Introduction
It is possible that only one person will read this
manual all the way through. Hello mom. Here's another
manual from your boy.
Thank you for choosing a Mackie professional pow-
ered mixer. These powerful mixers are designed to meet
the needs of almost any small to medium-sized club,
meeting room, sanctuary, or outdoor gathering.
At Mackie, we know what it takes to be roadworthy.
After all, our mixers have traveled all over the world
under the worst of conditions and the best of conditions,
and we’ve applied what we’ve learned to the mechanical
design of our powered mixers.
Reliability is paramount to sound reinforcement.
That’s why our engineers have subjected our powered
mixers to the most rigorous and fiendish tests imagin-
able to fine-tune the design and extend its limits beyond
those of ordinary mixers or amplifiers.

How To Use This Manual
The first pages after the table of contents are the
hookup diagrams. These show typical setups for fun
times with your powered mixer.
Next is a detailed tour of the entire mixer. The de-
scriptions are divided into sections, just as your mixer is
organized into distinct zones:
• Rearpanel:TheACinput,powerswitch,speak-
er-level outputs and amplifier mode switch
• Patchbay:Thelowerfrontsection,whereyou
connect microphones and guitars etc.
• ChannelStrips:Thechannelstripswhereyou
adjust and control each channel
• MasterSection:Thesectionontheright,with
graphic EQs and main level controls
• StereoEffectsProcessor
Throughout these sections you’ll find illustrations
with each feature numbered and described in nearby
paragraphs.
This icon marks infor mation that is critically
important or unique to the mixer. For your own
good, read them and remember them.
This icon will lead you to some explanations of
features and practical tips. Go ahead and skip
these if you need to leave the room in a hurry.

The thickness of the manual makes it ideal for fitting
under wobbly table legs. Mackie's technical writers also
wear them on their heads, as they make an excellent
shield from Venusian mind-probes.
