■
Mackie’s FUSSION 3000 is a high-output, 3-way, medium-
throw, active speaker system. It features high-precision trans-
ducers combined with application-specifi c amplifi er technol-
ogy that allows this integrated system to generate high output
levels with very low distortion characteristics.
■
FUSSION 3000 transducers include a special, low induc-
tance, double voice-coil 8-inch, horn-loaded (80˚ x 70˚ )
midrange transducer designed to deliver the lowest possible
distortion even at full power. It operates between 500Hz and
2,500Hz, eliminating the placement of a crossover point in the
middle of critical voice frequencies. The result is super-smooth
phase and power response that delivers extraordinary intel-
ligibility at high output levels.
■
A 3-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver, mounted
to an 80˚ x 70˚ horn with a 1.4-inch exit throat, reproduces fre-
quencies above 2,500Hz. Mackie Designs has implemented a
unique “Vacuum Tube” philosophy for amplifi ers designed for
mid and high-frequency reproduction. The FUSSION 3000 fea-
tures two Trans-Fet amplifi ers, one for the midrange driver and
a modifi ed version for the high-frequency compression driver.
Our Trans-Fet technology combines a very simple Class AB
design topology with special transformers fi tted on the ampli-
fi er outputs, that assists in eliminating intermodulation distor-
tion by-products. This type of design emulates the celebrated
warmth and transparency of vacuum tube amps. The result is
clear, and accurate reproduction.
■
The FUSSION 3000 delivers deep, quick bass through the
use of four 12-inch high output woofers. Each 12-inch woofer
handles 350 watts RMS long term. Placing four devices within
the cabinet allows the FUSSION 3000 to produce very deep,
precise reproduction of low frequencies. Using four 12-inch
woofers allows low frequency reproduction to be extremely
“quick” compared to other designs. The low frequency ampli-
fi er module is an excellent example of the effi ciency of active
designs. This amplifi er uses a high-effi ciency, high-current
topology to produce 1500 watts of power from a module the
size of a single sheet of paper.
■
Frequency response of the FUSSION 3000 is linear between
55Hz and 18KHz. The system processor provides complete sys-
tem management of all electronic and acoustic functions includ-
ing electronic active crossover, electronic phase alignment,
electronic time correction, electronic equalization and complete
amplifi er and component protection. Because it is designed to
