MIXER ANATOMY: CHAPTER 2

Inputs, Outputs, and Related Controls

Mackie E-Z Interfacing

Concerned about levels, balancing, impedance,

polarity, or other interface goblins? Don’t be. On

your Mackie mixer, you can connect almost anything

almost anywhere, with nary a care. Here’s why:

• Every main input and output is balanced .

• Every 1/4" input and output jack also accepts

unbalanced connections.

• Every input is designed to accept virtually any

output impedance.

• The main left and right mix outputs can de-

liver +28 dBu into a 600 ohm load (that’s hot!)

• All the other outputs can deliver +22 dBu into

a 600 ohm load (that’s plenty).

• All the outputs are in phase with the inputs.

All Mackie mixers have both microphone and line-

level inputs. Some channels have both, some chan-

nels have only line-level inputs. Consult your mixer’s

quick start guide (or just look at the connector

panel) for the exact arrangement. Below is the rear

panel of the 1604-VLZ PRO.

Mic? Line? – What’s The Difference?

Microphones produce a relatively low

voltage, generally in the range of 1 to 250

millivolts, depending on the sensitivity of

the mic, and how loud the sound is. Voltages in the

0.15 to 3 volt range are considered to be line-level.

These aren’t rules or standards, just ways of talking

about two widely different operating voltage ranges,

both of which are common in audio.

A microphone typically requires 20 to 60 dB of gain

in order to bring its signal up to the mixer’s operat-

ing level. A line-level signal requires little if any gain,

and may need to be brought down in level to match

the mixer. So, while there’s a wide adjustment range

for both mic and line inputs, the mic inputs have

higher gain.

Don’t forget the Level-Setting Proce-

dure at the beginning of this book. Mic

and line inputs are happiest when run-

ning at the optimum levels. That procedure will get

you there.

Check the Tips section and Glossary for more infor-

mation about terms we’ll be using here like operating

level, impedance, balanced, unbalanced, XLR, and

TRS. Also study the mixer block diagrams, as each

one is worth a thousand words or more.

Mic Inputs

Mackie mixers include phantom-powered, bal-

anced XLR microphone inputs just like the big studio

mega-consoles, and for exactly the same reason:

A fully balanced circuit is excellent at rejecting

hum and noise, and phantom powering means that

condenser mics can be used without external power

supplies or batteries.

You can plug in almost any kind of mic that has a

standard male XLR-type connector without fear of

overloading the preamp. Professional ribbon, dy-

namic, and condenser mics all sound great through

these inputs.

XLR Input Connectors – Mic wiring

Nearly all professional mics are designed to con-

nect to a low impedance input, and employ balanced

wiring terminating in an XLR-style plug. You’ll ﬁ nd an

illustration and wiring diagram in the Tips section,

chapter 9. We use the wiring convention:

Pin 1 = shield

Pin 2 = positive (+ or hot)

Pin 3 = negative (- or cold)
