Mackie Repair Help

[dcr]

Greetings!

It looks like my Mackie 1604-VLZ3 is sick and needs to go tot he shop. Only thing is, from looking at the Mackie website, it appears they'd prefer that you used an Authorized Service Center rather than send it back tot he factory. There is a quasi-local repair center, but none of the guys I know have enve heard of it, so I think I'll go another route.

Anyone out there used a particular Mackie Authorized Service Center with great results that they would recommend?

Thanks in advance for any info!

Can you call a local music store and ask who they would recommend.

With all the issues LOUD has at the moment coupled with all the issues Mackie has had of late actually producing and shipping product I would highly suggest finding anyone local to you to service your mixer, if you send it to Mackie you might not ever see it again

Only local music store is GC.....NOT gonna ask them for any technical advice.

Back in the day, when all Mackie products were designed and built in the USA (Woodinville, WA) I'd say send it there and they'll fix it.

Now that their stuff is made in China and owned by Loud technologies, I don't know what to tell you.

Most of the local working musicians were pretty disappointed when Mackie sold out.

JK Sound in Frisco, fixed my M1400i. Good guys, no problems, but not close to you.

I had tried to have my amp repaired at Leo's Pro Audio, in Oakland, but their shop rate was higher than Mackie would pay for warranty work.
