ART500
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 efciency, 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
high-frequency 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.
The system includes a high-level crossover
network that features oversized inductors in series
with the woofer, yielding improved current handling,
reduced phase shift and superior transient response.
Dynamic high-frequency driver protection is accomplished with a fast-response lament resistor,
chosen to compliment the power curve of the driver.
All components are housed in a light weight,
vented enclosure formed from polypropylene that
is extremely rigid and is weather resistant. In addition, 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
and 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 ve year, limited warranty.
