Specifications - Mackie S500 User Manual

Have your loudspeaker's serial number
ready. You must have an RA number
before you can obtain service at the
factory or an authorized service center.
2. Keep this owner's manual. We don't
need it to repair the loudspeaker.
3. Pack the loudspeaker in its original
package, including protective wrap,
endcaps, and box. This is very impor-
tant. When you call for the RA number,
please let Tech Support know if you
need new packaging. Mackie is not
responsible for any damage that occurs
due to non-factory packaging.
4. Include a legible note stating your name,
shipping address (no P.O. boxes),
daytime phone number, RA number,
and a detailed description of the prob-
lem, including how we can duplicate it.
5. Write the RA number in BIG PRINT
on top of the box.
6. Ship the loudspeaker to us. We suggest
insurance for all forms of cartage. Ship
to this address:

SERVICE DEPARTMENT
Building #11
One Main Street
Whitinsville, MA 01588
7. We'll try to fix the loudspeaker within
three to five business days. Ask Tech
Support for the latest turnaround times
when you call for your RA number.
The product MUST be packaged in its
original packing box and have the RMA
number appear on the box. Once it is
repaired, we'l ship it back the same way
in which it was received. This para-
graph does not necessarily apply to
non-warranty service.
