A.

 LOUD Technologies Inc. warrants all materials,

workmanship and proper operation of this product
for a period of 

three years

 from the original date of

purchase. If any defects are found in the materials
or workmanship or if the product fails to function
properly during the applicable warranty period,
LOUD Technologies, at its option, will repair or
replace the product. 

This warranty applies only to

equipment sold and delivered within the U.S. by
LOUD Technologies or its authorized dealers.

B.

 Failure to register online or return the product

registration card will not void the three-year warranty.

C.

 Service and repairs of Mackie products are to be

performed 

only

 at a factory-authorized service

facility (see D below). Unauthorized service, repairs,
or modification will void this warranty. To obtain
repairs under warranty, you must have a copy of
your sales receipt from the authorized Mackie
dealer where you purchased the product. It is
necessary to establish purchase date and determine
whether your Mackie product is within the
warranty period.

D.

 To obtain factory-authorized service:

1.

 Call Mackie Technical Support at 

800/898-

3211

, 7 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday

(Pacific Time) to get a Service Request Number.
Products returned without a Service Request
Number will be refused.

2.

 Pack the product in its original shipping

carton. Also include a note explaining exactly
how to duplicate the problem, a copy of the
sales receipt with price and date showing,
and your return street address (no P.O. boxes
or route numbers, please!). If we cannot
duplicate the problem or establish the
starting date of your Limited Warranty, we
may, at our option, charge for service time.

3.

 Ship the product in its original shipping

carton, 

freight prepaid

 to the authorized

service center. The address of your closest
authorized service center will be given to you
by Technical Support.

IMPORTANT:  Make sure that the Service
Request Number is plainly written on the
shipping carton.

E.

 LOUD Technologies reserves the right to inspect

any products that may be the subject of any
warranty claims before repair or replacement is
carried out. LOUD Technologies may, at our option,
require proof of the original date of purchase in the
form of a dated copy of the original dealer’s invoice
or sales receipt. Final determination of warranty
coverage lies solely with LOUD Technologies.

F.

 Any products returned to one of the LOUD

Technologies factory-authorized service centers and
deemed eligible for repair or replacement under the
terms of this warranty will be repaired or replaced
within thirty days of receipt. Products returned to
LOUD Technologies that do not meet the terms of
this Warranty will not be repaired unless payment is
received for labor, materials, return freight, and
insurance. Products repaired under warranty will
be returned freight prepaid by LOUD Technologies
to any location within the boundaries of the USA.

G.

 LOUD Technologies warrants all repairs

performed for 90 days or for the remainer of the
warranty period. This warranty does not extend to
damage resulting from improper installation,
misuse, neglect or abuse, or to exterior appearance.
This warranty is recognized only if the inspection
seals and serial number on the unit have not been
defaced or removed.

H.

 LOUD Technologies assumes no responsibility

for the quality or timeliness of repairs performed by
an authorized service center.

I.

 This warranty is extended to the original

purchaser and to anyone who may subsequently
purchase this product within the applicable
warranty period. A copy of the original sales receipt
is required to obtain warranty repairs.

liability on behalf of LOUD Technologies or to make
any warranty for LOUD Technologies Inc.

CFX MKII SERIES LIMITED WARRANTY

Contributors and Colophon

Manual composed by Jeff Gilbert, the original 10-year

Mackoid (not counting Greg, of course). It was created in just 3
hours, using a mascara pencil applied to cocktail napkins in the
back booth of a diner in Bothell WA. He then borrowed snippets
of text found lying on the floor of Mackie’s Engineering and Ad-
vertising departments and pasted them in, using cat saliva. It
was really quite disgusting, so he turned it all over to Dave
Franzwa, a REAL technical writer, to gussy it up.

Additional input provided by Paul Larson, Tech Support

guru, Rick Bos, CFX Series Product Manager (and tall, cool
guy), and CJ Murray, project engineer. Proofreading provided
by honorary Mackoid Linn Compton.
