Final Thoughts; Factory Reset - Mackie THUMP212XT Owner's Manual

22. Overload LED
The ThumpXT has a built-in limiter that helps
to prevent the amplifier outputs from clipping
or overdriving the transducers. The limit indicator
illuminates red when the limiter is activated.
It's okay for it to blink occasionally, but if it blinks
frequently or lights continuously, turn down
the gain knob(s) until it only blinks occasionally.
Excessive limiting may lead to overheating,
which in turn trips the thermal protect
circuitry and interrupts the performance.
See 'Thermal Protection' on page 16 for more
information.

Final Thoughts

Just a few final thoughts before we dive into a little
more boring "techy"-type stuff. For starters, we would
like to remind you once again that ThumpXT works
great on its own, but when paired and connected
with a device using the Thump Connect 2 app, your
world of possibilities really opens up!

Factory Reset

Let's also talk factory resets. Since settings may
be changed via Thump Connect 2, it may be necessary
to reset the ThumpXT to its factory settings.
There are two kinds of resets:
• Soft Reset – Just a simple power cycle will reset
all settings that were previously set via the rear
panel and/or app back to their default settings
(except for Bluetooth and linked speakers that
are stored within ThumpXT).
• Hard Reset – A hard reset resets the entire
unit to its factory default, including auto-connect
and auto-link. A hard reset may be accomplished
by pressing and holding down the 'Voicing Modes'
and 'Outdoor Mode' buttons simultaneously
for approximately five seconds on boot up.
Release the buttons when multiple voicing
mode LEDs light up simultaneously, as this
indicates success.
Please keep in mind that this erases all
settings, including any levels, EQs, etc. that
may have been set. Be sure to power down
any amps and/or powered speakers before
resetting ThumpXT.
If you use the factory default key
combination, you are also wiping the
ThumpXT's memory of previously paired
devices. To remedy this, on your phone,
tablet or other Bluetooth device, you will need to 'forget
device' in the Bluetooth settings, then re-pair in
order to regain communication and functionality.
