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.
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits
could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all
persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure 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
Thank you for choosing a Mackie high-efficiency
power amplifier. We appreciate your vote of confidence
for the folks in Woodinville who specialize in awesome
and affordable professional audio designs.
The Mackie M-Series power amplifiers have a wide
variety of features that set them apart from any other
amplifier in their price range.
• More Output Devices
The more output devices that are used in a power amplifier, the more reliably the amplifier will operate over
the long-term at high power levels into low-impedance
loads. The M-Series amplifiers typically use more output
devices for the same output power than our competitors
amplifiers. This means the output devices are required
to handle less power, thus drastically extending the lifeexpectancy of our amplifiers.
• True 2-ohm Power Capability
Some amplifier manufacturers present their power
ratings into 2-ohms at 1 kHz. Because our M-Series power amplifiers use more output devices, they can provide
full-power into 2-ohms over the entire audio frequency
range, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, all night long!
• Higher Efficiency
The M•2000 uses a highly efficient two-rail Class-H
topology, while the M•3000 and M•4000 use an even
more efficient three-rail Class-H topology. This allows
the amplifiers to run cooler, even in high-ambient
temperatures, while improving their long-term reliability.
• Lower Distortion
Our design engineers have paid particular attention
to reducing distortion in the M-Series amplifiers. From
triple darlington output stages to a fully complementary/
differential design from input to output, to the Mackie
exclusive adaptive slew Class-H switching design that
allows the amplifiers to pass the fastest transient peaks
Please write your serial number here for
future reference (i.e., insurance claims, tech
support, return authorization, etc.)
Purchased at:
Date of purchase:
while minimizing Class-H switching distortion. The
bottom line is the M-Series amplifiers achieve some of
the lowest distortion numbers in the business without
resorting to substantial amounts of negative feedback.
• That’s Not All!
There are plenty more features that make your selection of a Mackie M-Series power amplifier a good investment, from the Fast Recovery design pioneered in our FR
Series amplifiers, to the quiet fans and constant thermal
gradient heatsinks to dissipate heat away from the output
devices evenly and efficiently, to the extensive protection circuits designed to protect the amplifier and your
loudspeakers.
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
We know that many of you can’t wait to get your new
amplifier 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 amplifier set up
fast so you can start using it right away. Right after that
are the ever popular hook-up diagrams that show typical
setups for live sound applications.
Then, when you have time, read the Features Description section. This describes every knob, button, and
connection point on the M-Series amplifiers.
Throughout 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.
This icon marks information that
is critically important or unique to
the M-Series amplifiers. For your
own good, read them and remember
them. They will be on the final test.
This icon leads you to in-depth
explanations of features and practical tips. While not mandatory, they
usually have some valuable nugget of
information.

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 now before
you begin using the M-Series power
amplifier. You’ll be glad you did!
IMPORTANT: The amplifier draws
its ventilation air in from the rear
and out through the front panel. It
needs plenty of fresh air to stay cool.
DO NOT BLOCK THE VENTILATION
PORTS!
Connections and Settings
1. Turn down the channel Gain controls.
2. Set the 150 Hz X-OVER switches to FULL.
3. Set the LIMIT switches ON.
4. Turn the POWER switch off.
5. Determine which AMP MODE is best for your application.
• STEREO mode (separate left and right inputs,
separate left and right outputs) is the typical setup
for amplifying stereo signals.
• MONO mode (sometimes called Dual-Mono mode
— one mono input, two mono outputs) is for sending a mono signal to two different speaker sets, with
separately-adjustable level controls.
• BRIDGE mode (sometimes called Bridged-Mono
— one mono input, one mono output) uses both sides
of the amp to double the power to one speaker set.
Note: 4 ohms is the minimum impedance you
should connect to the amplifier in BRIDGE mode (2
ohms in MONO or STEREO modes). If you connect
a lower impedance load, the SHORT LEDs may
light, putting the amplifier into PROTECT mode.
Set the AMP MODE switch accordingly.
6.
In STEREO mode, connect line-level cables from
your signal source to the M-Series amplifier’s INPUT
jacks, either XLR, TRS, or screw terminals:
• All the inputs and thru jacks for each channel
are wired in parallel.
• The balanced XLR inputs are wired
pin 2 = hot (+), pin 3 = cold (–) and
pin 1 = shield (ground).
• The 1/4" TRS inputs are wired tip = hot (+),
ring = cold (–) and sleeve = shield (ground), and
can accept either balanced (TRS) or unbalanced
(TS) cables.
• The screw terminal inputs are wired as indicated:
hot (+), cold (–), and ground (GND).
7. In MONO and BRIDGE modes, the signals appearing at Channel 1 and Channel 2 inputs are summed
together to create a mono signal.
8. In STEREO and MONO modes, connect speaker
cables to the SPEAKER OUTPUTS, either binding
posts or Speakons®:
• The binding post connectors are wired red = hot
(+) and black = cold (–).
• The Speakon connectors are wired as follows:
Channel 1
pin 1+ = Ch 1 hot (+) and pin 1– = Ch 1 cold (–)
pin 2+ = Ch 2 hot (+) and pin 2– = Ch 2 cold (–)
Channel 2
pin 1+ = Ch 2 hot (+) and pin 1– = Ch 2 cold (–)
pin 2± = unused
BRIDGE
pin 1+ = hot (+) and pin 1– = cold (–)
pin 2± = unused
9. In BRIDGE mode, connect the binding post cable
like this: the hot (+) side goes to the CHANNEL 1
SPEAKER OUTPUTS red post and the cold (–) side
goes to the CHANNEL 2’s red post. Connect nothing
into the black posts.
10. Connect the other ends of the speaker cables to
your loudspeakers.
11. Plug the amplifier’s power cord into an outlet properly configured with the correct voltage for your
amplifier, and capable of delivering enough current
to reach full power.
12.
Make sure your signal source (feeding the amplifier’s
inputs) is powered up and delivering signal to the amp.
13. Turn the amplifier’s POWER switch on and verify
that the signal present (SIG) LEDs are blinking.
14. Slowly turn both Gain controls up:
You should hear the music and see the SIG and
meter LEDs flashing. If the topmost LEDs (named
OL, for OverLoad) are flashing, turn down either
the Gain controls on the amp or the source signal’s
output level controls (i.e., master faders). The point
is: The OL LEDs should only occasionally light up.
Frequent lighting of the the OL LEDs indicates that
the amplifier is being driven too hard and clipping
distortion is likely audible.

15. For quieter listening, it is preferable to adjust the
amplifier’s gain controls rather than the source
signal’s output level (unless you have the source’s
control all the way up!).
Other Nuggets of Wisdom
• For optimum sonic performance, the channel and
main mix faders on your mixer should be set near
the “U” (unity gain) markings. Then adjust the
amplifier’s gain control to attain the desired volume
through the loudspeakers.
• Never plug amplifier outputs into anything except
speakers (unless you have an outboard box specifically designed to handle speaker-level signals).
• Before making connections to an amp or reconfiguring an amp’s routing, turn the amp’s level
(Gain) controls down, turn the power off, make the
changes, turn the power back on, and then turn the
level controls back up.
• When you shut down your equipment, turn off the
amplifiers first. When powering up, turn on the
amplifiers last.
• Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods.
Please see the Safety Instructions on page 2 for
information on hearing protection.
• Save the shipping box! You may need it someday,
and you don’t want to have to pay for another one.
That’s it for the “Getting Started” section. Next comes
the “Hookup” section that shows you some typical ways
that you might use the M-Series amplifier in real applications. After that, take the grand tour of the amplifier, with descriptions of every knob, button, input, and
output. We encourage you to take the time to read all of
the feature descriptions, but at least you know it’s there
if you have any questions.

M-Series Power Amplifier: Stereo Mode Connection
This drawing shows a typical stereo hookup, connecting
two speakers to the Speakon® outputs. The Amp Mode
switch is set to STEREO, and the X-over switches are set
to FULL. The binding posts can also be used to connect
the speakers (shown as an optional connection).
The Channel 1 Speakon output connector
has four conductors and carries both
channels (1± is Channel 1 out and 2± is
Channel 2 out). This is ideal for driving
Channel 1’s input is jumpered over to Channel 2 using
a biampable two-way speaker cabinet.
The Amp mode switch is set to STEREO,
the Thru connector on Channel 1. The X-over switch on
Channel 1 is set to LPF while Channel 2 is set to HPF.
Channel 1 carries the low frequencies (below 150 Hz) to
the low-frequency driver, and Channel 2 carries the high
frequencies (above 150 Hz) to the high-frequency driver.
Many biampable cabinets are configured to accept both
LF and HF signals on a single Speakon connector.
