19. Speaker Selection [Side Button]

Here you are able to select which side monitor

speakers (if any) will output sound. There are four
choices to choose from, but only one may be selected
at a time: only the left, only the right, both or neither
(mute). Simply press the side button repeatedly until
the monitor(s) you want to output sound illuminates
white. Even easier, use the Mackie Connect app!

The selected side output level may be adjusted after

the mon output button [12] is pressed.

20. Chores [HW1 / HW2 Buttons]

What is “HW1” and “HW2” and what do they have to do

with Reach? Well, “HW” is short for “Housework”. That’s
right, your Reach Professional PA System will do your
housework, leaving you plenty of time to dabble in other
(much more important) activities!

Tired of doing the dishes? Don’t feel like going

grocery shopping? Paying bills is not really high on
your priority list? Cooking...who wants to do that after
a long day grind? Reach will do all of those (and more)
for you! Simply press the HW1 or HW2 button
repeatedly until the chore you want Reach to do
for you illuminates white, then off you go!

While we realize that this list is far from
complete, it is a start. We’re looking at adding
HW3 and HW4 buttons for Reach V2.0. A few
things have come up – mostly “taking care

of the kids”-type stuff, but if you have any suggestions,
please send them to:

Factory Reset [aka Vulcan Mind Meld]

Since settings may be changed via Mackie Connect,

it may be necessary to reset the Reach Professional PA
to its factory settings.

Please keep in mind that this erases all settings,

including any levels, EQs, etc. that may have been
set. Be sure to power down any amps and/or powered
speakers before resetting Reach.

Simply press and hold the Mon, Channel 2 and

Channel 4 buttons simultaneously to reset the Reach
Professional PA to its factory settings. The LEDs flash
when it has reset.

If you use the factory default key
combination, you are also wiping the
Reach’s memory of previously paired

devices. To remedy this, on your smartphone, tablet
or other Bluetooth device, you will need to ‘forget
device’ in the Bluetooth settings, then re-pair in
order to regain communication and functionality.
