Power amps aren't at the top of most people's exciting lists. After all, what's exciting about big, heavy pieces of rackmount gear tucked into a corner or under a stage? Well, what if an amp made your loudspeakers sound 10 times better the moment you plugged in? And what if this amp was designed to squeeze every drop of power from conventional wall outlets? And what if there was a group of quirky, eccentric and mostly bearded analog engineers in Woodinville, WA whose eyes glow wildly at the mere mention of these new amps? Introducing the new M-Series High-Efficiency Stereo Power Amplifiers: the next generation of Mackie muscle.The M-3000 (3000W) represents the pinnacle of Class-H power amp engineering, from a design team with a collective 38 years of amplifier experience. We named the M-Series High-Efficiency Amplifiers� for their ability to squeeze every drop of power out of standard 120/240v power outlets, delivering more watts to your loudspeakers than anything even close to their price. And not only do the M-Series deliver major watts, but they sound incredible, thanks to Class-H power stages, new built-in limiters, a sparing use of negative feedback, and perfect crossover integration with Mackie's Precision Passive loudspeakers.The final major M-Series advantage is their next-generation Fast Recovery and Adaptive Slew circuitry, a Mackie hallmark which lets them run in the red� for hours on end without compromising sound integrity. * High Efficiency Class-H Stereo Power Amplifiers deliver more clean power and less destructive heat from a standard 120/240V power outlet * Adaptive Slewing Technology for incredibly fast transient response with minimal distortion * Fast Recovery circuitry reduces distortion at the edge of clipping and beyond * Switchable 150Hz LPF/HPF for instant 2-way loudspeaker systems * Extensive Protection Circuits for power supply over-temperature protection, low voltage / brownout protection, and fusible resistors throughout * Low feedback / Low distortion design with triple Darlington output stages * True 2-Ohm power drive capability means the M-series can sustain real-world 2-Ohm loads |
