People who use ribbon mics wouldn't be caught dead with a Mackie just
on general principles (or at least shouldn't). Kind of like mixing 50
year old Scotch with Coca Cola.
Sadly it happens to me a lot.
But the M-500 works surprisingly well into a Mackie. You can hear an example
on the penultimate RAP CD compilation. I find that going into a 1:1:1
transformer splitter unit actually improves the sound of ribbons a lot when
the PA console is a Mackie, although it doesn't do anything to improve the
noise floor.
