La 1202VLZ4 est bien pensée. Taille réduite avec les boutons rotatifs. Elle est très robuste, le rapport signal/bruit est correct. les préamplis sont bons. Le alt 3/4 indispensable avec un patchbay. C'est fiable, sérieux, le son est bon. je l'utilise depuis presque 4 ans, pas de bruits parasites à cause de la poussière.

Ik heb deze mixer ruim 2,5 jaar geleden gekocht voor mijn thuisstudio ter vervanging van een paar jaar oude Behringer.
Het verschil in kwaliteit is duidelijk: geen enkel geruis, de mixer voelt zeer degelijk aan (de metalen behuizing is ook relatief zwaar) en alle draaiknoppen en schakelaars zijn solide en werken naar behoren (1x een beetje contactreiniger in een draaiknop gespoten).

Ook veelzijdig voor stereo gebruik: er zitten 4 stereo kanalen plus 2 stereo returns op dus 6 stereo kanalen met volumeregeling in totaal (plus nog een stereo tape in en uiteraard de 4 mono mic/line kanalen). Er zijn niet veel mixers (ook veel duurdere) die meer stereo kanalen hebben, eerder minder. De mute/alt 3-4 schakeling is ook erg handig.

Een aanrader.

Prima mixer voor zijn geld. Eenvoudig te bedienen. Levering perfect volgens timing
