most in operation and efficiency from your mixing unit, it is VERY IMPORTANT for you - before

considerations specified within it.
In order to guarantee the optimum operation of this unit, we strongly recommend that
its maintenance be carried out by our Authorised Technical Services.

2. INTRODUCTION
The MAC90v mixer is designed for its use in discotheques, ballrooms, bars, disco bars
and external P.A. applications.
The MAC90v has 8+1 mixable channels, i.e. 8 channels with conventional sliding fader
plus one special channel for the effect return with rotary potentiometer, which can be used to
input normal line-level signals from any source. It features 12 stereo inputs: 3 PHONO, 4 HIGH
LINE (high line level for compact disc, DAT, MP3 players), and 5 LOW LINE, AUX RTN and MIX;
plus 4 more inputs for balanced microphones (XLR 3). The AUX RTN input connector is duplicated
on the front panel (13), so an additional sound source (portable CDs, portable DAT, or even
walkmans) can be instantly connected to the mixer without having to change fixed configurations.
All channels have a lever switch input selector, independent gain control and 3-band
tone controls. The MAC90v also has a removable, externally exchangeable CROSSFADER to
which any channel can be assigned via a set of switches with LED indicator to show which
channels are currently routed to what side of the crossfader.
All inputs are PFL-capable in order to visually (through the VU meters) and
acoustically (through headphones) monitor any signal connected to the inputs of the unit.
In the MAC90v, we have cared specially about the roughness, long-time response and
maximum adaptability to the DJ needs, getting a total ease of operation.
