Mackie 32.8Bus Contractor's Specifications - Page 1

RECORDING AND PA CONSOLES 7/1/95 Since its introduction, Mackie Designs' 8•Bus Series consoles have proven that excellent sonic quality, practical features and extreme 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 design - 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 consoles have withstood hundreds of thousands of miles of touring, toppling monitors during major earthquakes, and every possible liquid that ever got near a mixing board.

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.
