Note: The Remotes

duplicate nearly all

of the front panel

operating controls.

When we describe a

front panel opera-

tion, you’ll probably

find it available on

the Remote also. If

you have a Remote,

try it both ways. If

you don’t have a Re-

mote yet, think of

how convenient it

would be.

Note: The MDR24/96 ‘REMOTE’ and Eth-

ernet jacks both accept CAT-5 Ethernet

cables - don’t get them mixed up!

Footswitch

Remote 24 / Remote 48 (Optional)

Installing either remote is as simple as plugging in a telephone. Connect one end
of the cable (supplied with the Remote) to the ‘REMOTE’ jack on MDR24/96 rear
panel, and the other end to the ‘TO HDR REMOTE JACK’ jack on the Remote 24,
or to the “TO HDR” jack on the Remote 48. It’s OK to plug or unplug either
Remote with the MDR24/96 powered on. However, if you plug the Remote 48 into
the MDR24/96 while both are powered on, you must power cycle the Remote 48 to
reset the connection.

Footswitch (Optional)

For hands-free do-it-yourself punches and other frequently-used functions like
Play/Stop, Punch In/Out and Take Select, connect the cable of a momentary,
normally open footswitch to the ‘FOOT SWITCH’ 1/4" TS jack on the rear panel of
the MDR24/96, the Remote 24, or Remote 48. If you have a Remote installed you
can connect two foot switches, one to the MDR24/96 and one to the Remote. Each
footswitch functions independently of the other. Footswitch functionality is
assigned in the front panel System menu. See the MDR24/96 Technical Reference
Manual for more details.

Power-Up

OK, NOW you can turn it on. Assuming you have already connected the MDR24/96
to your console, power up the MDR24/96 first, then the outboard equipment and
console, and finally the power amplifiers or powered monitors. Audio equipment
tends to generate unexpected clicks and pops when you power it up, so by
powering up your monitoring system last, you’ll save your speakers and your ears.

Before you read the next section, take a quick, self-guided tour of the front panel
display and controls to get a sense of where they are.

Note:

Note: If you are us-

ing an MDR24/96

with the Mackie

Digital 8•Bus con-

sole, you may need

to turn on the Digi-

tal 8•Bus first. The

Clock I/O on the

D8B prefers not to

see an active signal

at its Word Clock

input when it pow-

ers up.
