I remember when their first mixers came out, they made a point of the
pots being sealed, and none of this stuff would be needed. You'd know
betterm of course, since you wrote a lot of their manuals.

I remember this as well!!
Also the fact that the knobs have a ridge on them which prevents them
from impaling themselves into the board if something gets dropped on
the desk.
IOW the ridge hits the faceplate before the the shaft of the pot ends
up coming out the back of the pot.

Gotta give Mackie credit, their manuals are legendary.


One of the mixers (maybe the 1202) came in a box labeled "mix music and
martinis", or something like that.
