It’s been 20 years since Mackie first rocked the foundations of pro audio with the introduction of the CR-1604. Over the course of two decades, Mackie has released countless innovative products that have irrevocably shaped the music industry. Mackie wants to celebrate the past 20 years by asking Mackoids to submit their Mackie stories and photos or Mackie videos for the 20 Years Running Contest.

We want to hear about your beer-drenched VLZ Pro that still works; the time you dropped your SRM450 off a building by accident and it powered up for your gig the same night; your original CR-1604 you still use religiously; your world-record for the largest collection of Mackie vintage swag; your Running Man tattoo that you had to get to show your devotion for Mackie. Whatever your story, funny or heartfelt, long or short, old school or new school… we want to hear it.

The Mackoid with the best Mackie story (based on creativity, originality, composition and overall impression) will be featured in Mackie’s next e-newsletter, have their own feature story on www.mackie.com and be the lucky winner a pair of Mackie’s New HD1531 High-Definition Powered Loudspeakers and a 1604-VLZ3 Compact Mixer. A prize valued at $4,000USD.

So let’s go over this again. It’s pretty easy…

1. Remember a crazy, under-the-influence, not-under-the-influence, but should have been-under-the-influence, heartfelt, cannot believe that happened, disgusting, or funny story.
2. Write it down.
3. Find a photo that explains this story.
4. Or substitute number 2 & 3 and create a video and post it to You Tube.
5. Send us the story and photo or You Tube video link.
6. Sit back and wait to see if you are the winner.
7. Hopefully win a pair of Mackie’s New HD1531 High-Definition Powered Loudspeakers and a 1604-VLZ3 Compact Mixer.
