In this three part series I teardown, fix, and service an early 90s Mackie CR-1604. Learn more about these mixers, early 90s electronics, and service. These mixers are common and can often be purchased very inexpensively but were well designed and had great specs for the era. I paid $75 for the mixer featured in this video plus $50 more for second one that I used for parts.
Mixer videos have been the most viewed episodes on this channel. I thought it would be fun to get away from the screen a few days and work on some vintage hardware. Don't worry, I will have more software tutorials on the channel again soon.
