INTRODUCTION
for fans. A tremendous benefit of having the ampli-
fiers located within the loudspeaker cabinet is that the
SR1522z functions as a system, optimizing acoustic,
electronic, and mechanical designs to achieve the high-
est level of performance and value.
The rear mounted amplifier assembly features
separate signal and AC power panels separated by the
heatsink. The signal input panel contains:
• an input XLR and loop-through XLR
• a volume level control
• Power ON indicator
• Signal Present indicator
• Limit indicator
• Thermal Protection indicator
The cabinet is constructed using both 18 mm multi-
layered plywood and pressure injected structural resin.
A carrying handle is integrated into each side for easy
loading and transport.
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
