Mackie S525 Passive Speaker S500 Series 1200W 15 inch 2WAY SR Loudspeaker

Mackie S525 Passive Speaker S500 Series 1200W 15 inch 2WAY SR Loudspeaker

Loudspeakers are the  voice of any PA and Mackie S500 Series  Passive Loudspeakers provide the  professional power and performance you want  for your system. Delivering class-leading  power, S500 full-range loudspeakers are  available from a highly-portable 2-way 12″  all the way up to a dual 15″ model that can  handle up to 2400 watts of peak power. The  sound quality is undeniably professional as  S500 loudspeakers utilize high-quality  components like custom-specified drivers and  all-wood enclosures to deliver  touring-quality sound in designs that are  rugged and affordable. After all, there’s no  reason you should sacrifice sound quality  for just a few bucks. With a chest-pounding  subwoofer and a selection of full-range  models, S500 Series Passive Loudspeakers  easily outperform anything in their class.

BUILD TO BE TOUGH AND SOUND GREAT

S500 enclosures are real step from those  rat-fur-covered passive loudspeakers you  find in dingy old venues. They are made of  wood which, aside from being sturdy and  all-natural, provides the best-possible  response, extended low-frequency output  without annoying rattles or vibrations.  Plus, substantial internal bracing provides  a more rigid enclosure, reducing nasty  vibrations that could negatively affect  sound quality. Lastly, the entire acoustic  chamber is air-displaced with adiabatic  acoustic batting. This dampens internal  midrange reflections so they can’t bleed  back through the LF transducer cone and  reach your ears, which causes inferior  enclosures to sound “boxy.” This, along with  LF porting, also allows Mackie S500  enclosures to deliver huge sound in a more  compact design than otherwise possible.

The full-range S500 models also feature a  highly-durable PVC vinyl covering that  protects against the occasional ding or  spilled drink. They also have protective  edge bumpers. If you had roadies, these  bumpers would keep them from messing your  speakers up when they knock against a door  jam or the floor of a beat-up van. The  bumpers also have built-in cups for stacking  multiple full-range loudspeakers along with  sturdy integrated side handles with an  ergonomic design that’s great for  transportation.

HF PROTECTION YOU CAN RELY ON

S500 Series full-range models all feature  protective circuitry for the HF driver. When  the speakers get driven beyond their limits  — not that you would ever do that — the HF  protection circuitry kicks in and  immediately reduces power to the HF driver.  There’s a couple of amazing benefits here.  For one, you will clearly hear the highs  drop in level, effectively signaling that  its time turn things down. But the real  benefit is that this will protect the HF  driver from damage. Once you control the  signal, everything will smoothly return to  the proper levels. And the show goes on,  night after night.

DITCH THE CROSSOVER

When you run a passive system, you want  maximum flexibility. Mackie S500  loudspeakers offer a couple of features that  can really help out when you need it most.  For instance, the S518S 18″ subwoofer  features a low-pass filter that strips away  all highs and mids, focusing power on low  frequencies. This not only lets the sub do  what it does best, it also lets you use a  single 2-channel power amp to drive a stereo  rig without an external crossover,  eliminating another piece of expensive gear  in the rack.

THE VOICE OF YOUR LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM

Passive loudspeaker systems offer an  extremely flexible, modular approach that’s  perfect for anybody that needs to adapt  their sound system for the task at hand or  who wants their system to be able to grow  over time. The Mackie S500 Series Passive  Loudspeakers are the perfect voice for your  passive loudspeaker system, with proven  performance that is as professional as it is  affordable. Pair the S512 or S515 with  Mackie’s popular PPM Series Powered Mixer  for powerful system that’s easy to transport  and set up. Or, integrate with Mackie FRS  Series Power Amplifiers and an SP260 Speaker  Processor for a completely optimized passive  system with the flexibility and performance  you need.
