I ASSUME that you plugged your guitar into a DI box that then used BALANCED XLR cable to the Mackie board??? The guitar generates line level and the Mackie board inputs are mostly mic level... you will get distortion if you overdrive the Mackie board. You could try going into line level jacks, HOWEVER if you go any distance balanced interconnects must be used. Even the line level jacks require using TRS balanced cables. Try is using a DI box, and preferably one with a gain switch. Also fiddle with the ground lift switch on it for least noise or hum. I use the LiveWire brand DI boxes and they seem to work fine. Then it is important to set the gain with the trim on the MAckie so you don't clip. Also be aware that an acoustic guitar can "hear" speakers and you can get feedback or regeneration that will sound like you are in a cave.
You are probably overdriving the inputs. You haven't told us the source of the inputs and we can't guess where they may come from. You need to read the manual and make sure your source outputs are within range of what this unit requires.
If you have the receipt from where you purchased it, return it for refund. If you don't, they might not give you a refund or they'll give you store credit on a their store gift card.

It's a cheap(ish) generic screw on lens multiplier and so compatibility with anything it's screwed onto is a matter of pot-luck, especially as the conversion factor is so high.
There is nothing you can do, other than to try alternative brands (preferably not exceeding 1.4x) or to obtain the expensive Panasonic version which is designed to be compatible with your camera. Even the official product will produce some distortion (usually barrel distortion) and most likely a fair bit of chromatic aberration. It's just usually less adverse than with the generic products.
Hi, If same lines/ distortion appears in every input of tv then it is lcd panel (screen) problem as question shows it is Sony KDL-32ML130 lcd tv. Can you please post picture of tv screen to show distortion/ lines to diagnose it correctly? Thanks.
