F AST REC O VERY SERIES HIGH CURRENT POWER AMPLIFIER
The world is full of amplifiers that do one thing –
amplify audio signals. But at Mackie Designs, we’ve
always put out the extra effort to provide more quality and more features than our competitors while
maintaining a comparable (or lower) price.
The FR Series™ power amplifiers are designed to
perform reliably under the most adverse conditions,
and we’ve added a bundle of extra features, so you
don’t have to put out the extra bucks to buy a
bunch of add-ons or plug-ins to make your sound
system do what you want it to do.

FEATURES
■ Fast Recovery design
for improved tran-
sient response and
recovery from clip-
ping
■ Rack-mountable (2U)
with rear support
rails for extra support
■ Separate left and
right detented gain
controls, calibrated in
both dB and volts
■ Balanced XLR and
1/4" TRS input jacks
■ Balanced XLR thru
jacks
■ Heavy-duty binding
post output jacks in
parallel with 1/4" T S
output jacks
■ 6 LED metering
including Signal
Present and Overload
■ Four levels of protec-
tion circuitry
1) Automatic turn-on
delay to prevent
thumps and pops
from reaching your
speakers
2) Short-circuit
protection with
separate L/R indicating LEDs
3) Thermal protection
with combined CH1
and CH2 Cold and Hot
indicating LEDs
4) SCR Crowbar DC
offset protection
■ Low-cut filter with
variable frequency
control (Off – 170Hz)
■ Infrasonic1 stabiliza-
tion eliminates ultralow-frequency noise
caused by microphone handling,
stage rumble
■ Constant directivity
horn compensation
with variable highfrequency boost
control (2kHz to
6kHz)
■ Amp Mode switch for
Stereo, Mono, or
Bridge modes
■ Limiter to eliminate
clipping in both
channels
1
a.k.a. Subsonic.
