ART300
Two-Way Speaker System
Art Series
I The same careful acoustic design and advanced
materials used in the ART active speakers have been
utilized in the ART300 passive speaker. Combining
high efficiency, high power handling and excellent
sonic performance, the ART300 provides practical
solutions for permanent installation applications.
I The two-way design consists of a 12" woofer that
uses a massive magnet structure for accurate bass
reproduction and a CD horn loaded to a 1" exit
compression driver. The CD horn is a part of the
molded enclosure.
I The system includes a high-level crossover
network that features oversized inductors in series
with the woofer. The benefit is improved current
handling, reduced phase shift and superior transient
response. Dynamic high-frequency driver protection
is accomplished with a fast-response filament resistor,
chosen to compliment the power curve of the driver.
I All components are housed in a lightweight,
vented enclosure formed from polypropylene that is
extremely rigid. The woofer is protected by a metal
grille. All controls and connectors are recessed on the
rear. A 1-3/8" stand socket and M10 threaded inserts
are molded into the cabinet to provide quick and easy
installation using specially designed accessory
mounting hardware.

ART300 Two-Way Speaker System
Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications
The loudspeaker shall be a self-contained unit, housed in
a vented, reinforced polypropylene enclosure and consisting
of: (1) a 12 inch low-frequency, cone driver, (2) a 80° x 75°,
high-frequency, constant-directivity polynomial horn and
horn-loaded, 1 inch compression driver, (3) passive crossover
network.
The drivers shall be crossed over at 1.8kHz by a 2-pole,
passive network that contains equalization for the constant
directivity horn and shall present a nominal 8Ω load to the
power amplifier. When measured (500Hz–16kHz) the direc-
tivity factor shall be at least 10.0. The loudspeaker shall be
capable of operating continuously with a pink noise signal
delivered at 300W RMS. It shall produce at least 101dB SPL
(300Hz–3kHz) at 1m with an input of 1W RMS. Its peak
power handling capability shall not be less than 1200W
peak, producing 132dB SPL (1m, anechoic). The nominal fre-
quency response of the system shall be 195Hz–17kHz 3dB.
The reinforced polypropylene enclosure shall have a
volume of at least 1.65 cu. ft., be trapezoidal shaped and
equipped with a grille to protect the cone driver. Two Neutrik
Speakon® connectors shall be provided for input and input
loop-through. At least four M10 threaded sockets and a
stand socket shall be molded into the cabinet for attaching
mounting hardware, designed for the unit and available from
the manufacturer. The loudspeaker system shall be a model
ART300 manufactured by Mackie Industrial.

Mackie Designs continually engages in research related to product improvement. New material, produc-
tion methods, and design refinements are introduced into existing products without notice as a routine
expression of that philosophy. For this reason, any current Mackie Industrial product may differ in some
respect from its published description, but will always equal or exceed the original design specifications
