MACKIE SR244 - Manual (Page 5)

Pro features even
amateurs can
understand.
“Most significant [about
the SR Series] is the large
degree of flexibility while
retaining ease of use. Typi-
cally these two factors are at
odds — the more something
does, the harder it is to make
it do what you want. Not so
with the SR24•4. Things are
laid out very logically, mak-
ing operation very intuitive.”
— J.H., Kathleen, GA

Mackie’s SR Series was
designed with professionals
— and amateurs — in mind.
That’s why they feature 4
submix buses — “double-
bussed” for 8-track recording,
6 aux sends on each input
channel, VLZ
® Very Low
Impedance design, Mackie’s
brand new “AIR” EQ circuit,
high-headroom mic preamps,
constant-power pan pots, 4
aux returns, and more.
The SR Series mixing con-
soles are great for live music
festivals, theatrical revues, or
any event with lots of per-
formers. The SR24•4 has 24
inputs and the SR32•4 has
32 (the last two channel
strips on each are stereo, for
playback of tape decks or
CD players). With 20 and 28
mic preamps, respectively,
the SR Series consoles are
big enough to handle major-
sized acts or performances.
6 aux sends make the
SR24•4 and 32•4 very
adaptable to systems with
many effects. Pre-fader
auxes are great for monitor
sends — which you need
more of for live mixing. Post-
fader aux sends are for
effects, which you usually
want more of during studio
tracking and mixdown.
You get both with the
SR Series. Aux Sends 1 & 2
are pre-fader, Aux Sends 3 &
4 can be used either pre- or
post-fader, and Aux Sends
5 & 6 are post-fader. For live
mixing, you can have four
pre
-fader auxes (Aux Sends
1-4), and therefore four dif-
ferent monitor mixes, as well
as two post-fader auxes for
effects. For studio recording,
you can have four post-fader
auxes (Aux Sends 3-6), for
use with all the effects pro-
cessors in your rack, plus
two pre-fader auxes for
headphone mixes.
