Author Topic: The best manual ever Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-05-2003 03:13 AM                     Seriously here, check out today's update for the Mackie mixer. Many theaters have a mixer and some microphones and maybe a video projector for business meeting rentals and such, and Mackie's manuals are reason enough to support their product. Really, just read the manual. It's hilarious! This has to be one of the best manuals of all time.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

They not only have great manuals, their equipment kicks ass too! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 07-05-2003 08:41 AM                     Brad, this manual is available for download from Mackie in pdf form. You might want to resource it from there. However, I'll put a RANE manual up against a Mackie manual any day. RANE rules in the manual department.

The manuals are great on everything they make. We use the 1202 mixer, the SRM 450 powered speaker for out door events ( great spl and dispersion for the size and weight ) and their 1400 series amps. All have been trouble free for years! Their product catalogs are full of good information too.  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

I had a first edition of the digital 8 bus manual. Only manual for anything that advised me to go get a nice cold beer...  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

(Did you go to school in Michigan?)

Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 07-06-2003 03:59 AM                     Analog 8-bus. The new eddition of the manual, not the old POS confusing version that came with it. About my spelling: i spent most of my time in public school, so naturaly, i know nothing about spelling and grammer [ 07-06-2003, 11:04 AM: Message edited by: Mike Olpin ]  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"
