The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure, that may be
of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
Le symbole éclair avec point de flèche à l'intérieur d'un triangle
équilatéral est utilisé pour alerter l'utilisateur de la présence à
l'intérieur du coffret de "voltage dangereux" non isolé d'ampleur
suffisante pour constituer un risque d'éléctrocution.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
Le point d'exclamation à l'intérieur d'un triangle équilatéral est
employé pour alerter les utilisateurs de la présence d'instructions

caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.
13.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
14.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as powersupply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have

mains power switch. This switch is located on the rear panel and
should remain readily accessible to the user.
17. This apparatus does not exceed the Class A/Class B (whichever is
applicable)
set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department
limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as
of Communications.

radioélectriques dépassant las limites applicables aux appareils numériques de
class A/de class B (selon le cas) prescrites dans le réglement sur le brouillage
radioélectrique édicté par les ministere des communications du Canada.
18.
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing
loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced
hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to
sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified
the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart.
DS33 DIGITAL SNAKE
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits
could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially danger
ous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all
persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pres
sure levels use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation.
Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn
when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing
loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here.

Introduction
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Thank you for choosing the Mackie DS3232 Digital
Snake to expand the mixing capabilities of your digital
mixer. The DS3232 provides 32 balanced inputs and
32 balanced outputs, all easily accessible in a six rack
space box.
The 32 mic preamps in the DS3232 are comprised of
our highest-quality studio-grade mic preamps, rivaling
expensive stand-alone boutique mic preamps. The A/D
and D/A converters in the DS3232 are pristine 24-bit
converters operating up to 96 kHz. The digital audio is
connected to the mixer using standard Cat5e cable, at
distances up to 300 feet (90 meters).
This allows you to connect your microphones and DI’s
to the DS3232 on-stage, and run a single Cat5e cable
DS3232 DIGITAL SNAKE
back to your FOH mixing position, eliminating signal
degradation and noise that often results from long runs
of analog cable. Not to mention the pounds of copper
you save by not running a 300 foot 32-channel audio
snake from the stage to the mixing console.
Features
• 32 x 32 I/O with XLR connectivity
We know that many of you can’t wait to get your new
Digital Snake hooked up, and you’re probably not going
to read the manual first (sigh!). So the next section is a
Quick-Start Guide to help you get the DS3232 set up fast
so you can start using it right away.
Then, when you have time, read the Features Description section. In this section, you’ll find illustrations with
each feature numbered. If you want to know more about
a feature, simply locate it on the appropriate illustration, notice the number attached to it, and find that
number in the nearby paragraphs.

Getting Started
READ THIS PAGE!!
Even if you’re one of those people
who never read manuals, all we ask
is that you read this page and the
next now before you begin using the
DS3232. You’ll be glad you did!
Connections
The DS3232 is designed to be connected to your digital mixer with a standard Cat5e (Ethernet) cable. If you
are using a Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console, you need
to install a U100 network interface card in the TT24 to
make this connection.
1. Plug a microphone or other signal source into chan
nel 1’s MIC input [4] on the DS3232.
2.
Connect the DS3232 to your digital mixing console
using a standard Cat5e (Ethernet) cable with RJ45
connectors on each end (do not use a crossover
cable). The connector is located at the top of the
front panel on the DS3232.
Note: The DS3232 accepts a Neutrik® EtherCon®
locking connector to secure the Ethernet connection.

Plug in the detachable linecord, connect it to an AC
outlet, and turn on the DS3232 POWER switch [6].
The POWER LED lights up and the COMM LED should
also light, indicating that communication has been
established between the console and the DS3232.
Setup
The setup for the DS3232 depends on the mixing console you are using it with. We’ll use the TT24 Digital Live
Console as an example. Visit our website periodically to
discover what other mixers are equipped to operate with
the DS3232 (www.mackie.com).
“Network” should appear in the box under the Ex-
Owner’s Manual
pansion Slot that contains the U100 Network card.
Congure Menu
1. Press the SETUP button in the QuickMix area.
2. Touch EXPANSION in the touchscreen to open the
Expansion Slot Setup screen.
3.
When the DS3232 is powered on and properly connected, “Snake” should appear under “Network,” with
Snake Setup options for NONE, ANALOG, or DIGITAL.
NONE: When NONE is selected, the TT24 operates
as it normally does and ignores the DS3232.
ANALOG: Select this to replace the Analog bank
(Channels 1-24) on the TT24 with input Channels
1-24 on the DS3232. Channels 25-32 on the DS3232
replace the Card channels 1-8 on the Returns bank.
DIGITAL: Select this to replace the Digital bank
(Channels 25-48) on the TT24 with input Channels
1-24 on the DS3232. Channels 25-32 on the DS3232
replace the Card channels 1-8 on the Returns bank.
