Mackie RACK POWER User Manual

MACKIE MIXER

Everything is “on” as labeled and this board is wired to the “MASTER RACK POWER”
switch (behind the Ross Switcher), so it will turn on and off with everything else.

Master Rack Power #1-5: Wireless Microphones

#6-8: Open to studio plays #9: OPEN & #10: TONE (tone generator)

#11-16: L/R Output Channels from the mixer (9) and router monitors (10 &11)

MAIN MIX SUB STATION: Inputs Channels 1&2: Inputs for Router #9
(bottom right corner of board) Mixer (these will always be up to ‘0’

Channels 3 & 4: Inputs for Router #14 Main Mix Channel: Always up to ‘0’
(Ross/PGM) **typically will not be used *this is your main volume control

Control Room Source: always set to Main Mix: this button is located above sub- station
channel 1*always pressed

CTL Room/Phones Knob: Sets the Volume for the Studio (make sure this is not too loud)

Channels (Sliders): There are 5 buttons from the top on each channel: MUTE, SOLO,
(1-2), (3-4), (L-R)

• MUTE: volume from that channel will not be heard if this is pressed

• SOLO: if more than one channel is up, the channel with this button pressed will

be the only audible channel. **The “Rude Solo Light” will blink if a solo button
is pressed. This light is located above the Main Mix sub-station, left of the VU
Meters

• 1-2: sends the signal to Router #9 channels 1&2 *if this isn’t pressed down, you

will not

hear anything

• 3-4: sends the signal to Router #14 channels 3&4 *typically will not be used

• L-R: sends signal to the left and right speakers * if this isn’t pressed down, you

will not hear anything

DO NOT’S

• Never press the “Left” and “Right” Buttons under “ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX” in

the Main Mix sub-station. This increases the volume to an unnecessary level.

• Do not alter anything under the TRIM for any of the channels. This also increases

the volume to an unnecessary level

• Do not alter anything under the EQ for any of the channels. You just don’t need

to.

TROUBLE SHOOTING: If you “can’t hear anything…”

• Is the MUTE button up?

• Is the 1-2 button and L-R button on the channel pressed?

• Are Channels 1&2 up in the Main Mix sub-station?

• Is the MAIN MIX up?

• Is the CTL RM SOURCE set to MAIN MIX?
