General
The most professional brands on the market are using active speakers more and more often because of their high output capacity and durability.
This HD1521 has a 15-inch woofer and a 1.75-inch tweeter that can be amplified separately to keep the sound pure and with as little loss as possible before it's sent through the crossover. The amplifier that drives the 15-inch woofer can deliver a maximum output of 1400 watts that you can both hear and feel. What's more, the woofer's special construction ensures an optimal sound. Many speakers tend to have a rather clumsy output that muddles up vocals and mid-tones, as if they were being amplified thought a megaphone. Mackie have set a group of specialists the task of preventing this unwanted effect, and this woofer is the result. Never before have vocals sounded this pure!
If you thought that was all, think again! This speaker can be suspended just about anywhere thanks to the 12 M10 rigging points located in strategic places on the cabinet. Mount it in a fixed installation or use it in your mobile setup by setting it on a speaker stand. Under the bonnet, there are a variety of protections that prevent it from clipping or getting overheated. On the rear, there are a number of buttons, an equalizer and a volume control. An active speaker has never been this professional before!
