Introduction
Thank you for choosing Mackie Designs for your
hard disk recording solution. The Serial•9 is a major
step forward in our continued support of the
HDR24/96 Hard Disk Recorder.
The Serial•9 replaces the existing MIDI card in
the HDR24/96, and offers both MIDI (MTC and
MMC) and Sony 9-Pin communication with external
devices like remote controllers and DAWs (Digital
Audio Workstations).
No additional setup is required. Just plug the
Serial•9 in and you're ready to go!
Important: You must have
version 1.3 or higher of the
HDR24/96 OS in order to use the
Serial•9. Follow the installation
instructions with the software
upgrade to install the new
software.
Installing the Serial•9
Important: The Serial•9
contains static-sensitive
components. Anti-static
precautions must be taken before
opening the anti-static bag and
handling the Serial•9. Use an
anti-static wrist strap when performing this installation.
These are available at most computer supply stores.
The use of an anti-static mat is also recommended.

linecord from the socket on the rear panel.
We don't want this to be a shocking
experience for you!

and pulling up and away from the front of the
