User manual MACKIE ART500 DATASHEET

[. . . ] ART Series The same careful acoustic design and advanced materials used in the ART active speakers have been utilized in the ART500 passive speaker. Combining high efficiency, high power handling and excellent sonic performance, the ART500 provides practical solutions for permanent installation applications. The two-way design consists of a 15" woofer with a 4" extended coil and a massive magnet structure for accurate, powerful bass reproduction.

The drivers shall be crossed over at 1. 8kHz by a 2-pole, passive network that contains equalization for the constant directivity horn and shall present a nominal 8 load to the power amplifier. When measured (1kHz­10kHz) the directivity factor shall be at least 10. 7. The loudspeaker shall be capable of operating continuously with a pink noise signal delivered at 500W RMS. It shall produce at least 100dB SPL (300Hz­3kHz) at 1m with an input of 1W RMS and its peak power handling capability shall not be less than 2000W Peak, producing 133dB SPL (1m, anechoic). The nominal frequency response of the system shall be 70Hz­17kHz ±3dB. The reinforced polypropylene enclosure shall have a volume of at least 2. 64 cu.
