Mackie MR6T Quick Start Guide

MONITOR MR6T/MR6WT

Compact Full-Range Speaker

The MR6T (Black) and MR6WT (White) are a
compact full-range speaker system designed
for constant-voltage systems. The single 6.3"
dual-cone woofer achieves wide bandwidth
and natural, smooth sound reproduction,
ideal for use in business music systems and
indoor/outdoor background music applications.

Connections are made to recessed, color­coded spring-loaded terminals.

The enclosure is a vented design,
constructed of high-density polystyrene,
with four M6 threaded inserts for use with
mounting hardware, and includes a protective
perforated steel grille.

Safety First!

Before connecting and using the equipment,
please read this Quick-Start Guide carefully
and keep it for future reference.

Hearing loss Hearing loss

Hearing loss - Exposure to high sound levels

Hearing loss Hearing loss
can cause permanent hearing loss. The sound
pressure level which leads to hearing loss
varies considerably from one person to
another, and depends on the duration of
exposure. The U.S. Government’s
Occupational Safety and Healt Administration
(OSHA) has established the maximum sound
pressure levels that can be with stood without
causing damage, which are shown in the table

below. According to the OSHA regulations,
any exposure over the maximum limits
indicated in the table can reduce the hearing
capacity of a person. To prevent potentially
dangerous exposure to high sound pressure
levels, anyone subjected to such levels must
use suitable protection. When a Mackie
Industrial product capable of producing high
sound levels is being used, it is therefore
necessary to wear ear plugs or protective
earphones when the limits shown in the table
are exceeded.

Consult the specifications provided in the
instruction manual to know the maximum
sound pressure (SPL) the speaker is capable
of producing.

Rear Panel Features
and Controls

1. This rotary control selects the power tap

for the internal constant voltage
transformer. Choices are 1W, 2.5W, 5W,
10W, 20W, and BYPASS (used for 4Ω
operation).

2. This rotary control selects the constant

voltage distributed system in which the
speaker is used. Choices are BYPASS
(used for 4Ω operation), 0(Off), 25V, 50V,
70V, and 100V.

Note: Use a slot-head screwdriver to
adjust the rotary controls.

3. Use these spring-loaded terminals to

connect the speaker wiring.

Connections

The spring-loaded speaker terminals are
designed to accept bare wire, up to a
maximum of 18 gauge. Strip 1/4" of insulation
off the end of the speaker wire, press in the
tab, and insert the bare wire into the hole.
When you release the tab, the wire is locked in
place. Make sure there are no stray strands of
wire outside the terminal connection.

WARNING: Consult a professional rigger or
structural engineer prior to suspending
loudspeakers from a structure not intended
for that use. Always know the working load
limit of the structure supporting the
loudspeaker array. Always make sure that
the rigging hardware minimum rating is at
least five times the actual load.
