ART300 specifications

The Mackie ART300 is a versatile and powerful active loudspeaker designed for various applications, from live sound events to installed sound systems. Renowned for its exceptional performance and reliability, the ART300 series is a favorite among audio professionals and enthusiasts alike.

One of the main features of the Mackie ART300 is its advanced amplifier technology. The speaker is equipped with a Class D amplifier, capable of delivering an impressive output power of up to 300 watts peak. This ensures that the ART300 can fill any venue with rich, clear sound, whether used in small clubs or larger auditoriums. The built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processing) further enhances the audio quality by providing precise control over EQ settings, crossover points, and limiting functions, resulting in a balanced and consistent sound reproduction.

The design of the ART300 is functional yet sleek. The cabinet is constructed from high-quality MDF, ensuring durability while minimizing unwanted resonance. Its lightweight design makes it easy to transport, with handles conveniently placed for ease of movement. The speaker features an 8-inch high-efficiency woofer and a 1-inch titanium dome compression driver, allowing for a broad frequency response. The woofer ensures deep and powerful bass, while the compression driver delivers clear highs, creating a well-rounded audio experience.

Portability and versatility are key characteristics of the Mackie ART300. It can be used as a standalone speaker or mounted on a pole for optimal sound projection. Additionally, it offers multiple input options, including XLR, TRS, and RCA, enabling users to connect a variety of audio sources such as mixers, microphones, and instruments. The rear panel also includes controls for volume adjustment and EQ settings, allowing for tailor-made sound adjustments based on the venue and audience preferences.

Furthermore, the ART300 is designed with safety in mind. The speaker features a built-in thermal limiter to protect the amplifier and drivers from damage during extended use or heavy loads. This feature ensures that you can rely on the ART300 even in demanding performance situations.

In conclusion, the Mackie ART300 stands out as a top-tier active loudspeaker that combines robust construction, cutting-edge technology, and exceptional audio performance.
