Mackie SWA1801z Active Subwoofer System

Picking up where the SWA1501 leaves off, the Mackie SWA1801z Active Subwoofer ups the ante with even more wattage and a bigger 18" transducer. The Mackie SWA1801z features an internal 800-Watt FR (Fast Recovery) Series amplifier and a high-precision 18" transducer custom designed for optimal performance with the amp and enclosure. Onboard Mackie Active electronics ensure seamless integration of the amplifier and transducer at all times, creating a system that is highly efficient and versatile. Add it all up and this high-output system will peel the paint right off the walls!

TRUE ACTIVE SUBWOOFER
Active doesn't just mean the Mackie SWA1801z has an amplifier bolted on its back - it means optimized electronics that provide complete control and maximum performance over all components. The onboard Active system controls the crossover filters, equalization, protection for the transducer and electronics, and provides real time vigilance over the entire system. There is simply no way that you can get this kind of full system functionality by strapping an amp on the back of a passive speaker box.

NO NEED FOR AN EXTERNAL CROSSOVER
Connecting and setting up the Mackie SWA1801z is a breeze. It accepts a stereo or mono line-level signal via female XLR input jacks. Male XLR Thru jacks are provided for daisy-chaining the signal to additional SWA1801z cabinets. The built-in crossover routes the high frequency content to the high-pass output jacks, which can be used to feed the inputs of full-range Active speakers, such as those in the SRM Series, or an amplifier powering a pair of passive speakers. A Subwoofer Level control lets you adjust the balance between the subwoofer and the full-range speakers.
