Mackie C300z
12" Two-way Passive Loudspeaker
The Mackie C300z 2-Way Portable Passive Loudspeakers
put the superior clarity, wide dispersion, and legendary ergonomics of
the SRM Series within reach of any serious musician, DJ, or small club.
These compact-yet-loud speakers can be pole-mounted for use as a small
full-range PA system, combined with subwoofers as needed, and even employed
as high-quality passive floor monitors.
Precision Tuned
The new C Series passive Loudspeakers represent
Mackie's first lightweight passive speakers tuned exclusively by the
EAW loudspeaker engineering team. The C300z features custom 12" LF
drivers with a frequency range from 50 Hz - 3000 Hz and a 3" voice
coil that can take a pounding. And a 1.75" High-Frequency titanium
Driver and Horn providing a wide, controlled dispersion pattern and precise
reproduction of the critical 1000 Hz - 20,000 Hz upper mid-range and
high frequencies.
Crossovers Tuned to Perfection
The crossover in the
C Series is a unique Low Impedance Compensated Crossover (LICC) design
with an asymmetrical slope. With EQ and crossover points meticulously
chosen so that beamwidth patterns match in both drivers, C Series loudspeakers
offer natural sound at all volume levels.
Ultra-Wide Dispersion
Ever been to a show where
the music sounds great in front, but craps out once you get to the back
or sides of the room? The C300z a multi-cell
horn throat aperture. Sure, it's hard to say, but what it does is allow
for much wider and more even dispersion of high and mid frequencies -
so the wallflowers get the same great listening experience as those up
front.
Better Than Your Average Box
The C300z enclosure is an asymmetrical monocoque
design with no parallel surfaces, causing mid and high frequency resonance's
to be reflected at angles into internal damping materials, instead of
interfering with the woofer doing its thing.
Superb Floor Monitor
A good floor monitor plays loudly without generating
feedback through vocal microphones. A poor floor monitor, on the other
hand, will generate feedback just about the time you turn it up to a
useable level. Floor monitor feedback is often caused by uneven frequency
response and dispersion; some frequencies arrive at the microphone much
louder than others. These "spikes" are what trigger feedback
as the floor monitor volume is increased. The C300z has incredibly smooth,
spike-free response and dispersion over a wide range of treble frequencies.
So you can increase its volume without boosting those nasty, feedback-inducing
spikes. Without extensive tuning, no passive speaker or specialized floor
wedge in this class can even come close.
