EXPANDER PORT
Need 24 more channels without buying a
completely new board? Mackie has made provi-
sions for a 24-channel Expander Console, the
(24•E), which can be plugged into the Ex-
pander Port (5). Basically, it’s 24 more channel
strips with inputs that feed your existing 8•Bus
console submasters. Consult your Mackie dealer
or the factory for more information.
DC POWER IN
This is where the funny plug that looks like a
Supersoaker squirtgun nozzle fits (6). Your 8•Bus
console should ONLY be powered by the appropriate
Mackie 8•Bus Power Supply.
This concludes our guided tour of the 8•Bus
console’s controls and connections. Now it’s time for
hands-on use!
