These buttons let you access four completely
different sets of controls, referred to as
Fader Banks
.
Even though only one Fader Bank is accessible at a
time, all four are fully functional at all times. Use of
a computer monitor provides on-screen control of
two fader banks at a time.

Now that you’ve got the Digital 8•Bus
powered up, try the different fader banks.
• Press the MIC/LINE button and set up a
random set of fader levels.
• Press the TAPE IN button and set up a
completely different set of fader levels.
• Do the same for EFFECTS and MASTER.
Turn on the power switch on the front panel of the
Remote CPU, then turn on the power to all your
peripheral equipment. The Digital 8•Bus takes a few
moments to load the Mackie Real Time OS
(Operating System) and initialize the DSPs. When
the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) in the
onboard Fat Channel Section indicates EQ settings
for channel 1, the console is ready to use.
Fast Track Power-Up
1. Switch D8B power on.
2. Verify that SPEAKER LEVEL
V-Pot is turned all the way down.
3. Switch on all peripherals
(processors, recorders,
interfaces, etc.).
4. Switch on monitor amplifier or powered
monitors.
A New Way of Thinking:
Four Consoles in One!
With the Digital 8•Bus, what you get is way more
than what you see at first glance. Directly above
the Master L/R fader, locate four buttons labeled
MIC/LINE, TAPE IN, EFFECTS, and MASTERS.
