Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.
[. . . ] Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. [. . . ] The channelâs PAN and Fader settings have no effect on the SOLO signal. Signal before the fader If you have a channelâs fader set well below âUâ (unity gain), SOLO wonât know that and will send a unity gain signal to the PHONES output. ASSIGN
Used in conjunction with the PAN knob, ASSIGN determines the final destination of a channelâs signal. Engaging ASSIGN 1-2, for instance, sends that channelâs signal to the SUB 1 and 2 Faders and, via their SUB ASSIGN switches, the MAIN MIX Fader . typically , ASSIGN 1-2 will be engaged on all channels destined for the main mix. By configuring SUB 1 and 2 to feed the main mix, the channel ASSIGN 1-2 switches become the equivalent of being âMain Mixâ switches. Some channels can use ASSIGN 3-4 instead; creating a submix for a set of channels (all the drum channels, for instance). Then, by configuring SUB 3 and 4 to also feed the main mix, you can ârideâ the SUB 3 and 4 Faders independently of the rest of the mix. sUB Faders , SUB ASSIGN , and MAIN MIX Fader will explain this further. -15

MASTER SECTION FEATURES
We hope youâve understood, if not memorized, the CHANNEL STRIP FEATURES you just read. If youâre still confused, please look them over again before you tackle this section. Donât worry, itâs easy to swallow as long as you take it a bite at a time. A â+4â mixer, with a +4 dBu signal pouring out the back, will actually display 0 dB on its meters. A ââ10â mixer, with a â10 dBV signal trickling out, will also display 0 dB. At the risk of creating another standard, Mackieâs compact mixers address the need of both crowds by calling things as they are: 0 dBu (0. (By the way, the most wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from. )
MAIN MIX FADER
As the name implies, this stereo fader controls the levels of signals sent to the main . The outputs: XLR and TRS MAIN OUT TAPE OUTPUT RCA jacks also receive the main mix, but before the MAIN MIX Fader. Signals feeding the MAIN MIX Fader, after passing through the STEREO GRAPHIC EQ , , MAIN INSERT , include: SUB ASSIGN STEREO EFX RETURN 1 and 2 (including the EMAC EFFECTS PROCESSOR ), and TAPE INPUT . All assigned SUB Faders and EFX RETURNs that are not turned fully down will appear in the MAIN MIX. This is the fader to pull down at the end of the song when you want The Great Fade-Out. RUDE SOLO
This infamous flashing LED (Light Emitting Diode) serves two purposes â- to remind you switch is enthat at least one SOLO PFL gaged, and to let you know that youâre mixing on a Mackie.
