Repair

Service for Mackie products is available at a factory-
authorized service center. Service for Mackie products 
living outside the United States can be obtained through 
local dealers or distributors.

If your Quad EQ needs service, follow these instructions:

1.  Review the preceding troubleshooting suggestions. 

Please.

2.  Call Tech Support at 1-800-898-3211, 7 am to 5 pm 

PST, to explain the problem and request a Service 
Request Number. Have your serial number ready. 

You must have a Service Request Number before 
you can obtain warranty service.

3.  Keep this owner’s manual and the detachable 

linecord. We don’t need them to repair the Quad EQ.

4.  Pack the Quad EQ in its original package, includ-

ing endcaps and box. This is 

VERY IMPORTANT

Mackie is not responsible for any damage that 
occurs due to non-factory packaging.

5.  Include a legible note stating your name, shipping 

address (no P.O. boxes), daytime phone number, 
Service Request Number, and a detailed description 
of the problem, including how we can duplicate it.

6.  Write the Service Request Number in 

BIG PRINT

 on 

top of the box. Units sent without the SR number will 
be refused.

7.  Tech Support will tell you where to ship the Quad 

EQ for repair. We suggest insurance for all forms of 
cartage.

8.  You will need to contact the authorized service cen-

ter for their latest turn-around times. The Quad EQ 
must be packaged in its original packing box, and 
must have the Service Request Number on the box. 
Once it’s repaired, the authorized service center 
will ship it back by ground shipping, pre-paid (if it 
was a warranty repair). 

Note:

 Under the terms of the warranty, you must ship 

or drop-off the unit to an authorized service center. 
The return ground shipment is covered for those 
units deemed by us to be under warranty.

Note: You must have a sales receipt from 

an authorized Mackie dealer for your 
unit to be considered for warranty 
repair.
