COLOPHON
Manual written by Jeff
Gilbert and Dave Franzwa,
with tidbits borrowed from
almost everywhere, includ-
ing huge chunks of technic-
ally baffling text contributed
by Rick Chinn. Manual then
defaced with proofreading
pens in the hands of Mackie’s
legendary Tech Support
staff (Paul Larson), New
Products Engineering staff
(Cal Perkins and Cameron
Jones), and our incomparable
Art Department (Sara
Delahan). Back cover collage
composed by Jayme Delma.
Manual composed with
No. 4 blue sidewalk chalk
on the banks of beautiful
Sammamish Slough by
Mackie’s notorious Technical
Writing staff, then converted
to this amazing piece of
work using a 13-story 1000
gigawhat Macintosh, pow-
ered by its own dedicated
AC supply with extensive
voltage regulation and
noise filtering to insure
pure, undistorted text.
Please, feel free to let us
know if you find an error or
stumble over a confusing
paragraph. Thank you for
reading the entire manual
(we know you have, or you
wouldn’t be here).
