About This Manual - Mackie SR24-4-VLZ PRO Owner's Manual

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 fea-
tures in excruciating detail.
24•4-VLZ PRO and 32•4-VLZ PRO
This manual covers both mixers. The 32•4-
VLZ 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 as-
signed 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 "geo-
graphically;" 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.
CHANNEL STRIPS (page 19)
The mono mic/line channel strips and the
two stereo line channel strips.
MASTER SECTION (page 22)
The section on the right.

gram on page 28.
