ART500

Passive Speaker System

Quick-Start Guide

The ART500 is a full-range two-way professional passive speaker system that combines high power, wide bandwidth, and the reduced weight of a special hybrid construction for fixed-installation systems. The 15" low-frequency transducer, in combination with a 2" titanium compression driver coupled to an integral 80º x 60º constant directivity polynomial horn, form an extremely powerful package for any small to medium-sized sound reinforcement application.

It features dual Neutrik Speakon® input

and output connectors for cascading multiple speakers. The passive crossover is designed to reduce heat dissipation and optimize the power response of the loudspeaker.

The enclosure is constructed of high- strength polypropylene and multilayer wood, with M10 threaded inserts on all four sides for rigging, and an integral locking 1-3/8" socket in the bottom for mounting on a standard speaker stand.

Safety First!

Before connecting and using the equipment, please read this Quick-Start Guide carefully and keep it for future reference.

WARNING! This equipment has been designed to be installed by qualified professionals only! There are many factors to be considered when installing professional sound reinforcement systems, including mechanical and electrical considerations, as well as acoustic coverage and performance. Mackie Industrial strongly recommends that this equipment be installed only by a professional sound installer or contractor.
