during mixdown, roll an already-recorded
track from your recorder.
4. The channel’s –20dB LED may light. The
L/R main meters will show the actual internal
operating level of soloed signals. Now you will
optimize levels.
5.
■ ■
For mic or line inputs, adjust the TRIM
control clockwise to get peaks that regularly
hit 0dB on the L/R meters. For mic inputs
this may require full CCW rotation depend-
ing on the sensitivity of the mic.
6. If desired (optional):
■ ■
Press the EQ switch in .
■ ■
Adjust the channel strip’s EQ to about
what you will be using during the session.

Repeat Steps 1-7 on the next channel that

To fully achieve the Mackie 8•Bus console’s
impressive headroom and specs, you should
“tune” channel sensitivity for each channel.
FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE FOR
EACH CHANNEL IN USE:
1. Assign signal to channel fader:
■ ■
If channel will be used with a micro–
phone, MIC/LINE switch should be
up
&
FLIP switch should be up .
■ ■
If channel will be used with line input,
MIC/LINE switch should be
down &
FLIP switch should be up .
■ ■
If channel will be used with a tape
input keep the FLIP switch
down .
2. Set channel strip controls as follows:
■ ■
TRIM pot all the way counterclockwise
(
+4dB )
■ ■
AUX SEND controls all the way counter-
clockwise (
off )
■ ■
EQ switch up
■ ■
LOW-CUT switch either on or off
( on recommended for mic inputs)
■ ■
Pan hard left or right
■ ■
Channel fader at UNITY
■ ■
SOLO switch down

Make appropriate “noise” into the channel
input. For example, have a performer play/
sing/strike something or someone, etc., at
the level at which they’re going to record or
perform. Don’t just play a single sustained
note, but rather, jam away as you would be
during recording or performance. If the
channel is being used for a tape input

Yes, we know it’s only slightly smaller than a
doublewide mobile home, but you will need the
entire carton and internal foam if your console
ever needs service at some time in the future.
If your kids make the box into a fort and cut
holes in it — or if you stuff it in the dumpster of
the fast-food place next door to your studio, we
may have to sell and ship you another packing
box later on. Don’t end up buying an empty box!
PLEASE! SAVE THE
SHIPPING BOX!
