Mackie Control repairs


Mackie's DAW control surface devices, the Mackie Control, 8-channel Extender XT, and C4 commander, have been hugely successful. But like all hardware they need occasional maintenance. Mackie’s own support resources are incomplete and the forums are full of frustrated owners trying to find ways to repair their devices economically.



As it happens, we have some experience with repairing these devices and so our presenter, Matt Ottewill, decided to create a video describing how to repair the backlights, replace faders, and update the firmware. These are the three common issues and also the ones that owners are capable of resolving themselves.

Matt aggregated information from manuals, suppliers, parts reviews and his own experience in repairing both 1st generation and Pro versions of the Mackie Control Universal, XT extender and C4 devices, in order to create the video which he posted on his YouTube channel.

So if you are a Mackie Control owner, or are considering buying a second hand unit, take a look here .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeRHw711IFw
