20.Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart.

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here:

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Mackie for your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) control solution. MCU Pro and MCU XT Pro provide the familiar feel of analog-style mixing to the DAW environment. But they also deliver the most complete feature set and software compatibility of any control surface available today, including USB connectivity.

The labels for the buttons and controls are specific to Apple Logic Pro. Custom lexan overlays are available for other supported DAWs. Some of these are included with the MCU Pro and others may be ordered from our parts department.

These overlays fit over the right-hand side of the control surface and correctly label the buttons for the functionality supported by the DAW being utilized. Visit www.mackie.com/products/mcupro/ mcupro_software to see a list of all currently supported DAWs, and to order an overlay for your particular DAW application.

The MCU Pro includes a license for Tracktion, our easy-to-use Music Production Software for PC or Mac. It is the perfect companion software for the MCU Pro. Follow the instructions on the included license card to download and authorize Tracktion.
