FUSSION 3000
Fussion Series 3-Way Active Speaker System
■ Mackie’s FUSSION 3000 is a high-output, 3-way, medium-
throw, active speaker system. It features high-precision transducers combined with application-specifi c amplifi er technology that allows this integrated system to generate high output
levels with very low distortion characteristics.
■ FUSSION 3000 transducers include a special, low induc-
tance, double voice-coil 8-inch, horn-loaded (80˚ x 70˚ )
midrange transducer designed to deliver the lowest possible
distortion even at full power. It operates between 500Hz and
2,500Hz, eliminating the placement of a crossover point in the
middle of critical voice frequencies. The result is super-smooth
phase and power response that delivers extraordinary intelligibility at high output levels.
■ A 3-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver, mounted
to an 80˚ x 70˚ horn with a 1.4-inch exit throat, reproduces frequencies above 2,500Hz. Mackie Designs has implemented a
unique “Vacuum Tube” philosophy for amplifi ers designed for
mid and high-frequency reproduction. The FUSSION 3000 features two Trans-Fet amplifi ers, one for the midrange driver and
a modifi ed version for the high-frequency compression driver.
Our Trans-Fet technology combines a very simple Class AB
design topology with special transformers fi tted on the amplifi er outputs, that assists in eliminating intermodulation distortion by-products. This type of design emulates the celebrated
warmth and transparency of vacuum tube amps. The result is
clear, and accurate reproduction.
■ The FUSSION 3000 delivers deep, quick bass through the
use of four 12-inch high output woofers. Each 12-inch woofer
handles 350 watts RMS long term. Placing four devices within
the cabinet allows the FUSSION 3000 to produce very deep,
precise reproduction of low frequencies. Using four 12-inch
woofers allows low frequency reproduction to be extremely
“quick” compared to other designs. The low frequency amplifi er module is an excellent example of the effi ciency of active
designs. This amplifi er uses a high-effi ciency, high-current
topology to produce 1500 watts of power from a module the
size of a single sheet of paper.
■ Frequency response of the FUSSION 3000 is linear between
55Hz and 18KHz. The system processor provides complete system management of all electronic and acoustic functions including electronic active crossover, electronic phase alignment,
electronic time correction, electronic equalization and complete
amplifi er and component protection. Because it is designed to
