Introduction
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
We know that many of you can’t wait to get your new
Digital Snake hooked up, and you’re probably not going
to read the manual first (sigh!). So the next section is a
Quick-Start Guide to help you get the DS3232 set up fast
so you can start using it right away.
Thank you for choosing the Mackie DS3232 Digital
Snake to expand the mixing capabilities of your digital
mixer. The DS3232 provides 32 balanced inputs and
32 balanced outputs, all easily accessible in a six rack
space box.
Then, when you have time, read the Features Descrip-
tion section. In this section, you’ll find illustrations with
each feature numbered. If you want to know more about
a feature, simply locate it on the appropriate illustra-
tion, notice the number attached to it, and find that
number in the nearby paragraphs.
The 32 mic preamps in the DS3232 are comprised of
our highest-quality studio-grade mic preamps, rivaling
expensive stand-alone boutique mic preamps. The A/D
and D/A converters in the DS3232 are pristine 24-bit
converters operating up to 96 kHz. The digital audio is
connected to the mixer using standard Cat5e cable, at
distances up to 300 feet (90 meters).
This allows you to connect your microphones and DI’s
to the DS3232 on-stage, and run a single Cat5e cable
back to your FOH mixing position, eliminating signal
degradation and noise that often results from long runs
of analog cable. Not to mention the pounds of copper
you save by not running a 300 foot 32-channel audio
snake from the stage to the mixing console.
Click Support on the opening page of our website to
find answers to many of your questions. The FAQ (Fre-
quently Asked Questions) section is filled with answers
to many of the questions our Technical Support staff has
fielded over the years.
Check out the glossary for explanations of many of the
pro-audio terms used in our manuals.
Visit our forums to seek help from our online commu-
nity of Mackie users.

Connections
The DS3232 is designed to be connected to your digi-
tal mixer with a standard Cat5e (Ethernet) cable. If you
are using a Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console, you need
to install a U100 network interface card in the TT24 to
make this connection.
Please write your serial number here for future
reference (i.e., insurance claims, tech support,
return authorization, etc.)
1. Plug a microphone or other signal source into chan-
nel 1’s MIC input [4] on the DS3232.
2. Connect the DS3232 to your digital mixing console
using a standard Cat5e (Ethernet) cable with RJ45
connectors on each end (do not use a crossover
cable). The connector is located at the top of the
front panel on the DS3232.

Other Nuggets of Wisdom
Options
•
For optimum sonic performance, the channel and
MAIN MIX faders should be set near the “U” (unity
gain) markings.
When the DS3232 is connected, there are some options
that become available from the mixing console for the
DS3232.
•
•
•
•
Always turn the MAIN MIX faders, GROUP faders,
and MONITOR knob down on the mixing console be-
fore making connections to and from your DS3232.
Gain: The gain of the mic preamps in the DS3232 are
controlled from the mixing console. For the TT24, the
console V-Pot TRIM controls become GAIN controls for
the input channels using the DS3232 inputs.
When you power down your equipment, turn off
the amplifiers first. When powering up, turn on the
amplifiers last.
Since the DS3232 mic gain control replaces the Digital
Trim control on the TT24, the Digital Trim control is
accessed from the V-Pots by pressing CTRL+TRIM at the
same time. The V-Pots indicate mic pre gain with left to
right continuously lit LEDs, and digital trim with a single
lit LED.
Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods.
Please see the Safety Instructions on page 2 for
information on hearing protection.
Save the shipping box! You may need it someday,
and you don’t want to have to pay for another one.

That’s it for the “Getting Started” section. Next comes
the “Features” section, with descriptions of every input
and output. We encourage you to take the time to read
all of the feature descriptions, but at least you know it’s
there if you have any questions.
The gain for the selected channel can also be adjusted
from the Overview touch screen. The Digital Trim control
that is normally displayed is now replaced with a Gain
knob showing a readout of the amount of gain being
applied by the mic preamp. Note that the displayed
value takes into account whether or not the 23 dB PAD
is engaged. So what you see is what you get; no subtrac-
tion required (see, we’re always striving to make your life
easier!). The gain range is summarized below:
Mic IN (PAD out): +15 dB to +70 dB
Mic IN (PAD in):
–8 dB to +47 dB
The DS3232 mic gain is also adjustable by turning the
channel V-Pot when “METERS” is selected in the V-Pot
Control area.
48V: Each of the 32 XLR inputs on the DS3232 are
equipped with 48V phantom power, which can be
turned on or off for each input. In the TT24 touch-
screen, the 48V phantom power button appears just
below the SOLO button.
PAD: There is a 23 dB pad on each of the 32 inputs of
the DS3232. Turn the pad on when using a mic with a
particularly high output level, or when connecting a line-
level input. In the TT24 touchscreen, the PAD indicator
appears next to the GAIN control. Turn the PAD on and
off by pressing either the knob for the GAIN control below
the touchscreen, or the Gain V-Pot for that channel (when
TRIM is selected in the V-Pot Control area). The bottom
red LED in the V-Pot lights when the PAD is enabled.
Note: The Gain, Pad, and 48V phantom power can also
be adjusted from the TT Control software application.

microphone. The microphone preamps feature our latest
remote-controlled design, with higher fidelity and headroom
rivaling most standalone mic preamps on the market today.
1. Network Connection
The XLR inputs are wired as follows:
Pin 1 = Shield or ground
This RJ45 connector transfers the digital audio and
control data between the DS3232 and the mixing con-
sole. Use a standard Cat5e Ethernet cable to make this
connection.
Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 = Negative (– or cold)
These XLR connectors are also equipped with 48V
phantom power, which can be turned on and off from
the mixing console.

This is a Neutrik EtherCon connector that
features a secure latching system when used with the
Neutrik male cable carrier for preassembled RJ45 plugs.
The routing of the 32 inputs on the DS3232 is config-
ured by the mixing console. Generally, this will be done
in the Setup window for the expansion cards where the
U100 Network card is installed.
ꢀ. POWER Indicator
This green LED lights up when the POWER switch is
turned on and the linecord is attached and plugged into
an AC power source.
If you are connecting a line-level signal to one of the
inputs, engage the PAD for that input. This reduces the
input sensitivity of the mic preamp so it can accept a
line-level signal. Also, make sure that phantom power
isn’t turned on for that channel. It could damage the
output stage of the line-level device you have connected
to the XLR balanced input.
3. COMM Indicator
This LED lights up to indicate that communication is
established between the DS3232 and the mixing console
via the U100 Network card.
Note: Phantom power should only be
used with microphones designed to
accept it.

ꢄ. POWER Receptacle
These are male XLR connectors that provide balanced
line-level signals.
This is a standard 3-prong IEC power connector. Con-
nect the detachable linecord (included in the box with
your DS3232) to the power receptacle, and plug the oth-
er end of the linecord into an AC outlet. The DS3232 has
a universal power supply that can accept any AC voltage
ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC. No need for voltage
select switches. It will work virtually anywhere in the
world. That’s why we call it a “Planet-Earth” power sup-
ply! This also means that it is less susceptible to voltage
sags or spikes, providing greater electromagnetic isola-
tion and better protection against AC line noise.
The XLR outputs are wired as follows:
Pin 1 = Shield or ground
Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 = Negative (– or cold)
Like the inputs, the routing for the 32 returns on the
DS3232 is configured by the mixing console. Generally,
this will be done in the Setup window for the expansion
cards where the U100 Network card is installed. In the
case of the TT24, there is no configuration required for
the returns.
ꢅ. Fan
The DS3232 is fan-cooled and brings air in through
the sides and out through the rear. Make sure that cool
air is available at the sides of the unit, and that there
is room at the rear for the warm air to exit from the
enclosure and dissipate. If rack-mounted, make sure
the DS3232 is not pulling warm (or hot) air in from the
rack, and that the sides and rear are not obstructed.
Rear Panel
All the connection points (other than the power cord)
are located on the front panel for easy accessibility when
rack mounted.
ꢃ. POWER Switch
This one is self-explanatory. When the POWER switch
is turned ON, power is supplied to the DS3232 and the
POWER LED on the front panel lights up.

Appendix A: Service Information
Warranty Service
Details concerning Warranty Service are spelled out in
the Warranty section on page 15.
•
Try putting the U100 card in another slot (be sure
to turn everything off before removing and replac-
ing the card).
If you think your DS3232 has a problem, please check
out the following troubleshooting tips and do your best
to confirm the problem. Visit the Support section of our
lots of useful information such as FAQs, documentation,
and user forums. You may find the answer to the prob-
lem without having to send your Digital Snake away.
•
Is the fan running and unobstructed so it can
circulate air through the DS3232? If the DS3232
feels hot to the touch, power off the unit for a few
minutes to allow it to cool. Turn the unit back on
and, if communication is restored, provide better
ventilation so cool air is available to the DS3232.
These may sound obvious to you, but here are some
things you can check. Read on.
No Input
•
Is the mixing console properly configured to accept
the input signals from the DS3232? Make sure the
inputs for the mixing console have been setup to
accept the 32 input signals from the DS3232.
Troubleshooting
No Power
•
Is the input GAIN control for the channel turned up
on the mixing console?
•
•
Our favorite question: Is it plugged in?
•
•
Is the fader turned up?
Make sure the power cord is securely seated in the
IEC socket [7] and plugged all the way into the AC
outlet.
Is the signal source turned up? Make sure the
signal level from the selected input source is high
enough to light up some of the INPUT meter LEDs.
•
•
Make sure the AC outlet is live (check with a tester
or lamp).
•
Try the same source signal in another channel, set
up exactly like the suspect channel.
Is the POWER [6] switch on? Make sure the
POWER switch on the rear panel is in the ON posi-
tion (up).
No Output
•
•
Is the associated level control (if any) turned up?
•
•
•
Is the POWER LED [2] on the front panel illumi-
nated? If not, make sure the AC outlet is live.
Try switching the outputs around. For example, for
the left and right outputs, if the left output is pre-
sumed dead, switch the left and right cords at the
DS3232 end. If the problem stays on the left side,
it’s not the DS3232.
Are all the lights out in your building? If so, contact
your local power company to get power restored.
If the POWER LED is not illuminated, and you are
certain that the AC outlet is live, it will be neces-
sary to have your DS3232 serviced. There are no user
serviceable parts inside. Refer to “Repair” at the end
of this section to find out how to proceed.
Bad Sound
•
Is the input connector plugged completely into the
jack?
•
Is it loud and distorted? Make sure the input GAIN
control for that channel is set correctly. Try en-
abling the PAD, or reduce the signal level on the
input source if possible.
No COMM Indication
•
•
•
Are the power switches on the mixer and the
DS3232 turned on?
Verify that the Cat5e cable is working properly.
Replace with a known working cable, if possible.
•
If possible, listen to the signal with headphones
plugged into the input source device. If it sounds
bad there, it’s not the DS3232 causing the problem.
Does the Snake appear in the Expansion Slot Setup
Screen? If not, check to see that the U100 card is
properly seated in the expansion slot.

Input and Output Wiring
Use a high-quality 3-conductor shielded cable to
connect the signal to and from the balanced inputs and
outputs on the DS3232. If you’re making an unbalanced
connection, use a high-quality 2-conductor shielded
cable. Your Mackie Dealer can recommend a suitable
cable for your application.
When connecting a balanced signal using XLR plugs,
they’re wired thusly, per AES (Audio Engineering Soci-
ety) standards:
Pin 2 = Hot (+)
Pin 3 = Cold (–)
Pin 1 = Shield (Ground)

RJ45 Wiring
The RJ45 connector on the DS3232 uses a standard
Cat5e Ethernet cable to make the connection between
the DS3232 and the U100 Network card installed in the
mixing console. A Cat5e cable offers improved perfor-
mance over a Cat5 cable, including a higher bandwidth
(350 MHz vs. 100 MHz for a standard Cat5 cable).
Make sure you use a straight-through cable, and not a
crossover Ethernet cable.
