The SA1521 is a truly collaborative effort between Mackie, EAW Engineering and RCF Precision. It's an honest-to-gosh technology breakthrough - an active, full-bandwidth solution with seamlessly integrated power and control, premium transducers and that wonderfully wide dispersion that lets everyone in the audience hear the same thing.

Put the SA1521 up against the most popular 15" two-way systems in the world and what happens? You suddenly discover that the competition is obsolete - problematic in design, poor in definition and basically nothing more than a 15" and a 1" playing separate tunes.

It doesn't take long to realize that the new SA1521 truly RE-DEFINES 2-way 15-inch speaker systems.The SA1521 is an Active speaker system that expands the performance envelope of previous Mackie Active products. It has better resolution, output and linearity than the SRM450 and higher output than the SR1530 product. It also sets a new standard for 15-inch woofer/ 1-inch compression driver based systems through it's smoothness, power and mid-band performance. This leads to a compact product with a broad range of applications that is powerful and very easy to use.

The SWA1501 features a sophisticated on board control system allowing for flexible integration with active or passive full range or mid/high speaker systems. The input panel accepts line level input signal and has LOOP OUT connectors for signal routing to other devices. It also has HIGH PASS out connectors for connection to active full range speakers or amplifiers powering passive full range speakers. All signal routing is through XLR connectors in L+R stereo or mono. There is a phase selection switch and a recessed level control. The system features thermal protection for the power supply and amplifier module and also incorporates RMS limiting protection for the amplifier stage that limits the amount of long term power deliver to the transducer.The cabinet is constructed using 15mm thick multi-layered birch plywood and finished in black splatter paint. There are one handle on each side for efficient loading and transport as well as a top, female pole mount fixture.

Mackie's FUSSION 3000 is a high-output, 3-way, medium-throw, active speaker system. It features high-precision transducers combined with application-specific amplifier technology that allows this integrated system to generate high output levels with very low distortion characteristics.

FUSSION 3000 transducers include a special, low inductance, double voice-coil 8-inch, horn-loaded (80° x 70° ) midrange transducer designed to deliver the lowest possible distortion even at full power. It operates between 500Hz and 2,500Hz, eliminating the placement of a crossover point in the middle of critical voice frequencies. The result is super-smooth phase and power response that delivers extraordinary intelligibility at high output levels.

A 3-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver, mounted to an 80° x 70° horn with a 1.4-inch exit throat, reproduces frequencies above 2,500Hz.

The C300 (Speakon®) and the C300i (1/4 inch) uses the same basic transducers as the active SRM450 – with two differences. TheC300/C300i's 1.75-inch high frequency compression driver uses a composite mylar diaphragm; the12-inch low frequency transducer incorporates a 3-inch Inside/Outside temperature- resistant voice coil. Both of these compensate for the fact that the speaker system must be able to handle a wide range of external power inputs (including our mega-powered PPM808S or PPM808M).

The C300/C300i uses the same studio-quality horn assembly with multi-cell aperture horn throat and large format exponential/conical high-frequency horn mouth for superb dispersion. This means everyone in your audience hears clearly... not just the people in the middle between the speakers.

The S500 is so efficient that it makes beautiful music with any of our PPM powered mixers. But when you team it with the high-wattage models, it really starts shaking your audience up. Tight bass, smooth midrange, spine-tingling treble... at shock volumes up to 127dBA. We're talking loud and accurate.

Like the C300 and SRM450, the S500 employs a trapezoidal enclosure that's both strong and resonance damping. Unlike them, it's built of rugged 16-ply Baltic Birch with tough end caps made of pressure-injected structural resin. The perforated steel grille is coated with a special scuff and weather-resistant polymer coating. Cast aluminum side handles are placed at the speaker's center of gravity for easy carrying and set-up.

Rear panel inputs include both 1/4" and Neutrik® Speakon® connectors wired in parallel. Frankly, the S500 wasn't designed to be the cheapest 15-inch 2-way system on the market. It was designed to be one of the most accurate and easy on the ears at high output levels (which costs a bit more).
