    Mackie C300z Compact Passive 2-Way Loudspeaker (1x12 in.)

    $480

    Designed for optimum performance with Mackie powered mixers and power amps, the C300z is a passive version of Mackie's popular SRM450 portable active loudspeaker. The C300z, an updated version of the current Mackie C300, features an injection-molded composite chassis that is rigid enough to prevent unwanted vibrations and standing waves inside the cabinet, but light enough to keep any touring musician out of traction well into their 70s. > More

    Product Description

    The C300/C300i uses the same basic transducers as the active SRM450 - with 2 differences. TheC300/C300i's 1.75 in. high frequency compression driver uses a composite mylar diaphragm; the 12 in. low frequency transducer incorporates a 3 in. Inside/Outside temperature-resistant voice coil. Both of these compensate for the fact that the speaker system must be able to handle a wide range of external power inputs (including the mega-powered PPM808S or PPM808M).

    The C300/C300i uses the same studio-quality horn assembly with multi-cell aperture horn throat and large format exponential/conical high-frequency horn mouth for superb dispersion. This means everyone in your audience hears clearly...not just the people in the middle between the speakers.

    And like the SRM450, the C300/C300i has the same asymmetrical trapezoidal cabinet for minimum internal resonance and the ability to recline for floor monitor use. And the same weight-balanced enclosure with dual side handles and top handle, built-in pole mount, and 10 built-in hanging points. But instead of internal amplification, the C300/C300i has a Low-Impedance Compensated Crossover (LICC) with full built-in transducer protection and Speakon or TS (Tip-Sleeve) inputs that just beg to be energized to shock volumes with a PPM mixer or FR Series power amplifier.
