ART400A Two-Way Active Speaker System

Architects’ & Engineers’ Specifications

ART400A

The amplified loudspeaker system shall be a self-contained unit, housed in a reinforced polypro- pylene enclosure and consisting of the following sub-systems: (1) vented two-way loudspeaker system, (2) integrated power amplifiers and cross- over network, (3) integrated mic/line input with music and voice equalizers.

The loudspeakers shall consist of a 15 inch low-frequency, cone driver with at least a 3 inch voice coil and a 80° x 60° high-frequency, constant- directivity polynomial horn and horn-loaded, 2 inch compression driver. The drivers shall be aligned with an analog circuit and crossed over at 1.8kHz by a 4-pole network built into the power amplifiers. Together they shall be capable of producing 125dB SPL (1m, anechoic).

Two discrete amplifiers shall be provided, capable of continuously delivering 300W RMS to the low-fre- quency driver and 50W RMS to the high-frequency driver. Distortion shall be less than 0.1% when mea- sured at 1kHz and 10kHz. They shall be equipped with a multi-function protection circuit to peak limit and protect the loudspeakers from overheating and over- excursion, overloads, short circuits and extreme oper- ating temperatures. An indicator light shall illuminate when any aspect of the protection circuit engages.

The integrated mic/line input shall be actively balanced, may accept an unbalanced input, and shall be paralleled to an output. Both shall have XLR connectors. The input shall have a switch to select between 10mV mic and 775mV line levels. The unit shall be provided with both voice and music optimi- zation equalization that can be activated with but- tons on the rear panel. The voice equalizer shall pro- vide +4dB at 3kHz and +4db at 6kHz. The music equalizer shall provide +4.3dB at 65Hz and +4dB at 12kHz. A continuously variable, rotary master volume control shall be provided.

The power supply shall be internal and con- nected to 50 or 60Hz source current through a detachable IEC power cord and shall have an IEC socket for mains power loop-through. It shall have an on/off switch, fuse holder and threaded ground- ing screw on the rear panel. AC voltage shall be selectable between 115 and 230VAC. The power supply shall draw a maximum of 5A and illuminate an indicator light when on.

The reinforced polypropylene enclosure shall have a volume of at least 2.64 cu. ft., be trapezoidal shaped and equipped with a grille to protect the cone driver. At least four M10 and two M8 threaded sockets and stand socket shall be molded into the cabinet for attaching mounting hardware, designed for the unit and available from the manufacturer. The amplified loudspeaker system shall be a model ART400A manufactured by Mackie Industrial.

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.
