This awesome sounding MackieSWA1501 subwoofer is up for sale. The cosmetic condition is good/average.Please see attached photos. The Speaker comes with power cables and a paddedspeaker cover (worth 50) which provides excellent protection for the speaker. Ifyou are also looking for a Mackie top, please see my other listing for Mackie SRM450v2. Selling asI dont have enough storage to keep them anymore. Here’s what Mackie say about theSWA1501 subwoofer
The SWA1501 is a 15-inch high output,active subwoofer system. It features a high precision 15-inch transducercombined with application specific amplifier technology. The system is composedof a single, compact subwoofer cabinet with built in control and amplifierTarget. Features:
128dB Peak Output
Extremely powerful system capable of real, professional output levels
Extended bass response from a compact enclosure allows you to enhance andextend the bass performance of any small to medium full range active or passivePA cabinet
Compact cabinet provides highest output per cubic inch possible in its class
Level control (-15dB to +5dB)
RCF Precision high efficiency 15 in. woofer with high temperatureinside/outside coil technology
Drivers are designed specifically for the SWA1501 — no “off theshelf” components
13-ply Baltic Birch enclosure finished in black splatter paint
Cast aluminum side handles
Signal present LED
Limit LED (Indicates that active protection circuitry is engaged)
The transducer used in the SWA1501 system features a 3-inch, inside/outsidewound voice coil that offers extreme power handling capabilities. The magneticassembly used features advancements in coil venting and structural cooling thatprovides lower temperature rise and substantially improved power compressioncharacteristics.
The amplifier module found in the SWA1501 cabinet is an example of applicationspecific amplifier design that can be exercised when designing active speakersystems. The system uses a proprietary high efficiency, high current amplifiermodule designed to provide high current levels at all levels of operation.Having access to high current levels, no matter what the power output, isabsolutely critical in achieving precise, total control of the woofer mass.This control is responsible for lowering audible distortion artifacts andproviding aggressive attack through the operating band pass of the system. Theamplifier module is mounted on a large, finned aluminum heat sink. Theamplifier system is rated at 500 watts RMS of continuous output and 700 wattspeak output.
The SWA1501 features a sophisticated on board control system allowing forflexible integration with active or passive full range or mid/high speakersystems. The input panel accepts line level input signal and has LOOP OUTconnectors for signal routing to other devices. It also has HIGH PASS outconnectors for connection to active full range speakers or amplifiers poweringpassive full range speakers. All signal routing is through XLR connectors inL+R stereo or mono. There is a phase selection switch and a recessed levelcontrol. The system features thermal protection for the power supply andamplifier module and also incorporates RMS limiting protection for theamplifier stage that limits the amount of long term power deliver to thetransducer.
The cabinet is constructed using 18mm thick multi-layered birch plywood andfinished in black splatter paint. There is one handle on each side forefficient loading and transport as well as a top, female pole mount fixture.
High Resolution Audio Reproduction
The SWA1501 does not behave like a typical 15 in. subwoofer manufactured by somany other companies. It has been designed using Mackie’s belief that liveaudio subwoofers should focus on the character of the “attack” thedevice has. They have also focused their energies on the design of doublehorn-loaded chambers to achieve a significant increase in output and lowerdistortion characteristics which lead to high resolution performance.
RCF Precision, the same company that provides high-tech compression drivers andwoofers for high-end touring rigs like EAW ‘s KF760, has developed a new wooferfor our use.
On-Board Active Electronics with Flexible Rear Panel Controls and I/O
A flexible input panel provides both stereo and mono signal input and outputcapabilities. There are High Pass outputs that are work above the operatingband pass of the subwoofer cabinet. The panel also features four function LEDsthat provide Power On, Limit, Signal Present and Thermal condition indication.You can also control the level and phase of the system using recessed controls.
The low frequency amplifier is a unique switch mode hybrid topology that hasbeen extremely successful as used in the SRS1500 active subwoofer. As used inthe SWA1501, it provides 500 watts of continuous output with over 700-wattpeaks. More importantly the design delivers over 90% efficiency resulting invery little power the heatsink during the demo being dissipated thermallythrough the heatsink.
Active doesn’t mean it has an amplifier bolted on the back, it means seamlessintegration of optimized electronics that provide complete control and maximumperformance. The on-board control system provides crossover filters,equalization, protection for speaker components and electronics as well as realtime active vigilance over the operating parameters of the system.
