The text is a compilation based on input

from a number of sources, including design engi-
neer Cam Jones, acoustic engineers Terry
Wetherbee, Mackie’s celebrated cerebral tech-
nical support staff, and several species of small
furry animals gathered together in a cave
grooving with a pict. Extensive input was pro-
vided from various and sundry interested parties
including our colorfully convoluted communica-
tions connoisseur and Master Geek Ron
Koliha, and Linn Compton (proofreader
extraordinaire). Finally, Jayney Wallick and
Dave Franzwa patiently patched the pieces
into perpetual prose with passionate precision.
