Pro features even amateurs can understand. "Most significant [about the SR Series] is the large degree of flexibility while retaining ease of use. Typically these two factors are at odds - the more something does, the harder it is to make it do what you want. Not so with the SR24•4. Things are laid out very logically, making operation very intuitive." - J.H., Kathleen, GA AUX 1 AUX 2 AUX 3 AUX 4 AUX 5 AUX 6 SOLO L SOLO R PFL LOGIC • • GAIN ∑ AIR 16kHz SOLO • PFL LOGIC • FADER • INSERT • • SUB OUT 1 (1 OF 4) ASSIGN TO L-R • PAN • • SUB OUT 1 SUB • OUT 5 • MONO LEVEL • 2 TAPE TO L-R ∑ • • 3 L MIX INSERTS FADER 2 • R MIX •∑ • • 3 2 • • 3 TAPE IN • • SOLO RELAY •∑ MONITOR LEVEL • • • • TAPE TO •∑ • MONITOR • LEVEL • RUDE•SOLO LED • PFL/SIP • ∑ • • ∑ • • SOLO LEVEL RELAY L • PHONES AMPS R • •∑ • ∑ AUX SEND 1 (2) • • • • • • • • • SOLO •• • ∑ • +• -• L • LEVEL + - R AUX RET 1 (2) IN +• -• L +22 +10 +7 +4 +2 0 -2 -4 -7 -10 -20 -30 -40 METERS ØdBu=Ø VU + LEVEL - R AUX RET 3 IN +• -• L LEVEL ∑• • SOLO 1-2 + - R • 3-4 L-R/SUBS LEVEL AUX RET 4 IN •••• • SOLO LED LEFT OUT •L TAPE OUT •R RIGHT OUT 1 MONO XLR OUT 1 LEFT XLR OUT 1 RIGHT XLR OUT L CONTROL ROOM OUT R PHONES OUTPUTS AUX 1 OUTPUT AUX SEND (1 OF 6) Mackie's SR Series was designed with professionals - and amateurs - in mind.

Mackie’s SR Series was
designed with professionals
— and amateurs — in mind.
That’s why they feature 4
submix buses — “double-
bussed” for 8-track recording,
6 aux sends on each input
channel, VLZ
®
Very Low
Impedance design, Mackie’s
brand new “AIR” EQ circuit,
high-headroom mic preamps,
constant-power pan pots, 4
aux returns, and more.
The SR Series mixing con-
soles are great for live music
festivals, theatrical revues, or
any event with lots of per-
formers. The SR24•4 has 24
inputs and the SR32•4 has
32 (the last two channel
strips on each are stereo, for
playback of tape decks or
CD players). With 20 and 28
mic preamps, respectively,
the SR Series consoles are
big enough to handle major-
sized acts or performances.
6 aux sends make the
SR24•4 and 32•4 very
adaptable to systems with
many effects. Pre-fader
auxes are great for monitor
sends — which you need
more of for live mixing. Post-
fader aux sends are for
effects, which you usually
want more of during studio
tracking and mixdown.
You get both with the
SR Series. Aux Sends 1 & 2
are pre-fader, Aux Sends 3 &
4 can be used either pre- or
post-fader, and Aux Sends
5 & 6 are post-fader. For live
mixing, you can have four
pre
-fader auxes (Aux Sends
1-4), and therefore four dif-
ferent monitor mixes, as well
as two post-fader auxes for
effects. For studio recording,
you can have four
post
-fader
auxes (Aux Sends 3-6), for
use with all the effects pro-
cessors in your rack, plus
two pre-fader auxes for
headphone mixes.
