We realize that you must have a powerful

hankerin’ to try out your new 1642-VLZ

PRO.

Or you might be one of those people who

never reads manuals. Either way, all we ask

is that you read this page NOW, and the rest

can wait until you’re good and ready. But do

read it — you’ll be glad you did.

Other Nuggets of Wisdom

For optimum sonic performance, the channel

faders and the

MAIN MIX

fader should be set

near the “

U

” (unity gain) markings.

Always turn down the

MAIN MIX

fader and

CONTROL ROOM

and

PHONES

knobs before

making connections to your 1642-VLZ

PRO.

If you shut down your equipment, turn off

your amplifiers first. When powering up, turn

on your amplifiers last.

Save the shipping box! You may need it

someday, and you don’t want to have to pay for

another one.

LEVEL-SETTING PROCEDURE

Message to seasoned pros: do NOT set levels

using the old “Turn the trim up until the clip

light comes on, then back off a hair” trick. When a

Mackie Designs mixer clip light comes on, you

really are about to clip.

This procedure really works — it assures

low noise and high headroom. Please read on.

It’s not even necessary to hear what you’re do-

ing to set optimal levels. But if you’d like to: Plug

headphones into the

PHONES

output jack,

then set the

PHONES

knob about one-quar-

ter of the way up.

The following steps must be performed one

channel at a time:

1. Turn the

TRIM

,

AUX

send and fader

controls fully down.

2. Be sure the

1–2

,

3–4

and

L/R

channel

assignment switches are all disengaged.

3. Set the

EQ

knobs at the center detents.

4. Connect the signal source to the

MIC

or

LINE

channel input.

5. Engage (push in) the channel’s

SOLO

switch.

6. Push in the

MODE

switch in the output

section (

LEVEL SET (PFL)

mode) — the

LEVEL SET

LED will light.

7. Play something into the selected input, at

real-world levels.

8. Adjust the

TRIM

control so that the

display on the meter stays around “0.”

(Only the left meter is active in the

Level-Setting Procedure.)

9. If you’d like to apply some

EQ

, do so

now and return to the previous step.

10. Disengage that channel’s

SOLO

switch.

11 . Repeat for each channel.
