User manual MACKIE PA151 DATASHEET

[. . . ] Vision Series I The PA151 is an extremely versatile, wide-dispersion, two-way loudspeaker system offering substantial power and value for a variety of professional applications that include primary sound reinforcement and supplementary fill for large speaker systems. I The low-frequency transducer is a 15" woofer with a sturdy 3" voice coil that can provide excellent low-frequency response along with high power handling. The high-frequency section combines a modified constant directivity horn having a 1" exit and coupled to a compression driver with a 1. 75" diaphragm assembly.

The low-frequency transducer shall be a cone type loudspeaker having a cone diameter of at least 15 inches (380mm). Sensitivity shall be at least 99dB when measured at 1m with an input of 1 Watt and have a power rating of at least 250 Watts (AES), 1000 Watts peak. The high-frequency section shall have a compression driver with a diaphragm of at least 1. 75 inches (44mm) in diameter. It shall be connected to a constant-directivity horn having a throat diameter of at least 1 inch (25mm) and a nominal coverage pattern of 90° horizontal by 70° vertical. Sensitivity shall be at least 107dB when measured at 1m with an input of 1 Watt and have a power rating of at least 35 Watts (AES), 140 Watts peak. The system shall be crossed over by an internal, highlevel, passive network having a response of 12dB/octave. The lowpass section of the network shall have minimum inductance in series with the low-frequency driver. The high-pass section of the network shall be equalized to optimize the performance of the constant-directivity horn. A dynamic high-frequency protection circuit based on a low-value, low-mass filament resistor shall limit the current available to the compression driver.
