6 and 7-8).
Correctors 3 bands (non-parametric)
Input gain, mute and PFL through.
A (post pre /) Aux (or effect return)
Mixing and general rotary potentiometer.
Main XLR outputs (switchable mic or line level, as a DI) or TRS
Auxiliary mono output with separate return to stereo L / R. (External effect)
Headphone jack with adjustable level, VU meter 12 LED exit 'Control Room' on Jacks (same headphone).
Separated. Food
Please note a curious system that I have not yet experienced.
When the MUTE switch is active, the track is actually redirected to a "alternative output '(3-4) or' sub 3-4 'to a L3/R4 output TRS jack. There are in addition a system of routing twisted enough ... There should be a utility that I have not raised ... I'll see to use.
UTILIZATION
No problem if using analog consoles are known. Only the use of sub 3-4 is a bit obscure. It should probably read the manual, I will hasten to load on my tablet for the whole doc at hand moving ... (but I recommend experimenting with obscure points quietly home away from panic. ..)
SOUNDS
Its very 'right', the Mackie ...
Basic, but effective corrective. A dose carefully ...
OVERALL OPINION
I just bought it, but I already have a Mackie 402 VLZ3 and a CFX20 MKII. I sail on familiar ground ...
For the intended use (mini trio sound and mixer stage), there is nothing better for me at the moment. I can plug my 2 strings high impedance sensors, micro voice more and if necessary, 2 HF on line inputs! And use premix stage to get a pair of XLR cables, direct, no need to even DI!
Note that it fits perfectly in a suitcase of 390x230x75 mm (size 2 to 3 promo toolkits pull 'Bricorama') to power.
