C300z: WITH A MIXER AND POWER AMPLIFIER, AND USING THE THRU JACK

The C300z can be used with a Mackie SWA1501 (or SWA1801) subwoofer to create an incredibly powerful system.

The active crossover inside the subwoofer splits the full-range stereo input signal into two ranges. The SWA1501 sums the left and right low-frequency range and plays it through its builtin ampliﬁer and 15-inch woofer. It sends the stereo high-pass range to the C300zs, via an external power ampliﬁer.

The C300z can be

pole-mounted on top of the SWA1501 or 1801 as shown.
