Mackie Media (Optional)
The SDR24/96 emulates the tape library tradition with Mackie Media M
•
90 and
Mackie Media PROJECT drives. Both drives come complete with a plug-in tray for
quick removal and a nifty storage case for shelving and transporting the drives.
The SDR24/96 can record or play directly off the M
•
90 so you can change sessions
as quickly as changing tape on a 24-track—no backup time required. PROJECT
drives are for backup only and use removable 2.2GB ORB cartridges that fit in your
pocket. Each can hold a couple of 5-minute 24-track masters.
To install or remove a Mackie Media tray:
1. Power the SDR24/96 off whenever inserting or removing media trays.
If you have an active project, don’t forget to save it first!
2. To remove a drive, first unlock it by inserting the key and turning it a
quarter-turn counterclockwise. Two keys are packed with the recorder, and
one with each M
•
90 drive.
3. Lift the bail handle to release the drive, and pull it out of the drive bay.
4. To install a new M
•
90 or PROJECT drive, slide the media tray into the
front panel drive bay. Press it firmly into place, and latch it by pressing the
bail handle downward until it’s fully seated.
5. Insert the key into the lock and turn it a quarter-turn clockwise. The key
locks the drive into place and powers the tray.
6. The SDR24/96 will automatically detect the Mackie Media drive when you
next power it up.

Note: Mackie Media are hard drives, and as we all know, hard drives
involve some pretty intricate technology. So don’t shake the little
darlin’, and if a tray has just come in from a freezing car or airplane
cargo hold, do not install it until it has reached room temperature.
