1402-VLZ PRO PATCHBAY DESCRIPTION
At the risk of stating the obvious, this is
where you plug everything in: microphones,
line-level instruments and effects, head-
phones, and the ultimate destination for your
sound: a tape recorder, PA system, etc.
MIC INPUTS (Channels 1–6)
We use phantom-powered, balanced micro-
phone inputs just like the big studio
mega-consoles, for exactly the same reason:
This kind of circuit is excellent at rejecting
hum and noise. You can plug in almost any
kind of mic that has a standard XLR-type male
mic connector.
To learn how signals are
routed from these inputs: . If you wire your
own, connect them like this:

Pin 1 = Ground or shield
Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 = Negative (– or cold)
Professional ribbon, dynamic and condenser
mics will all sound excellent through these in-
puts. The 1402-VLZ
PRO’s mic inputs will
handle any kind of mic level you can toss at
them, without overloading. Be sure to perform
the Level Setting Procedure: .
PHANTOM POWER
Most modern professional condenser mics
are equipped for Phantom Power, which lets
the mixer send low-current DC voltage to the
mic’s electronics through the same wires that
carry audio. (Semi-pro condenser mics often
have batteries to accomplish the same thing.)
“Phantom” owes its name to an ability to be
“unseen” by dynamic mics (Shure SM57/SM58,
for instance), which don’t need external power
and aren’t affected by it anyway.
The 1402-VLZ PRO’s phantom power is glo-
bally controlled by the PHANTOM switch on
the rear panel .
Never plug single-ended
(unbalanced) micro-
phones or instruments
into the
MIC IN jacks if the
PHANTOM power is on.
Do not plug instrument outputs into the
MIC IN jacks with PHANTOM power on unless
you know for certain it is safe to do so.
