RECORDING AND PA CONSOLES

Since its

introduction, Mackie

Designs’ 8•Bus Series con-

soles have proven that

excellent sonic quality,

practical features and ex-

treme durability needn't

mandate a premium price.

In hundreds of SR and

recording installations, the

32•8, 24•8 and 16•8 deliver

performance previously

only found in consoles

costing far more.

Instead of offering

dozens of mix-and-match

input and output module

options, we have put more

of what most users need

into a single console de-

sign — enabling us to make

them in quantities which

can bring costs down.

All three 8•Bus consoles

and the 24•E expander offer

extensive monitoring, 4-band

EQ, accurate, logarithmic

taper faders and expansive,

forgiving headroom. Equally

as important, they are built

to withstand the rigors of the

environment and the casual,

untrained user. 8•Bus con-

soles have withstood

A complete system

The 8•Bus console line

consists of three in-line

consoles, the 32x8x2 32•8,

the 24x8x2 24•8 and the

16x8x2 16•8.

The 24•8 and 32•8 are

expandable with Mackie's

24•E Expander console. The

24•E consists of 24 input

channels and tape returns.

It connects to the 32•8 or

24•8 via a proprietary cable.

Multiple 24•E expanders

may be daisy chained to

provide 128 or more total

input channels. The 24•E's

outputs are pre-mixed in

the expander to reduce line

noise, thermal noise and to

maintain sonic quality at

the main console.

All three consoles and

the 24•E are shipped with

Mackie's rugged 220-watt

triple-regulated power

supply. Meter bridges and
