Mackie Art Series ART500A Specifications

ART Series
Careful acoustic design and advanced materials
have resulted in an exceptional full range, full fidelity,
self-contained sound system. The ART500A provides
an ideal combination of high power, low distortion
and wide bandwidth for permanent installations.
The two-way design consists of a 15" woofer
with a massive magnet structure for accurate,
powerful bass reproduction. The HF section uses
a Polynomial CD horn loaded to a 2" exit titanium
compression driver and new technology, ring-mode
suppression design to deliver controlled coverage
at the highest sonic purity. The CD horn is a part
of the molded enclosure. Two discrete power ampli-
fiers and an electronic crossover are matched to
the two transducers and provide time correction,
CD horn compensation, as well as peak-limiting,
over-excursion and thermal protection.
The ART500A will accept a balanced or unbal-
anced (switch selected) microphone or line input,
adjusted by a single rotary control.
All components are housed in a vented enclo-
sure formed from rigid polypropylene that is further
reinforced with two internal 15mm thick multilayer
wood panels. The woofer is protected by a metal
grille. All controls and connectors are recessed on
the rear. A 1-3/8" stand socket and M10 threaded
inserts are molded into the cabinet to provide
quick and easy installation using specially designed
accessory mounting hardware.
This Mackie Industrial product is covered by our
exclusive, one-time NO FAULT repair policy in addi-
tion to a five year, limited warranty.
