The Mackie LM-3204 is a 32-input, 2+2 Bus line level sound mixer. Each of the 16 stereo input modules is fitted with gain, balance, EQ and auxiliary send controls.
The LM-3204 is designed for applications requiring control of a number of stereo/mono line level sources, while providing exceptional audio performance in a small (and very affordable) rack-mounted unit — it makes the ideal centerpiece of a MIDI project suite.
The LM-3204 is equally suited for use as a synthesizer/sampler/effects submixer for stage, sound reinforcement and studio applications. The LM-3204 is also perfect for audio-visual sound mixing in exhibit halls and in presentation rooms, for multiple-source architectural sound distribution, and for simple audio and video post-production suites.
IF YOU IGNORE MANUALS...
How did you find this section?
Because you’re secretly wondering if there might actually be something worth your time in a book like this. What can we say? We’ll give you concise, accurate information that even relates to the real world, some nice patching diagrams, a bit of entertainment and a full year’s worth of weather forecasts for 7 regions of the country. Why, we’re even thinking of drilling a hole in the corner so you can hang it by the toilet.
If you’re moving too fast to review all this great prose, try to check out Section 2 and the system Block Diagram. There are a few handy and/or unique features in the LM-3204 design you should know about.
At the very least, look for this important icon:
It marks information that is absolutely critical or is unique to the LM-3204.
In addition, sections tagged with this icon:
include both in-depth information and our own deeply felt but never biased opinions.
Note: one of the icons in the manual is actually a scratch-off icon, which, if you rub long enough with the edge of a coin, will make a hole in the page. If you succeed in finding a secret message under a Mackie icon, please write us and tell us about it. (We were going to make another industry first and put a scratch-and-sniff icon in this manual, but our Odors and Phero- mones Department could not find a smell related to sound mixing that was not in some way offensive.)
