Announcements!
We get many requests at MTC for help in finding user manuals and other documentation for music equipment. We provide some links for manuals on our Schematics page. But, increasingly, music equipment manufacturers are providing free downloads of documentation for their products at their sites. In many cases, you can save time by checking with them first. Links to many manufacturer sites are on this page and on our Recording page.
