MSW4

MONITOR Series

MONITOR Series

The Monitor MSW4 Subwoofer was expressly
designed to complement a pair of Monitor Series
MR3STK, MR4 or MR5 compact full-range speaker
systems. Two internal high-level, passive crossover
networks deliver low-frequency information, below
170Hz, to the system’s integral pair of 10 inch,
high-efciency woofers. Frequencies above 170Hz
are passed through to the MSW4 output terminals
for connection to satellite loudspeakers.

Extremely efcient for its size, it will handle
120W per channel continuous power, producing
115dB SPL (1m) with both channels driven.

Its compact size allows placement under desks
and tables and other out of the way locations in the
room. When paired with shielded MR3ST or MR5S
satellites, the MSW4 can complete an ideal loud­speaker system for sophisticated video applications.

The rectangular cabinet utilizes a reex cong­uration to maximize the subwoofer's performance
while keeping its size to a minimum. It is con­structed with extremely rigid, high-density particle
board instead of plywood to reduce cabinet res­onance and coated with scratch resistant, matte
black or white (MSW4W) PVC.

The MSW4 is a part of Mackie Industrial’s Moni­tor Series.

Architects' & Engineers' Specications

The stereo subwoofer loudspeaker system shall be
self-contained and consist of the following compo­nents: (1) two low-frequency drivers; (2) a stereo two­way crossover network; (4) a vented enclosure.

The low-frequency transducers shall be cone type
loudspeakers having diameters of at least 10 inches
(250mm).The cones shall be tted with high compli­ance foam surrounds and treated to resist moisture.
They shall have voice coils that are at least 4 inches in
diameter and present nominal impedance loads of 4Ω
each to the crossover networks.

The system shall be crossed over by two internal,
high-level, passive networks having responses of
6dB/octave. The nominal crossover frequencies shall
be 170Hz. The crossover networks shall present at the
connectors, two high-pass outputs at 170Hz for the pur­pose of connecting full range satellite loudspeakers.

The enclosure shall be a vented design. It shall
be constructed using high density particle board
and nished with black or white (MSW4W), scratch
resistant PVC. It shall be rectangular in shape. The
overall dimensions of the enclosure shall not exceed
(HxWxD) 18.91" x 13.19" x 14.18" (480mm x 335mm
x 360mm). The total weight of the loudspeaker shall
not exceed 37.4 lbs. (16.96kg). Connections to the
loudspeaker, in and out, shall be eight color-coded,
spring-loaded push connectors.

The loudspeaker system shall have an overall
frequency response of at least 38Hz–200Hz when
measured to –10dB and at least 48Hz–160Hz when
measured to –3dB. Calculated 1W/1m sensitivity
shall be at least 85dB when measured in the far eld
between 50Hz and 150Hz. Maximum SPL shall be at
least 115dB at 1m. The loudspeaker shall be rated
for continuous operation at 2 x 120W IEC with 480W
peaks, per channel.

The dual subwoofer loudspeaker system shall be a
model MSW4 (MSW4W-white) manufactured by Mackie
Industrial.
