You might call mackie for a suggestion at 800-258-6883. Sometimes there may be older parts in stock at other Mackie distributers around the world. Here's a list of contact info Mackie International Distributors It doesn't hurt to ask and email is free!
I had good luck getting parts for various musical electronics out of Canada
Turn gain CCW. plug microphone in, mute the channel. turn gain CW until peak LED flashes (while singing loud!) and turn gain back a little bit.
Take the channel fader down, unmute the channel. Put masters at 0dB (near maximum) and adjust the loudness with the channel fader to what you like.
EQ: it always depends on your location. Keep it flat. You might like to reduce at about 200-300 Hz. Cut the low end (Hi Pass Filter = on) or if no HiPass reduce "bass" for about 6...10dB.
ok?
If the faders have become noisy, they may be changing due to poor contact. Try putting a small amount of CRC226 in the center of the slot of each fader and then move fader knob to top and bottom. CRC226 is available in the electrical department of Home Depot in a small can with spout... about $2.70
Your best bet is to visit the link below and select the "local distributor" option under section 4. You will then get contact information for a local distributor. I have found Mackie to be very helpful with parts requests. Please note that these units are a bit tricky to open up. Take care during dis-assembly not to tear any cables.
Removing all the knobs from a section of the board where the bad fader is can be a hassle.and sometimes some of the nuts from jack or screws from some connectors.
You are probably better to order the part from Mackie to get the exact part. Most are made by ALPS and I get ones for some equipment from DigiKey.com or Mouser.com. However, it does take a bot o knowledge to get the correct part and sometimes requires cutting the shaft of one that is too long.
One MUST match the mounting holes, resistance value, length of throw AND the "taper". Yours will probably be a standard "Audio taper" for the main output.
You may be able to buy the parts from Digikey.com or Mouser.com.
There usually is a number on the side. Most are made by "ALPS".
You need to match the resistance value and the "taper" which is indicated by a letter following the nunber. You will want an "Audio Taper" for these functions.
Replace ANY flakey ones because there are a LOT of screws to remove to get at these.
You sometimes have to cut the handle down to match the original ones. Use tin snips to cut and file off any burrs.
You can purchase the channel faders directly from Mackie Service Dept., you can replace them yourself if you're good at soldering - HOWEVER, be advised that disassembling the unit to get at the faders to replace them will require a lot of time and patience if you've never done it before. If the faders are not moving smoothly, it's possible that the wrong type of cleaning spray was used on them and there's a possibility that they could stop moving and controlling sound.
If all other functions work for those channels, the most likely problem is the fader itself. These can fail and operate more like switches rather than faders. Without witnessing the behavior, I can not state that for sure. While these mixers are not the hardest to work on, they are time consuming. The faders can be purchased from Mackie directly. If you need to have this repaired, any shop that repairs audio gear should be able to erpair this for you. Where are you located?
