Introduction
Save your Box!
Uncle Jeff’s Bottom Ten Reasons to Save the Box:
10. You think boxes grow on trees?
9.
It’s actually a time capsule, packed with a biological code that can’t be
decrypted until 2043.
8.
Its festive graphics will cheer up those other boxes forgotten in your
attic.
7.
Impress your friends: tape it up and pretend that you actually have two
MDR24/96s.
6.
If you throw it away, bad people will know you have a studio in your
house.
5.
Someday, when paper costs more than steel, it could net you a fortune.
4.
The MDR24/96 itself only costs $47.95. The balance is what you paid for
the box.
3.
Properly sealed, it can be used as a flotation device in the unlikely event
of a water landing.
2.
It’s a great place to hide your old digital 8-track recorder.
1.
If you collect ten MDR24/96 boxes, Greg will come over for dinner (this
offer does not apply to dealers or distributors).
In the unlikely event that you should need to send the MDR24/96 back to Mackie
for service, please use the shipping box it came in. This box has been specially
designed to minimize damage to the MDR24/96 during shipping, so that it won’t
end up more broken than when you sent it.
