APPENDIX B: Options, Add-Ons and Extra Stuff
OPTIONS
Meter Bridge
You can order an optional Mackie meter bridge
for any 8•Bus Series console. The meter bridge
extends across the width of the mixer and pro-
vides a 12-LED bar-graph meter (identical to the
8 submaster bus meters) for each channel strip.
The meters can be globally switched, metering
either the Tape Return signals to the mixer, post-
tape-in level switch (for watching multitrack
source and tape levels) or the post-fader/post-
mute switch channel signals (handy for live
sound mixing).
Expander Console
Make your 24 into a 48! Your 32 into a 56, or an
80, or a 104... See the pattern? The Mackie 24•E
Expander Console adds 24 input channel strips to
the existing bus structure of your mixer. You can
connect another Expander console to the first,
and another, and so on. Check local ordinances
for limitations on mixer inputs.
Console Stand
An astonishingly affordable stand is available
for all the 8•bus consoles. It turns these consoles
into “standalone” mixers to eliminate the need for
a large countertop on which to place the console.
Consult your Mackie 8•Bus Dealer for details.
The Mackie Sidecar
The Sidecar provides eleven rack spaces for
patchbays, the Mackie power supply, etc. At the
back is a cable storage rack for organizing
connection cords.
Automation
Full-fader and muting MIDI automation for
Mackie 8•Bus Series mixers will be available in
1995. Although Mackie 8•Bus Series automation
is extremely affordable and very effective, we don’t
want you to think that it includes “flying faders” or
automated equalization. It DOES let you fine-
tune, store, recall and re-fine-tune complex mixes
in ways that can significantly enhance your cre-
ativity and mix quality.
Un-Cigarette Lighter
An automobile-type cigarette lighter can be
mounted on the front panel of your mixer, but
NOT CONNECTED! What a joke for your smok-
ing friends!
Mixing Shoes
The Mackie Kotoor Coallectshun of fine
wearables includes our way-cool, lightweight Mix-
ing Shoes. They’re designed for long hours and
superior traction so that a little slip never ruins
your mix.
Insist that everyone in the control room wear
Mackie Brand Mixing Shoes. They’re available in
Rock, Soft Rock, Metal, Alternative, Country, Jazz,
Gospel, Insufferable Audiophile and special
spiked-steel-toe Producer/Client-Booters.
