Introduction. 16-Channel Mic/Line Mixer

Transcription

1 Introduction The 6-VZ P is perfect for applications where more line-level inputs (and fewer mic preamps) are needed. Channels 8 are essentially the same as our -VZ P with mono line-level input and our new ultra-high-quality XD (Extended Dynamic ange) mic preamps with the best FI rejection of any compact mixer design on the market and maximum freedom from ground loops. Channels 9/0 and / (two physical channel strips) each have a stereo pair of line-level inputs and a mono XD mic preamp. Channels / and /6 (also in two physical channel strips) each have a stereo pair of line-level inputs only with fixed four-band equalization at points that are especially beneficial to line-level inputs such as keyboards. ike all of Mackie Designs mixers, the 6-VZ P is designed for rugged, -hour-a-day use. It is a supremely flexible mixer, not just because of its multiple input/output configurations, but because of its true -bus architecture, aux sends, and extensive routing capabilities. Built like a tank, the 6-VZ P is a team player that can stand up to vigorous use, day in and day out, any place it is installed. Its sturdy-yet-light steel monocoque construction houses rugged, double-sided through-holeplated fiberglass circuit boards, and mm faders with ultra-tight lip seals for keeping out dust and other contaminants. Impact-resistant knobs are mounted so they ride just above the steel chassis they absorb impact without trouble. They re designed to last, too, thanks to co-molded potentiometers that don t get brittle and crack up. Then we use metal stand-offs at regular intervals to mount thick fiberglass circuit boards inside the mixer.

The mixer s built-in power supply is beefy enough to handle major power consumption without breaking up. And there s no bulky wall wart to be kicked out of place or to cover up extra outlets. All of this adds up to an extremely durable mixer that can withstand major use. Multi-user venues such as churches, night clubs, A/V rooms and schools are perfect homes for the 6-VZ P. Ten XD mic preamps deliver the finest quality sound ever offered in a compact mixer. They cannot be damaged by hot patching. And they are imped-

Additionally, mic channels ( through 8, 9/0, & /) have their own switchable low cut filter Hz), so mic thumps, room rumble and stage mishaps are left out of the mix without diminishing the audible bass frequency range. Four buses add mixing flexibility. Channels can be assigned to buses -, - and/or Main Mix /, and the subs can be assigned to left and/or right main mix. A Control oom/phones source matrix lets you route any combination of tape, subs -, -, main mix or Aux to headphones, control room outputs, and meters. This enables you to monitor -track tape output or route a click/cue track to phones, create special phones or broadcast mixes via the subs, or create an extra stereo mix (with its own gain control) for another zone, like a cry room, lobby, or other such place. The 6-VZ P s mono main out also has its own level control, so a mono mix can be sent to another zone and adjusted accordingly. The mixer has four aux sends per channel strip with Aux Sends & switchable pre- or post-fader and Aux Sends & post-fader. Solo has its own volume control and is switchable from AF (In-Place) to PF. evel setting is easy in PF, especially when used in conjunction with the mixer s level set ED and marker (near the -segment stereo ED ladder). Check a channel s stereo placement by switching to AF; the 6-VZ P s constant-loudness pan pots maintain a consistent loudness across the stereo horizon. og-taper mm faders deliver a consistent fade throughout the fader s throw, so choppy fadeins and fade-outs are history. These faders have a co-polymer membrane that provides a continuously sealed barrier against dust and liquids without interfering with fader travel. Similarly, the fader s long-wearing contact material (first designed for use in exterior automotive sensors) means longer fader life and improved resistance to the elements. The 6-VZ P is designed for continuous, hassle-free use in any application or installation where extra line-level inputs are useful. And it s packed with useful features and practical routing capabilities. Simply stated, this mixer offers features, peace of mind and excellent performance at an extremely affordable price. And it s a Mackie!
