1: Introduction The Mackie 8•Bus Series is a flexible 'in-line monitoring' style console. They are available with 24 or 32 microphone/line inputs fed into 8 submix buses, 2 stereo mix buses and 6 auxiliary send buses. There are 24 or 32 tape return inputs for multitrack monitoring and mixing or for - Mackie 24.8Bus | Owner's Manual - Page 6
