Mackie FUSSION 3000 Specfications

Fussion Series
Mackie's FUSSION 3000 is a high-output, 3-way, medi-
um-throw, active speaker system. It features high-preci-
sion transducers combined with application-specific
amplifier technology that allows this integrated system to
generate high output levels with very low distortion char-
acteristics.
FUSSION 3000 transducers include a special, low
inductance, double voice-coil 8-inch, horn-loaded (80˚ x
70˚ ) midrange transducer designed to deliver the lowest
possible distortion even at full power. It operates between
500Hz and 2,500Hz, eliminating the placement of a
crossover point in the middle of critical voice frequencies.
The result is super-smooth phase and power response that
delivers extraordinary intelligibility at high output levels.
A 3-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver,
mounted to an 80˚ x 70˚ horn with a 1.4-inch exit throat,
reproduces frequencies above 2,500Hz.
Mackie Designs has implemented a unique "Vacuum
Tube" philosophy for amplifiers designed for mid and
high-frequency reproduction. The FUSSION 3000 features
two Trans-Fet amplifiers, one for the midrange driver and a
modified version for the high-frequency compression driv-
er. Our Trans-Fet technology combines a very simple Class
AB design topology with special transformers fitted on the
amplifier outputs, that assists in eliminating intermodula-
tion distortion by-products. This type of design emulates
the celebrated warmth and transparency of vacuum tube
amps. The result is clear, and accurate reproduction.
The FUSSION 3000 delivers deep, quick bass through
the use of four 12-inch high output woofers. Each 12-inch
woofer handles 350 watts RMS long term. Placing four
devices within the cabinet allows the FUSSION 3000 to
produce very deep, precise reproduction of low frequen-
cies. Using four 12-inch woofers allows low frequency
reproduction to be extremely "quick" compared to other
designs. The low frequency amplifier module is an excel-
lent example of the efficiency of active designs. This ampli-
fier uses a high-efficiency, high-current topology to pro-
duce 1500 watts of power from a module the size of a sin-
gle sheet of paper.
Frequency response of the FUSSION 3000 is linear
between 55Hz and 18KHz. The system processor provides
complete system management of all electronic and
acoustic functions including electronic active crossover,
electronic phase alignment, electronic time correction,
