Lend Me Your Ears

Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause per-

manent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-

induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing these levels (such as the M•2600) use hearing protectors while this unit is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals

noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in this chart.

At Mackie, we know what it takes to be roadworthy. After all, our mixers have traveled all over the world under the worst of conditions, and we’ve applied what we’ve learned to the mechanical design of our amplifiers.

Reliability is paramount to sound reinforcement. That’s why we use double-sided thru-hole- plated fiberglass printed circuit boards. That’s why our engineers have subjected the amplifier to the most rigorous and fiendish tests imaginable to fine-tune the design and extend its limits beyond those of ordinary amplifiers.

Part No. 0003364 Rev. A 05/02

©2002 Mackie Designs Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Our Fast Recovery (FR) amplifiers perform better than conventional designs when presented with adverse conditions such as clipping. Conventional designs use lots of negative feedback to provide stability and lower distortion. When clipping occurs, this “feedback” causes highfrequency sticking, keeping the amplifier “latched” in the clipping state longer than necessary. This results in painfully audible distortion. The Fast Recovery design eliminates this high-frequency sticking and allows the amplifier to remain stable when powering highly reactive loads at high volume levels.

Carefully read and follow all the safety instructions explained on page 2 and throughout the manual. The Quick Start guide on page 4 gives an overview of the amplifier, and the rest of the manual explains the wealth of features and operating instructions in loving detail.

Please write your serial number here for future reference (i.e., insurance claims, tech support, return authorization, etc.):

INSTALLATION

The M•2600 amplifier

must only be installed in a

rack. See page 29 for spe-

cial details regarding rack

mounting and thermal considerations.

DO NOT BLOCK THE VENTILATION PORTS The M•2600 draws its ventilation air in from the front and out through the side panels. It needs plenty of fresh air to stay cool.

CONNECTIONS AND SETTINGS

1. The output terminals are capable of high voltage output, so for your safety, the POWERswitch must be off before making any connections.

2.Turn the GAIN controls fully down (counterclockwise) for now.

3.Set both LOW CUT FILTERcontrols to their TYPICAL marks (35Hz).

4.Set the LIMITER switch on.

Note: If you’re using the M•2600 to power a subwoofer, you probably do not need an external crossover. Please see page 28 for details.

5.Determine which AMP MODE is best for your application:

STEREO mode (separate left and right inputs, separate left and right outputs) is the typical setup for amplifying stereo signals.

MONO mode (sometimes called DualMono mode — one or two inputs, two mono outputs) is for sending a mono signal to two different speaker sets, with separatelyadjustable level controls.

BRIDGED mode (sometimes called Bridged-Mono — one or two inputs, one mono output) uses both sides of the amp to triple the power going to one speaker. An

M•2600 in BRIDGED mode, delivers 2600 watts (into 4 ohms). Garsh!

Note: In BRIDGED mode, 4 ohms is the minimum speaker impedance you should connect to the amplifier. If you connect a lower impedance load, the amplifier may go into PROTECT mode and the SHORTLEDs will turn on. Then the audience will turn on you.

6.In STEREO mode, connect line-level cables

from your signal source to the M•2600’s INPUT jacks, either XLR or TRS:

The XLR and TRS inputs for each channel are wired in parallel.

The balanced XLR inputs are wired

pin 2 = hot (+), pin 3 = cold (–), and pin 1 = shield (ground).

• The 1/4" TRS inputs are wired tip = hot (+), ring = cold (–), and

sleeve = shield (ground), and can accept either balanced (TRS) or unbalanced (TS) cables.

7.In BRIDGED mode, connect an input cable to CHANNEL 1’s INPUT or CHANNEL 2. If you want to use both inputs, the two input signals are summed internally to produce a mono signal.

8.In STEREO and MONO modes, connect

speaker cables to the SPEAKER OUTPUTS , using either the binding post or Speakon® connectors.

The binding post connectors are wired red = hot (+) and black = cold (–).

See page 35 for Speakon wiring details.

9.In BRIDGED mode, connect the speaker cable like this: the positive (+) wire goes in the CHANNEL 1 SPEAKER OUTPUT’s red post and the negative (–) wire goes in CHANNEL 2’s red post. Plug nothing into the black posts. There is also a single Speakon connector for BRIDGED mode (see page 35).

10.Connect the other ends of the speaker cables to your loudspeakers.

11.Plug the amp’s power cord into a 3-prong AC outlet properly configured for the type of plug supplied with your amplifier, and capable of delivering at least 20 amps (for the 120V model). See page 29.

12.Make sure your signal source (feeding the M•2600’s inputs) is powered up and delivering signal to the amp.

13.Turn the M•2600’s POWER switch on and verify that the SIGLEDs are showing an input signal is present.

14.Slowly turn both GAIN controls up: You should hear the music and see the SIG

and meterLEDs flashing.

If the topmost LEDs (named OL, for overload) are flashing, turn down either the GAIN controls on the amp or the source signal’s output level controls (i.e., master faders). The point is: The OL LEDs should not light up.

15.For quieter listening, it is preferable to adjust the amp’s GAIN controls rather than the source signal’s output level (unless you have the source’s control all the way up!).

16.Start dancing, but don’t let the ants out of your pants.

Things You Must Remember:

• Never plug amplifier

outputs into anything

except speakers (unless

you have an outboard box specifically designed to handle high-power speaker-level signals).

Before making connections to an amp or reconfiguring an amp’s routing, turn the amp’s level (GAIN) controls down, turn the power off, make the changes, turn the power back on, and then turn the level controls back up.

If you shut down your equipment, turn off the amplifiers first. When powering up, turn on the amplifiers last.

Save the shipping boxes! You may need them someday, and you probably don’t want to have to pay for them again.

APPLICATION DIAGRAMS

The following pages show some of the more common uses for the M•2600, including stereo, mono, and bridged operation.

USING THE LOW CUT FILTER

The application diagrams include some small graphs of the frequency range going into and coming out of the amplifier. These graphs show the effect of the LOW CUT FILTER to roll off the lower frequencies going to the speakers.

Low Cut Filter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using the LOW CUT FILTER allows you to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tailor the output to the speakers so they receive only the frequency range they can handle. For example, if your speakers can reproduce the frequency range down to 35Hz, set the LOW CUT FILTER to 35Hz. If your main speakers can reproduce the full range, then set it to OFF.

In the hookup diagrams on pages 9–12 and page 15, this small icon is used to indicate that the lows have been rolled off by using the LOW CUT FILTER.

Note: Page 14 and 16 show the use of the internal CROSSOVER.

FULL PASS

This icon indicates that the full frequency range is passed, either to the speakers or to the THRU outputs. In the pages that follow, this also indicates a full-range signal coming from your mixer or preamp.

 

LOW PASS

 

This icon indicates that the highs have been

 

rolled off. The low-pass range is available if you

 

use the internal CROSSOVER, discussed in

 

more detail on page 13, with some application

diagrams on pages 14, 15, and 16.

M•2600: STEREO SYSTEM WITH TWO AMPLIFIERS IN BRIDGED MODE

12

USING THE CROSSOVER

The following three pages show how the internal crossover can be used to biamp your system. One amplifer plays the lower frequencies, while another plays the highs.

The electronic crossover inside the M•2600 splits the frequency band into two ranges, one below the crossover point (LOW OUT) and one above (HIGH OUT). The LOW OUT is available to the amplifier section for powering subwoofers. Both the LOW OUT and the HIGH OUT are switchable to the THRU outputs, for sending line-level signals to the inputs of other amplifiers.

IT’S FREE!

The crossover has been carefully designed to give high quality, no-compromise performance, equal to external crossovers (without the extra cost). It uses a 4th-order Linkwitz-Riley design, with a slope of 24 dB/octave.

LOW OUT

The output level rolls off above the crossover point. By setting the OUTPUT APPLICATION switch to LOW OUT (SUBWOOFER), any speakers attached to the M•2600 will play only the lower frequency range.

By setting the THRU Switch to LOW OUT, this range can be sent to another amplifier via the THRU output jacks.

HIGH OUT

The output level rolls off below the crossover point. The high range is not available to the speaker outputs; it can be sent to another amplifier via the THRU output jacks if you set the THRU switch to HIGH OUT.

The LOW CUT FILTER can be used to reduce the bass level of the speakers attached to the host amplifer.

13

Because the OUTPUT APPLICATION switch is set to LOW OUT, this M•2600 plays the frequency range below the CROSSOVER point (60, 90, or 120Hz). Set the LOW CUT FILTER to the lowest frequency your subwoofers can handle (or set it to OFF). Set the THRU switch to HIGH OUT so the next amplifier will receive the frequency range above the CROSSOVER point. Use the MONO MODE so the subwoofers play the same and are always in-phase. Low-frequency sound is non-directional, so there is no benefit in playing the subs in STEREO, in fact, there may be times when the speakers get out of phase, causing some bass reduction.

This amplifier receives the frequency range above the first amplifier's CROSSOVER point. NOTE: Set its LOW CUT FILTER below the CROSSOVER point of the first amplifier or you will miss part of the bass range.
