Page 16: General Precautions And Considerations
General Precautions and Considerations Rack Mounting The M-Series amplifiers require two rack space units (2 IU = 3.5"). The M•2000 requires 17.0" depth inside the rack, including the rear supports. The M•3000 and M•4000 require 19.5" depth inside the rack, includ- ing the rear supports. -
Page 17: Input Wiring
If you’re making an unbalanced connection, use a high-quality 2-conductor shielded cable. Your Mackie Dealer can recommend a suitable cable for your application. Refer to “Inputs” [9] on page 13 for more information about making the input connections. -
Page 18: Output Wiring
Unbalanced TS (tip-sleeve) signals can be accom- modated via the combination jack. Make sure the cord terminates with a TS plug (like a guitar plug), or if it’s a TRS plug (like a headphone plug), make sure the ring is tied to the shield, preferably at the source. -
