INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing Mackie's active sound reinforce-

ment loudspeaker systems.

The SR1522z is a high-efficiency, high output, horn-

loaded, 2-way, wide-dispersion, active sound reinforce-

ment system. The SR1522z benefits from the integration

of 400 watts of amplifier power, complete active control

electronics, and precision transducer components.

These elements together form a speaker system with

unprecedented output, resolution, and clarity.

The 1.75-inch neodymium high-frequency compres-

sion driver features a low-distortion optimized symmet-

ric phase plug.

The low frequencies are produced by two high-output

15-inch woofers featuring high-temperature voice coils.

Connecting and setting up the SR1522z is a breeze. It

accepts a line-level signal via a female XLR input jack.

A male XLR Thru jack is provided for daisy-chaining the

signal to additional SR1522z cabinets.

Two built-in power amplifiers provide 100 watts rms

for the high-frequency driver and 400 watts rms for the

low-frequency driver. The amplifier modules sit on a

mammoth aluminum heatsink that eliminates the need
