CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
Your Mackie loudspeakers will provide
many years of reliable service if you follow
these guidelines:
Avoid exposing the
loudspeakers to mois-
ture. If they are set up
outdoors, be sure they
are under cover if you
expect rain.
• Avoid exposure to extreme cold (below
freezing temperatures). If you must
operate the loudspeakers in a cold
environment, warm up the voice coils
slowly by sending a low-level signal
through them for about 15 minutes
prior to high-power operation.
• Use a slighty damp cloth with a mild
soap solution to clean the cabinets. Only
do this when the power is turned off.
Avoid getting moisture into any of the
openings of the cabinet, particularly
where the drivers are located.
