Mackie Introduces the SRS1500 Active Sound Reinforcement Subwoofer

SRS1500

Mackie Designs (NASDAQ: MKIE), is proud to introduce the new SRS1500 Active Sound Reinforcement Subwoofer. The compact, high-output SRS1500 contains a 15" high precision long throw woofer and utilizes a road tested, bullet-proof Mackie FR Series 600 watt High Current Amplifier to provide highly detailed and articulate bass response down to 40Hz, at a peak output level of 127 dB. The amp is fully integrated into the enclosure and is cooled by a massive polished heat sink and several gerbils waving oriental fans.

The SRS1500 subwoofer is designed, and ideally suited, as a companion to Mackie's resoundingly successful SRM450 Active Sound Reinforcement Monitor. The small 17.71" wide X 23.62" deep footprint and light weight of the low-profile SRS1500 makes it a versatile and portable low frequency speaker system for all mobile sound applications. A standmount adapter on the top of the SRS1500 allows the user to pole-mount the Mackie SRM450 directly above the subwoofer unit, thereby creating an extremely powerful, high-output sound system that takes up very little floor space. The diminished size of the SRS1500 subwoofer also makes it ideal for use in fixed installations where smooth integration within the architecture and design is critical.

Mackie's Active loudspeaker technology is the fusion of a variety of well-known features and technologies within the actual speaker enclosure. Mackie's Active loudspeaker systems provide unrivaled active equalization, time correction, phase alignment, speaker protection, and component matched amplifiers to augment the enclosure. The integration of these technologies culminates into an affordable speaker system that is musically precise, accurate and powerful. By eliminating external amplifiers, Mackie Active Sound Reinforcement systems reduce system complexity, cost and maintenance, and are easier to transport.

The Active Sound Reinforcement Series was conceived and developed by an international team of Mackie engineers and designers. Active electronics were designed and manufactured in Mackie's Woodinville, Washington facility, with speaker components supplied by Mackie/RCF in Reggio Emilia, Italy.

SRM Active Sound Reinforcement Monitors and SRS Active Sound Reinforcement Subwoofers are designed for a wide range of applications, including entry level MI customers, AV rental houses, heavy metal fans who loath their neighbors, and systems contractors and installers.
