INTRODUCTION

The Crossover

This unique Low Impedance Compensated 

Crossover (LICC) design places inductors in se-

ries 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 incor-

porates dynamic protection for the compression 

driver from non-linear signals.

The Cabinet

The C00z cabinet was designed to be the 

strongest molded composite cabinet on the planet. 

This material is as strong as a rhinoceros horn, 

and rigid enough to prevent unwanted vibrations 

and standing waves in the cabinet. 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 asym-

metrical trapezoidal design of the cabinet also 

makes it easy to use as a floor wedge for stage 

monitor applications.

The C00z offers a portable, lightweight 

solution for a variety of high-powered sound rein-

forcement applications.

Thank you for choosing Mackie sound rein-

forcement loudspeakers. 

The C00z is a portable two-way loudspeaker 

system, specifically designed to complement our 

PPM Series line of professional powered mix-

ers. They are capable of extremely high sound 

pressure levels, and designed to give you the best 

performance of any loudspeaker in its class and 

price range.

The Transducers

The C00z features a 12-inch high-power 

low-frequency woofer and a 1.75-inch titanium 

diaphragm high-output compression driver. The 

woofer incorporates technology used in large-

format touring systems and, with a massive, 

precision -inch voice coil, is virtually inde-

structible.

The high-frequency compression driver is 

mounted on a multi-cell aperture loaded on a 

constant directivity horn, providing an ultra-

wide, controlled dispersion pattern and precise 

reproduction of the critical upper mid-range and 

high-frequencies. The result is an unbelievably 

smooth off-axis response that allows everyone in 

the audience to experience the same high-reso-

lution audio no matter where they are seated.

Each driver has been specifically designed by 

our engineers for optimum performance in a light-

weight high-strength cabinet.

Please write your serial number here for 

future reference (i.e. insurance claims, 

tech support, return authorization, etc.):
