Appendix D: Rotopod Instructions

ONYX

The Pod section of the Onyx 1640 mixer can be fitted in three different orientations to suit your preference:

1.From the factory, the Pod section has the input and output connections at the rear of the mixer. If you rack mount it, this will take up 14 rack spaces. (Al- low one or two extra rack spaces for making your connections.)

2.The Pod can be fitted on the back of the mixer, with the connections pointing out the back. This will take up 12 rack spaces. The details below show how to change to this configuration. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver.

3.Using an optional bracket, it can also be fitted so the connections face the same direction as the con- sole side (the fun side) of the mixer. This will take up 17 rack spaces.

If you would like to order the bracket, please con- tact your Mackie dealer or Mackie technical sup- port for details. The bracket comes with complete installation instructions.

Rear Mounting the Pod Section

Tools and qualifications:
1.Phillips screwdriver.

2.Pod Relocation Operator's General Journeyman's Certification License (PROGJCL grade III or higher) from a Mackie-accredited Four-Year Pod Relocation Technical Institute.

Procedure:

1.Turn off the mixer, and disconnect the power cord, and all connecting cords. Put down that Ham sandwich and stand away from the bag of Cheezey What-nots.

2.Place the mixer face down on a soft and dry flat surface, previously prepared by removing all dust, crumbs, small children, gnus, long-haired pets, and wildebeests (okay, a wildebeest is a gnu).

3.Remove the four screws as shown below, and keep them handy for step 8.

4.Gently pull the pod section away from the main section, and rotate it so the connections are face downwards. Do not strain the electrical wires join- ing the two.
