Owner’

s Manual

Thank you for choosing Mackie for your Digital 

Audio Workstation (DAW) control solution. MCU 

Pro and MCU XT Pro provide the familiar feel of 

analog-style mixing to the DAW environment. But 

they also deliver the most complete feature set and 

software compatibility of any control surface  

available today, including USB connectivity.

The labels for the buttons and controls are  

specific to Apple Logic Pro. Custom lexan overlays 

are available for other supported DAWs. Some of 

these are included with the MCU Pro and others 

may be ordered from our parts department.

 These overlays fit over the right-hand side of 

the control surface and correctly label the buttons 

for the functionality supported by the DAW being 

utilized. Visit www.mackie.com/products/mcupro/

mcupro_software to see a list of all currently  

supported DAWs, and to order an overlay for your 

particular DAW application.

The MCU Pro includes a license for Tracktion, 

our easy-to-use Music Production Software for PC 

or Mac. It is the perfect companion software for 

the MCU Pro. Follow the instructions on the  

included license card to download and authorize  

Tracktion.

20. 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:
