Pro features even

amateurs can

understand.

“Most significant [about the SR Series] is the large degree of flexibility while retaining ease of use. Typi- cally these two factors are at odds — the more something does, the harder it is to make it do what you want. Not so with the SR24•4. Things are laid out very logically, mak- ing operation very intuitive.”

Mackie’s SR Series was designed with professionals

—and amateurs — in mind. That’s why they feature 4 submix buses — “double- bussed” for 8-track recording, 6 aux sends on each input channel, VLZ® Very Low Impedance design, Mackie’s brand new “AIR” EQ circuit, high-headroom mic preamps, constant-power pan pots, 4 aux returns, and more.

The SR Series mixing con- soles are great for live music festivals, theatrical revues, or any event with lots of per- formers. The SR24•4 has 24 inputs and the SR32•4 has 32 (the last two channel strips on each are stereo, for playback of tape decks or CD players). With 20 and 28 mic preamps, respectively, the SR Series consoles are big enough to handle major- sized acts or performances.

6 aux sends make the SR24•4 and 32•4 very adaptable to systems with many effects. Pre-fader auxes are great for monitor sends — which you need more of for live mixing. Post- fader aux sends are for effects, which you usually want more of during studio tracking and mixdown.

You get both with the SR Series. Aux Sends 1 & 2 are pre-fader, Aux Sends 3 & 4 can be used either pre- or post-fader, and Aux Sends

5 & 6 are post-fader. For live mixing, you can have four pre-fader auxes (Aux Sends 1-4), and therefore four dif- ferent monitor mixes, as well as two post-fader auxes for effects. For studio recording, you can have four post-fader auxes (Aux Sends 3-6), for use with all the effects pro- cessors in your rack, plus two pre-fader auxes for headphone mixes.
