ADVANCED IMPULSE™ DSP MODULE

What does it do for me?

Mackie’s filtering technology is not your typical speaker processing. The goal of our Advanced Impulse™ DSP is to remove all the anomalies that loudspeakers and horns contribute to a signal, from “honkiness” or “squelch” to "mushy" low end, effectively making the drivers "invisible" and output nothing but perfect, clean sound. By more intelligently (and more thoroughly) employing the benefits of FIR filtering, Advanced Impulse DSP eliminates undesired acoustic anomalies across the entire dispersion zone (horizontal and vertical), as well as frequency range and time domain.Mackie Advanced Impulse DSP

HOW IT'S DONE

The main way this is accomplished is by measuring the negative frequency response and time domain impacts that each transducer and horn in the system introduces – on axis as well as off – and reversing/correcting for those anomalies before the signal hits the speaker. The result is the output from the speaker is fully corrected for flat, clear, time-aligned, and smooth sound throughout the entire time, space, and response domains.

TRANSPARENT SYSTEM PROTECTION

Other loudspeakers feature some sort of protection and limiting to help them squeeze a dB or two out of the speaker. This is almost always at the expense of sound quality and is commonly experienced as diminished bass response and the "pumping" sound of the internal limiter having a bad day.

When operating at very high levels (ears beware), the processor-controlled system monitoring analyzes the audio signal and identifies the problem areas, then dynamically applies multi-band compression to those specific frequencies rather than lowering the overall output. This keeps your levels where you want them and maintains the sound quality you expect.

A True Workhorse for Gigging Professionals

• 1600W Class-D amplifier is designed for ultra-reliable, consistent performance
• Custom high-efficiency transducer ensures maximum punch
• Increases efficiency of your full-range loudspeakers by taking care of the low end for the entire system
• Built-Like-A-Tank™ to conquer every gig while lightweight for easy loading
• Frequency response: 33Hz - 200Hz
• Max SPL: 133 dB

Custom Voicing Presets

• Flat – Natural balance between deep bass and overall output
• Deep – Emphasizes ultra-low frequencies. Great for dance, rap, and electronic music
• Punch – Prioritizes highest possible output level. Great for bands and rock music

Optimize for Your System

• Variable crossover frequency
• Polarity invert switch
• Defeatable front LED
• Stereo or mono-summing for single or dual subwoofer deployment
• Variable level control (-6dBU to +6dBU)

Transparent System Limiting and Protection

• Dedicated processing module monitors and protects the amplifier in real time
• Sound quality and tonal balance is maintained even under heavy limiting
• Input limiting keeps your source signal in check so if you’re sending audio that’s a bit too hot, the speaker will cool it down
• Universal Power Supply (100-240VAC) with Power Factor Correction for stable operation even with unstable AC power

Versatile I/O

• Stereo XLR inputs
• Stereo full-range XLR outputs
• Stereo high-pass XLR outputs

Versatile configuration options

• Integrated M20 threaded pole cup
• Weight: 74.5 lb / 33.8 kg
• Dimensions: 23.3 x 23.0 x 27.0 in / 592 x 584 x 686 mm
