There are repair services on ebay etc but not cheap.

Why on earth would you want to fix a new item that does not work. Take it back.

That sounds like the amp board died. Mackie parts can be hard to source, and Mackie is really slow to ship, so I suggest taking it to a Mackie authorized service center. Here's a link- Contact Support Mackie

Yes, it's normal. You can probably turn the speaker volume down to minimum before turning them on to minimize it.

Probably the power inside the mixer needs to be looked at.

Are you actually sending a signal to the effects unit? normally you would have it in an insert although I know some people who take a sub channel out to the effects unit and then feed it back in through a mix channel if they run out of inserts or aux busses. What you describe above does not make sense to me. Can you elaborate with the full signal path for the effects unit?

Why are you not using the inserts? Either assign a sub channel to your effects unit or do it at a channel level. In either case using the insert.
