MACKIE CONTROL EXTENDER PRO w/ OLD MACKIE CONTROL?

Post by darrell »

Hi all. Anyone know if the MACKIE CONTROL EXTENDER PRO (the silver one) will play well with the old Mackie Control (Blackface with 'wooden' ends)?

I don't know for sure, but my theory is the new models are exactly the same as the old models with new casing and an integrated MIDI to USB interface added to allow it to have a USB plug instead of a MIDI one.

So I think it should but you should probably confirm that with Mackie.
