Mackie says no problems?I am a pro audio installer. I have installed lots of these. They last a few years then detinate into a fireball.Do not be suprised to see smoke. Something happens in the power supply and smokes the pc board. I tried to contact Mackie about it( considering I have 3 with consequetive serial numbers) they would not reply to emails to there web site. When I called them directly, they told me that they never had a problem like that. Funny, I have 6 in my shop all with the same exact problem.Junk in my opionion.Try QSC I've seen them installed for over 15 years stuffed with dust and working. Mackie has great features like built in sub crossover.But at what cost?
