Introduction The 60-VZ PO is the latest update of our C60-VZ, incorporating 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. ike all Mackie mixers, the 60-VZ PO 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, 6 aux sends (with 3-/-6 shift switch), and extensive routing capabilities. No matter what the application, the 60-VZ PO can be configured for optimal use. As a tabletop mixer, input/output jacks can be positioned at the rear of the unit, or with the optional otopod Kit (P60-VZ), positioned on the same plane as the controls. Placed in a rack system, the 60-VZ PO can be set so that jacks are facing front (using the otopod kit) or facing the rear to keep wandering hands from playing with cords. Whether used in a permanent installation, or as a portable mixer, the 60-VZ PO is completely at home. Built like a tank, the 60-VZ PO is a team player that can stand up to vigorous use, day in and day out, any place it is installed. Its sturdy-yetlight steel monocoque construction houses rugged, double-sided through-hole-plated fiberglass circuit boards, and 60mm 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 Continued on Page P60-VZ otopod bracket kit, 60-VZ Dirt Avert Ballistic Nylon Dust Cover, 60-VZ Fabric Mixer Bag and 60-VZ Suede Mixer Bag for 60-VZ PO. -inch and 8-inch unning ight Gooseneck lamps. 0-VZ PO -Channel Mic/ine Mixer, 0-VZ PO -Channel Mic/ine Mixer, 6-VZ PO 6-Channel Mic/ine Mixer, SM30/SM0 Active -Way S oudspeakers, M 800/M 00i/M 00 Power Amplifiers, C00/ C300z passive -way S oudspeakers 6-Channel Mic/ine Mixer Features 6 low noise/high headroom XD (Extended Dynamic ange) X mic inputs with the best FI rejection of any compact mixer design and maximum freedom from ground loops. 6 balanced/unbalanced mono line inputs True -bus design Multi-way physical configuration via rotatable I/O pod, or optional otopod Kit (P60-VZ) Inserts on all channels Direct outs on channels 8 3-band EQ with sweepable mids 7Hz, 8dB/oct. ow Cut filter on each channel PF/AF (Solo In-Place) on all channels (global) Very ow Impedance (VZ) architecture Control oom/phones source matrix 6 aux sends, with master level controls Wide input gain range with virtual pad Stereo main outputs plus mono main output with separate level control Balanced inputs and outputs (except CAs, phones & inserts) evel set ED and marker Applications ive sound mixing for churches, clubs, schools, conference centers, boardrooms, tradeshows, presentations Keyboard, drum machine and DJ Multitrack studio and field recording A/V presentations, video post production, CD authoring, multimedia ive broadcast remotes, ENG, ad production

(9.kg) at regular intervals to mount thick fiberglass circuit boards inside the mixer. adio frequency interference from TV/radio stations and cellular phone users is virtually eliminated, thanks to Mackie s new XD mic preamp design. 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 and misuse. Multi-user applications like churches, night clubs, A/V rooms and schools are perfect homes for the 60-VZ PO. Sixteen XD mic preamps deliver the finest quality sound ever offered in a compact mixer. They cannot be damaged by hot patching. And they are impedance-independent: frequency response remains the same whether the mic preamp is presented with an extremely high or low-impedance load. Additionally, each channel has its own switchable low cut filter (8dB/octave @ 7Hz), 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 -, 3- 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 -, 3-, main mix or Aux eturn 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 Specifications footnotes: ) 0Hz 0kHz bandwidth, /" Main out, Channel Trims @ unity gain, channel EQs flat, all channels assigned to Main Mix, odd channels Pan left, even channels Pan right. eference +dbu. ) khz @ +dbu, 0Hz 0kHz. 3) khz relative to 0dBu, 0Hz 0kHz bandwidth, ine in, " Main Out, Trim @ unity. ) Any input to any output.
a cry room, lobby, or other such place. For that matter, the 60-VZ PO s Mono Main Out has its own level control, so a mono mix can be sent to another zone and adjusted accordingly. The 60-VZ PO has six aux sends, in a fourknob per channel strip format with Aux Sends & switchable pre- or post-fader, and the next two knobs switchable between Aux Sends 3 & or & 6 (all four are 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 3
by switching to AF; the 60-VZ PO s constantpower pan pots maintain a consistent loudness across the stereo horizon. og-taper 60mm faders deliver a consistent fade throughout the fader s throw, so choppy fade-ins and fade-outs are history. These faders have a copolymer 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 60-VZ PO is designed for continuous, hassle-free use in any application or installation. And it s packed with useful features and practical routing capabilities. Simply stated, this mixer offers more features, more peace of mind and more possibilities than any mixer in its class.
