Mackie SR244 VLZ Pro / SR324 VLZ Pro VLZ Pro Owner's Manual - Page 4

ABOUT THIS MANUAL The stuff you MUST read: First, you must read and follow all the safety instructions on page 2. Before you get to work, please read the "Quick Start" section on page 6. It's a list of steps that will familiarize you with the mixer and help you set up a basic performance. The rest of the manual explains the mixer's features in excruciating detail. 24•4-VLZ PRO and 32•4-VLZ PRO This manual covers both mixers. The 32•4VLZ PRO has eight more mic/line channel strips, otherwise the two models are identical. About all those numbers: Every feature on the mixer has a number assigned to it. Whenever a feature is illustrated described or mentioned, its number will be right next to it. They'll help you find your way around this whopping opus, and we opus you will like it. Every feature of the mixer is described "geographically;" in other words, in order of where it is physically placed on the mixer's top or rear panel. These descriptions are divided into three chapters, just as your mixer is organized into three distinct zones: PATCHBAY (page 14) Along the back where everything plugs in. Further information: This icon marks information that is critically important or unique to your mixer. For your own good, read and remember them. This icon will lead you to in-depth explanations of features and practical tips. While not mandatory, they usually have some valuable nuggets of information. This entire manual is condensed onto one page, albeit in hieroglyphics: see the Block Diagram on page 28. Please come on by and visit our website, at http://www.mackie.com. It contains helpful stuff about mixers and audio, as well as specific information about this and other Mackie products.
