Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this EQ plug-in from Massenburg Design Works. It is one of the exciting new family of 24-bit plug- ins for the D8B, specifically designed for the new Mackie Universal Effects (UFX) card.
This high-resolution parametric EQ contains five discrete, overlapping bands. Each band’s center frequency can be set anywhere within the entire 16 Hz–21.5 kHz frequency range.

About the D8B UFX card
The UFX card provides robust processing power for computation- heavy plug-ins. The UFX card is a 4-in/4-out architecture, which means it can support four mono, two mono and one stereo, or two stereo sends simultaneously. Up to four UFX cards can be installed in the D8B, allowing up to sixteen simultaneous single- channel effects, eight stereo plug-ins, or combinations thereof.
Note: Earlier D8Bs were fitted with 16 MB of memory. It is recommended that you increase this to 32 MB (as fitted in newer D8Bs) if you install more than one UFX card. Memory upgrade instructions are supplied with each UFX card.
