9. Servicing — The user should not attempt to service this Mackie
product beyond those means described in this operating manual. All other
servicing should be referred to the Mackie Service Department.
10. Exposure to extremely high noise
levels may cause permanent hearing loss.
Individuals vary considerably in susceptibil-
ity to noise-induced hearing loss, but
nearly everyone will lose some hearing if
exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a
period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level
exposures shown in the following chart.
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits
could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous ex-
posure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons
exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels use
hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in
the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment in
order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits
set forth here.
