Vision Series

High Efficiency Subwoofer Speaker System

PA180SW

SPEAKER

■

The PA180SW high-efficiency subwoofer is the ideal

bass-frequency extension to complement the VISION

series two-way loudspeakers.

■

The low-frequency transducer is a high-power 18"

woofer with a 4" voice coil. Using horn-re

fl

ex loading

to the transducer, the subwoofer design ensures an

ef

fi

cient acoustic response down to 40Hz.

■

The subwoofer system includes a high-level

crossover network that features markedly lower (than

conventional) induction values in series with the

woofer. We call this innovation LICC (Low Impedance

Compensated Crossover). The bene

fi

t is delay reduc-

tion, reduced phase shift and superior transient

response. The high-pass crossover section is connect-

ed to terminals on the input plate to facilitate easy

interface with VISION Series two-way loudspeaker sys-

tems. The crossover is easily bypassed for bi-amp or

tri-amp operation via an installer-accessible

changeover block. Back panel indicators display the

current system setting.

■

The Mackie Industrial PA180SW is a part of the

VISION family of loudspeaker products including full-

range, cost-effective, two-way loudspeakers and com-

plementary subwoofer cabinets. The two-way enclo-

sures have a trapezoidal footprint for easy array con-

fi

guration. All enclosures are constructed using 19mm

void-free, birch plywood and

fi

nished with a scratch-

resistant black coating. Transducer components are

protected from the environment by a heavy gauge

metal grille. The VISION products are eminently suited

for

fi

xed installation, ready for suspension via built-in

M10 inserts with metal reinforcement and forged

shoulder eyebolt hardware.
