ART400A specifications

The Mackie ART400A is a powerful and versatile active loudspeaker designed to meet the needs of musicians, DJs, and event organizers. Renowned for its robust build quality and exceptional audio performance, the ART400A is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, making it a staple in live sound reinforcement setups.

One of the key features of the ART400A is its 400W Class D amplification, which delivers crisp and clear sound even at high volumes. This efficient amplification technology not only ensures minimal heat generation but also contributes to a lightweight design, making the speaker easy to transport and set up.

The ART400A is equipped with a 12-inch low-frequency driver and a 1-inch tweeter, enabling it to produce a wide frequency response. This combination results in powerful bass response and articulate high-end frequencies, making it suitable for a diverse range of music genres, from rock and pop to electronic and classical.

Another significant characteristic of the ART400A is its built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processing). This technology allows for advanced audio processing, ensuring optimal performance and sound quality across various environments. The DSP includes features such as EQ settings and protection circuitry, which help to safeguard the speaker from damage due to overload or excessive heat. Furthermore, the speaker’s acoustic design includes a multi-angle enclosure that can be used as either a floor monitor or mounted using standard speaker poles.

The cabinet of the ART400A is designed for durability and reliability, constructed from high-quality materials that can withstand the rigors of transportation and use in different venues. The front grille is made from robust steel, providing protection for the drivers while allowing for effective heat dissipation.

For connectivity, the Mackie ART400A features XLR and TRS combo inputs, making it compatible with a wide range of audio sources, including mixers, microphones, and instruments. The speaker also offers through outputs, allowing users to connect multiple speakers in a chain for larger setups.

In summary, the Mackie ART400A stands out in the active loudspeaker market for its powerful amplification, advanced DSP technology, and durable construction. With its ability to deliver high-quality sound across a variety of applications, the ART400A is an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their audio experience, whether in a live performance setting or an event space.
