M•1400/M•1400i
The Mackie M
•
1400/M•1400i is a dual channel, high
output power amplifier that incorporates a number of
unique features including FR
“Fast Recovery” design,
high continuous-current output, built-in subwoofer
crossovers, and a T-Design constant-gradient cooling
tunnel for improved cooling efficiency and output device
reliability.
The M
•
1400/M•1400i is rated at a continuous out-
put of 250 watts per channel into 8
Ω
, 425 watts per
channel into 4
Ω
and 630 watts into 2
Ω
. In bridge mode
the M
•
1400/M•1400i is rated at 850 watts into 8
Ω
and 1260 watts into 4
Ω
. Variable low-cut filters on
each channel, with a range from off to 170Hz, enable
tighter bass response and a Constant Directivity Horn
EQ improves high-frequency reproduction. The CD Horn
EQ is 6 dB/octave and its “knee” position is sweepable
from 2kHz to 6kHz. The built-in limiter is channel
independent and helps eliminate clipping. Inputs are
balanced/unbalanced 1/4" and XLR, and XLR thru con-
nectors allow the full-range signal to be routed to another
M
•
1400/M•1400i. Speaker connections on the M
•
1400
are Speakon® and binding posts, while speaker connec-
tions on the M
•
1400i are 1/4" and binding posts.
To effectively deal with clipping, an amplifier must
be able to recover almost instantaneously. That is the
definition of “Fast Recovery”. Rather than using nega-
tive feedback to help control clipping distortion, the
M•1400/M•1400i employs a very sparse amount of
negative feedback. The use of Baker Clamp circuits on
the positive and negative voltage amp stages prevents
saturation (and latching) during periods of overdrive. In
addition, a transistor senses when the Baker Clamp is
active and activates the internal limiting circuits. This
results in no latching, instant recovery from overdriving
the amp, and a superior sound.
