  • Page 4: Introduction

    The d.2 was the first DJ mixer made by Mackie. The d.2 Pro builds upon the success of the d.2, making it a truly professional product with the high-end perfor- mance you’ve come to expect from Mackie.

  • Page 5: Getting Started

    Getting Started READ THIS PAGE!! Even if you never read manuals, please read and digest the safety instructions on page 2, and this page before you begin using the d.2 Pro mixer. Zero the Controls Turn the rear panel power switch off. Turn down the level controls for mic, pgm 1 and pgm 2, and center all EQ, pan, and bal controls.

  • Page 10: Rear Panel Features

    Rear Panel Features MAIN OUT ~100-240 VAC 50-60Hz 20W 1. MIC Input This is a Neutrik “combo” input connector that ac- cepts either a balanced male XLR connector or a 1/4" balanced or unbalanced connector. Professional mics usually have XLR connectors, while consumer or semi- pro mics often have 1/4"...

  • Page 11: Xlr Main Outs

    9. XLR MAIN OUTs These male XLR connectors provide a balanced mic- or line-level signal from the main level control [32]. The line/mic switch [10] determines if it is a mic-level or line-level output. Connect these to the balanced inputs of the active speakers, or power amplifier(s) powering your main speakers.

  • Page 12: Mic Input Section

    Top Panel Features MIC Input Section 16. MIC LEVEL This knob adjusts the gain of the mic preamp for any micro- phone plugged into the mic input jack [1]. It ranges from +3 dB to +50 dB, with a fixed gain of +10 dB, giving an effective gain range of +13 dB to +60 dB.

  • Page 13: Program Input Section

    Program Input Section 25. LEVEL This knob adjusts the gain of the program input signals selected by the position of the source select switch [26]. This knob ranges from off to +13 dB of gain at maximum. Adjust this with your good eye on the program meters [43], so the level is typically bouncing between the 0 and +6 LEDs.

  • Page 14: Control Section

    Control Section 32. MAIN LEVEL This knob adjusts the main output level at the main out XLRs [9] (and to the RCA main outs [11] when the live/re- cord switch [12] is out). (Remember, when the live record switch is pushed in, the RCA main outs are not affected by the main level control.)

  • Page 15: Program Output Section

    Program Output Section 41. TRANSFORM The transform switch has three positions: latch- ing, center, and momen- tary. When the switch is latched, this program’s signal is on, and passes through to the outputs. When the switch is in the center position, this program’s signal is muted at the outputs and FX sends.

  • Page 16: Reverse Led

    46. REVERSE LED This LED lights when the reverse switch [49] has been activated for the crossfader. For more details, see the discussion of the reverse switches on the next page. 47. CROSSFADER The crossfader is used to fade between the two pgm signals in the main outputs.

  • Page 17: Front Panel Features

    Front Panel Features 48. CONTOUR Use the contour controls to adjust how fast or slow each fader responds to movement. In the slow position, the faders respond in a linear fashion, increasing from minimum to maximum at the same rate. In the fast posi- tion, the faders respond logarithmically, increasing from minimum to maximum very quickly, and then changing very little for the remainder of the fader travel.

    Appendix D: Transform Switch Rotation and Fader Replacement LEVEL Transform Switch Rotation From the factory, the transform switches operate vertically, that is (to get all technical for a moment) fore and aft. You can perform a simple modification to make these switches operate sideways, or even diagonally, to suit your carefully cultivated set of operational preferences.
