Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Mackie Spike Powered Recording System.

This is a complete, compact solution for computer-based music production

on either a Macintosh or a PC.

Spike consists of the XD-2 USB Interface and all the software you need to

record and create wonderful music using your computer.

XD-2 USB Interface

The XD-2 USB interface provides two analog audio inputs which can accept

microphone level, line level, or direct instrument input signals. Mackie's

high-headroom preamps convert the analog audio signals into digital sig-

nals. In addition, there is a coaxial S/PDIF (RCA-type) digital input and

output.

When a microphone is plugged into an XLR input, that channel automati-

cally adjusts to become a mic input. When a 1/4" TRS or TS connector is plugged in, that channel

adjusts to become a line-level input (or an instrument-level input if the INSTRUMENT (guitar icon)

button is pressed in).

An onboard SHARC processor provides full EQ and dynamics processing, including a 4-band Para-

metric Equalizer, a Compressor/Limiter, and a Gate/Expander, without draining the host computer of

processing power. The processed signals are transferred to the host computer via the USB connec-

tion. Master mixes can also be transferred from your host computer into the XD-2 for processing, and

then output to an external device, or sent back into the computer as a stereo mixdown pass.

A front panel MIX knob is provided to adjust between low-latency direct monitoring (from the analog

or digital inputs) and playback monitoring (from the USB input). Monitoring is provided by the head-

phone jack on the front, and by balanced outputs on the back, each with their own

level controls.
