    3 and 4 for PGM 2. The FireWire card can easily be installed with the help of a small screwdriver. Ask your Mackie dealer about it. (The FireWire card, not the screwdriver.) Each card comes with installation instructions that I have to write before the boss gets back from his vacation in Gary, Indiana.
  • Page 12: Top Panel Features

    Top Panel Features MIC Input Section 16. MIC LEVEL Control This knob adjusts the gain of the mic preamp for any microphone plugged into the MIC input jack [1]. It ranges from +13 dB to +63 dB of gain. Adjust this knob so that the loudest speaking or shouting that you do into the microphone just barely lights...
  • Page 13: Program Input Section

    Program Input Section 25. LEVEL Control This knob adjusts the gain of the PGM 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 PRO- GRAM METERS [42], so the level is typically bouncing between the 0 and +4 LEDs.
  • Page 14: Control Section

    Control Section 32. MAIN LEVEL Control This knob adjusts the main output level at the MAIN OUT XLRs [9] (and to the RCA Main Outs [11] when the LIVE/RECORD switch [12] is out). (Remem- ber, when the LIVE RE- CORD switch is pushed in, the RCA Main Outs are not affected by the MAIN LEVEL control.)
  • Page 15: Program Output Section

    Program Output Section 40. TRANSFORM Switch 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 45. REVERSE LED This LED lights when the REVERSE switch [48] has been activated for the Crossfader. For more details, see the dis- cussion of the REVERSE switches [48] on the next page. 46. CROSSFADER The crossfader is used to fade between the two PGM signals in the MAIN outputs.
  • Page 17: Front Panel Features

    Front Panel Features 47. CONTOUR Controls 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, increas- ing from minimum to maximum at the same rate. In the FAST position, the faders respond logarithmically, increasing from minimum to maximum very quickly, and then changing very little for the remainder of the fader...
  • Page 18: Appendix A: Service Information

    Appendix A: Service Information Warranty Service Details concerning Warranty Service are spelled out in the Warranty section on page 27. If you think your d.2 has a problem, please do everything you can to confi rm it before calling for service. Doing so might save you from the deprivation of your mixer and the associated suffering.
  • Page 19: Repair

    Repair Service for Mackie products is available at a factory- authorized service center. Service for Mackie products living outside the United States can be obtained through local dealers or distributors. If your d.2 needs service, follow these instructions: Review the preceding troubleshooting suggestions.
  • Page 20: Appendix B: Connections

    Appendix B: Connections XLR Connectors The d.2 MIC combo input accepts 3-pin male XLR connectors; the MAIN OUTs accept 3-pin female XLR connectors. These are wired as follows, according to standards specifi ed by the AES (Audio Engineering Society). XLR Balanced Wiring: Pin 1 = Shield Pin 2 = Hot (+) Pin 3 = Cold (–)

  • Page 25: Appendix D: Transform Switch Rotation And Fader Replacement

    Appendix D: Transform Switch Rotation and Fader Replacement 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 modifi cation to make these switches operate sideways, or even diagonally, to suit your carefully cultivated set of operational preferences.
  • Page 26 Replacing Faders If the faders ever need to be replaced, this can be done with the help of your trusty screwdriver. 10. Follow steps 1 to 5 and remove the top panel. 11. Take care to only remove the two outer screws of each fader you are replacing, as shown below.
  • Page 27: Limited Warranty

    B. Failure to register online or return the product registration card will not void the three-year warranty. C. Service and repairs of Mackie products are to be performed only at a factory-authorized facility (see D below). Unauthorized service, repairs, or modifi cation will void this warranty.
