ART300 Two-Way Speaker System

Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications

The loudspeaker shall be a self-contained unit, housed in a vented, reinforced polypropylene enclosure and consisting of: (1) a 12 inch low-frequency, cone driver, (2) a 80° x 75°, high-frequency, constant-directivity polynomial horn and horn-loaded, 1 inch compression driver, (3) passive crossover network.

The drivers shall be crossed over at 1.8kHz by a 2-pole, passive network that contains equalization for the constant directivity horn and shall present a nominal 8load to the power amplifier. When measured (500Hz–16kHz) the direc- tivity factor shall be at least 10.0. The loudspeaker shall be capable of operating continuously with a pink noise signal delivered at 300W RMS. It shall produce at least 101dB SPL (300Hz–3kHz) at 1m with an input of 1W RMS. Its peak power handling capability shall not be less than 1200W peak, producing 132dB SPL (1m, anechoic). The nominal fre- quency response of the system shall be 195Hz–17kHz ±3dB.

The reinforced polypropylene enclosure shall have a volume of at least 1.65 cu. ft., be trapezoidal shaped and equipped with a grille to protect the cone driver. Two Neutrik Speakon® connectors shall be provided for input and input loop-through. At least four M10 threaded sockets and a stand socket shall be molded into the cabinet for attaching mounting hardware, designed for the unit and available from the manufacturer. The loudspeaker system shall be a model ART300 manufactured by Mackie Industrial.

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. Whether for professional use or personal enjoyment, the ART300 delivers a powerful and reliable solution for all audio needs.
