User manual MACKIE PA152 DATASHEET

[. . . ] Vision Series The PA152 is an extremely versatile, medium-throw, two-way loudspeaker system offering wide bandwidth, low profile, substantial power and value for a variety of professional applications that include primary sound reinforcement and supplementary fill for large speaker systems. The low-frequency transducer is a 15" woofer with an efficient 4" voice coil that can provide excellent lowfrequency response along with high power handling. The high-frequency section combines a modified constant directivity horn with a 2" exit coupled to a titanium compression driver with a 3" coil.

The low-frequency transducer shall be a cone type loudspeaker having a cone diameter of at least 15 inches (380 mm). Sensitivity shall be at least 97 dB when measured at 1 m with an input of 1 Watt and have a power rating of at least 350 Watts (AES), 1400 Watts peak. The high frequency section shall have a compression driver with a titanium diaphragm of at least 3 inches (76 mm) in diameter. It shall be connected to a constant-directivity horn having a throat diameter of at least 2 inch (51 mm) and a nominal coverage pattern of 85° horizontal by 65° vertical. Sensitivity shall be at least 107 dB when measured at 1 m with an input of 1 Watt and the power rating shall be at least 75 Watts (AES), 300 Watts peak. The system shall be crossed over by an internal, highlevel, passive network having a response of 12 dB/octave. The low-pass section of the network shall have minimum inductance in series with the low-frequency driver. The high-pass section of the network shall be equalized to optimize the performance of the constant-directivity horn. A dynamic high-frequency protection circuit based on a low-value, lowmass filament resistor shall limit the current available to the compression driver. A connection option shall be provided to disconnect the crossover network, but not the high-frequency protection circuit, from the drivers to allow bi-amp operation.
