A.

 Mackie warrants all materials, workmanship and

proper operation of this SRM450 for a period of 

one

year

 from the original date of purchase. If you

complete the optional questionnaire portion of the
Product Registration Card, the warranty will be
extended for an 

additional FOUR years 

with the

following exception: warranty on all its loudspeaker
components including woofers and compression
drivers are only warranted for an additional one year
(for a total of two years). If any defects are found in
the materials or workmanship or if the product fails
to function properly during the applicable warranty
period, Mackie, at its option, will repair or replace
the product. 

This warranty applies only to equip-

ment sold and delivered within the U.S. by Mackie
or its authorized dealers.

B.

 Failure to return the card will not void the 1-year

warranty.

C.

 Service and repairs of Mackie products are to be

performed 

only

 at the factory (see D below) OR at an

Authorized Mackie Service Center (see E below).
Unauthorized service, repairs, or modification will
void this warranty.

D.

 To obtain factory service:

1.

 Call Mackie at 

800/258-6883

, 8AM to 5PM

Monday through Friday (Pacific Time) to get a
Return Authorization (RA). Products returned
without an RA number will be refused.

2.

 Pack the SRM450 in its original shipping

carton. If you do not have the carton, just ask for
one when you get your RA number, and we’ll
send a shipping carton out promptly. More
information on packing can be found in the

Service

 section of this manual. Also include a

note explaining exactly how to duplicate the
problem, a copy of the sales receipt with price
and date showing, and your return street address
(no P.O. boxes or route numbers, please!). If we
cannot duplicate the problem at the Mackie
Factory or establish the starting date of your
Limited Warranty, we may, at our option, charge
for service time.

3.

 Ship the product in its original shipping

carton, 

freight prepaid

 to:

           

Mackie Designs Inc.

SERVICE DEPARTMENT

16140 Wood-Red Road NE, Ste 5

Woodinville, WA, 98072, USA

IMPORTANT:  Make sure that the RA number is
plainly written on the shipping carton.
E.

 To obtain service from an Authorized Mackie Service

Center:

1.

 Call Mackie at 800/258-6883, 8AM to 5PM

Monday through Friday (Pacific Time) to get:
 1) The name and address of your nearest Mackie
Authorized Service Center and 2) A return
authorization (RA). You must have an RA number
before taking your unit to a service center.

2.

 Make sure that you have a copy of your active

speaker’s sales receipt from the store where you
bought the product. It is necessary to establish
purchase date and thus determine whether or not
your active speaker is still under warranty. If you
can't find it, the Authorized Service Center may
charge you for repairs even if your active speaker is
still covered by Mackie's 1-Year Limited Warranty.

3.

 Make sure that the problem can be dupli-

cated.  If you bring your active speaker to an
Authorized Service Center and they can't find
anything wrong with it, you may be charged a
service fee.

4.

 If the Mackie Authorized Service Center is

located in another city, pack the active speaker
in its original shipping carton. More information
on packing can be found in the 

Service 

section of

this manual.

5.

 Contact the Mackie Authorized Service Center to

arrange service or bring the active speaker to them.

F.

 Mackie and Mackie Authorized Service Centers

reserve the right to inspect any products that may
be the subject of any warranty claims before repair
or replacement is carried out. Mackie and Mackie
Authorized Service Centers may, at their option,
require proof of the original date of purchase in the
form of a dated copy of the original dealer’s invoice
or sales receipt. Final determination of warranty
coverage lies solely with Mackie Designs Inc. or its
Authorized Service Centers.

G.

 Mackie active speakers returned to Mackie and

deemed eligible for repair or replacement under the
terms of this warranty will be repaired or replaced
within thirty days of receipt by Mackie at our
rainforest factory complex. Products returned to
Mackie that do not meet the terms of this Warranty
will be repaired and returned C.O.D. with billing
for labor, materials, return freight, and insurance.
Products repaired under warranty at Mackie's
factory will be returned freight prepaid by Mackie
to any location within the boundaries of the USA.

H.

 Mackie assumes no responsibility for the quality

or timeliness of repairs performed by Mackie
Authorized Service Centers.

I.

 This warranty is extended to the original

purchaser and to anyone who may subsequently
purchase this product within the applicable
warranty period.

J.

 This is your sole warranty. Mackie does not

authorize any third party, including any dealer or
sales representative, to assume any liability on
behalf of Mackie Designs or to make any warranty
for Mackie Designs.
