Read these instructions. 2. Keep these instructions. 3. Heed all warnings. 4. Follow all instructions. 5. Do not use this apparatus near water. 6. Clean only with dry cloth. 7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. 8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. 11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. 12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. PORTABLE CART WARNING Carts and stands - The Component should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. A Component and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the Component and cart combination to overturn. 13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. 14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as powersupply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. 15. This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no object filled with liquids, such as vases or beer glasses, shall be placed on the apparatus. 16. This apparatus has been designed with Class-I construction and must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection (the third grounding prong). 17. This apparatus has been equipped with an all-pole, rocker-style AC mains power switch. This switch is located on the rear panel and should remain readily accessible to the user. 18. This apparatus does not exceed the Class A/Class B (whichever is applicable) limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications. ATTENTION -- Le présent appareil numérique n'émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant las limites applicables aux appareils numériques de class A/de class B (selon le cas) prescrites dans le réglement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par les ministere des communications du Canada. 19. 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.

Owner's Manual 3 d.2 2-channel DJ Mixer Introduction Thank you for choosing a Mackie d.2 Premium VCA Mixer for scratch and club DJs. It contains all your favorite features in a scratch mixer, along with significant extras that you will come to appreciate. The d.2 is the first DJ mixer made by Mackie. We were able to apply our extensive knowledge of mixer design to the d.2, making it a truly professional product with the high-end performance you've come to expect from Mackie. Features like our "built like a tank" construction, premium analog circuitry, infiniumTM contact-free crossfader, optional FireWireTM connectivity, and "Planet Earth" power supply add value to the d.2 not found in any other scratch mixer in its class. · Optional user-installable FireWire card receives four program channels from PC/Mac and sends a stereo L-R recording stream to PC/Mac. Program faders and Crossfader have variable contour curves and reverse switches. Ultra bright blue/white main meters plus individual program meters for cueing and beat matching. Separate mono/stereo switchable booth output on balanced TRS connectors. Stereo FX loop for outboard effects. "Planet Earth" power-supply operates on voltages between 100 and 240 VAC. Standard IEC power receptacle and power cord. · · · · · · FEATURES · · · Mighty strong construction to withstand the rigors of DJ work. Integrated rack ears (Odyssey Battle BridgeTM compatible). Removable top panel provides access to the rotatable transform switches and to the user-replaceable faders. Premium VCA-based design offers extremely smooth fades and cross fades with very low distortion characteristics for warm, hearty sounding mixes. Mackie mic preamp with 3-band EQ for proquality vocals through the d.2. XLR main outputs with Mic/Line switch (mic position allows stage connections with no D.I. boxes required). RCA main outs with Live/Record switch (Record position delivers a pre-main out). Endless-life optical crossfader from the UKbased Infinium, with adjustable mechanical tension accessible from the top panel. HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL We know that many of you can't wait to get your new mixer hooked up, and you're probably not going to read the manual first (sigh!). So the first section after this Introduction is a Getting Started guide to help you get the mixer set up fast so you can start using it right away. Right after that are the ever popular hook-up diagrams that show you some typical setups. Then, when you have time, read the Features Description section. This describes every knob, button, and connection point on the d.2, roughly following the signal flow through the mixer from top to bottom. Throughout this section you'll find illustrations with each feature numbered. If you want to know more about a feature, simply locate it on the appropriate illustration, notice the number attached to it, and find that number in the nearby paragraphs. This icon marks information that is critically important or unique to the d.2. For your own good, read them and remember them. They will be on the final test. This icon leads you to in-depth explanations of features and practical tips. While not mandatory, they usually have some valuable nuggets of information. Appendix B is a section on connectors: XLR connectors, TRS balanced connectors, TS unbalanced connectors, and RCA unbalanced connectors. Appendix C shows the d.2 specifications, a block diagram, and a gain structure diagram. · · · · · Please write your serial number here for future reference (i.e., insurance claims, tech support, return authorization, etc.) Purchased at: Date of purchase: Appendix D shows how to adjust the position of the transform switches, and how to replace the faders if you ever have to. 4 d.2 DJ Mixer Getting Started READ THIS PAGE!! Even if you never reads manuals, please read and digest the safety instructions on page 2, and this page before you begin using the d.2 mixer. Set the Levels To set the LEVEL controls, it's not even necessary to hear what you're doing at the outputs of the mixer. If you want to listen while you work, plug headphones into the PHONES jack on the front panel, then set the PHONES knob up a little. 1. 2. Select the input using the SOURCE switch. Play something into the selected input. Be sure that the volume of the input source is the same as it would be during normal use. If it isn't, you might have to readjust these levels during the middle of a set. Center the TRANSFORM switch. There will be no output, but the PROGRAM METER will still work. Adjust the cha ...
