Two-Way Active Speaker System

ART200A

SPEAKER

■ Careful acoustic design and advanced materials

have resulted in an exceptional full range, full fidelity,
self-contained sound system. The ART200A provides
an ideal combination of high power, low distortion and
wide bandwidth for permanent installations.

■ The two-way design consists of a 12" woofer that

uses a massive magnet structure for accurate bass
reproduction and a CD horn loaded to a 1" exit com­pression driver. The CD horn is a part of the molded
enclosure. Two discrete power amplifiers and an elec­tronic crossover are matched to the two transducers
and provide time correction, CD horn compensation
and peak-limiting, as well as over-excursion and
thermal protection.

■ The ART200A will accept a balanced or unbalanced

(switch selected) microphone or line input, adjusted by
a single rotary control.

■ All components are housed in a lightweight, vented

enclosure formed from polypropylene that is extremely
rigid. 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 an

exclusive, one-time, NO FAULT repair policy in addition
to a five year limited warranty.

Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications

The amplified loudspeaker system shall be a self-con­tained unit, housed in a reinforced polypropylene enclosure
and consisting of the following sub-systems: (1) vented two­way loudspeaker system, (2) integrated power amplifiers and
crossover network, (3) integrated mic/line input with music
and voice equalizers.

The loudspeakers shall consist of a 12 inch low­frequency, cone driver, and a 90° x70° high-frequency,
constant-directivity polynomial horn with a horn-loaded, 1
inch compression driver. The drivers shall be aligned with
an analog circuit and crossed over at 1.8kHz by a 4-pole
network built into the power amplifiers. Together they shall
be capable of producing 122dB SPL (1m, anechoic).

Two discrete amplifiers shall be provided, capable of con­tinuously delivering 120W RMS to the low-frequency driver
and 40W RMS to the high-frequency driver. Distortion shall
be less than 0.1% when measured at 1kHz and 10kHz. They
shall be equipped with a multi-function protection circuit to
peak limit and protect the loudspeakers from overheating,
over-excursion, short circuits and extreme operating temper­atures. An indicator lamp shall illuminate when any aspect of
the protection circuit engages.

The integrated mic/line input shall be actively balanced,
may accept an unbalanced input, and shall be paralleled to
an output. Both shall have XLR connectors. The input shall
have a switch to select between 8mV mic and 125mV line
levels. The unit shall be provided with both voice and music
optimization equalization that can be activated with buttons
on the rear panel. The voice equalizer shall provide +4dB at
3kHz and 6kHz. The music equalizer shall provide +4dB at
65Hz and +4dB at 12kHz. A continuously variable, rotary
master volume control shall be provided.

The power supply shall be internal and connected to 50 or
60Hz source current through a detachable IEC power cord. It
shall have an on/off switch, fuse holder, and threaded
grounding screw on the rear panel. AC voltage shall be selec­table between 115 and 230VAC. The power supply shall draw
a maximum of 2A and illuminate an indicator light when on.

The reinforced polypropylene enclosure shall have a vol­ume of at least 1.65 cu. ft., be trapezoidal in shape and
equipped with a grille to protect the cone driver. At least four
M10 threaded sockets shall be molded into the cabinet for
attaching mounting hardware, designed for the unit and

available from the manufacturer. A full metal grille assembly,
covering the front of the enclosure shall be available from
the manufacturer. The amplified loudspeaker system shall be
a model ART200A manufactured by Mackie Industrial.
