INTRODUCTION
The.Crossover
This unique Low Impedance Compensat-
ed Crossover (LICC) design places inductors
in series with the woofer whose values are
markedly lower than conventional designs.
This reduces the amount of energy that is
typically wasted as heat and increases the
amount of energy that is transformed into
real acoustic power. It also incorporates dy-
namic protection for the compression driver
from non-linear signals.
The.Cabinet
The C00 cabinet was designed to be the
strongest molded composite cabinet on the
planet. This material is as strong as con-
crete, and rigid enough to prevent unwanted
vibrations and standing waves in the cabi-
net. It has built-in fly points for hanging,
and a socket in the bottom for mounting on
a tripod stand. Although it is an exceptional
choice for installed sound situations, its
light weight and durable finish also make
it ideal for portable sound system use. The
asymmetrical trapezoidal design of the
cabinet also makes it easy to use as a floor
wedge for stage monitor applications.
The C00 offers a portable, lightweight
solution for a variety of high-powered
sound reinforcement applications.
Thank you for choosing the Mackie C00
sound reinforcement loudspeakers.
The C00 is a portable two-way loud-
speaker system, specifically designed to
complement our PPM Series line of profes-
sional powered mixers. They are capable of
extremely high sound pressure levels, and
designed to give you the best performance
of any portable compact loudspeaker in its
class and price range.
The.Transducers
The C00 features a 10-inch high-power
low-frequency woofer and a 1.4-inch tita-
nium diaphragm high-output compression
driver. The woofer incorporates technology
used in large-format touring systems and,
with a precision -inch voice coil, is virtu-
ally indestructible.
The high-frequency compression driver
is mounted on an acoustically non-resonant
exponential waveguide, providing a wide,
controlled dispersion pattern and precise
reproduction of the critical upper mid-range
and high-frequencies. The result is an unbe-
lievably smooth off-axis response that allows
everyone in the audience to experience
the same high-resolution audio no matter
where they are seated.
Each driver has been specifically de-
signed by our engineers for optimum
performance in a lightweight high-strength
cabinet.
