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.
