The ART200A is a full-range two-way

professional active speaker system that
combines high power and wide bandwidth in
a light-weight enclosure for fixed-installation
systems. The 12" low-frequency transducer, in
combination with a 1" compression driver
coupled to an integral 90˚ x 70˚ constant
directivity polynomial horn, form an extremely
powerful package for any small to medium-
sized sound reinforcement application.

It features a balanced XLR input with a

Mic/Line switch and a paralleled balanced
XLR output for cascading multiple speakers.
Rear panel controls also include Music and
Voice equalization switches, a rotary volume
control, and an input limiter.

The two built-in power amplifiers provide

120W for the LF driver and 40W for the HF
driver. The enclosure is constructed of high-
strength polypropylene, with M10 threaded
inserts on all four sides for rigging, and an
integral locking 1-3/8" socket in the bottom
for mounting on a standard speaker stand.

Safety First!

Before connecting and using the

equipment, please read this Quick-Start Guide
carefully and keep it for future reference.

WARNING!

 This equipment has been

designed to be installed by qualified
professionals only! There are many factors to
be considered when installing professional
sound reinforcement systems, including
mechanical and electrical considerations, as
well as acoustic coverage and performance.
Mackie Industrial strongly recommends that
this equipment be installed only by a
professional sound installer or contractor.

1. Never install, connect, or disconnect

the unit with the power supply on.

2. Before powering up the speaker,

make sure the voltage select switch
corresponds to the AC Voltage supply.

3. Make sure the safety ground on the

power cord is properly grounded.

4. To prevent the risk of electric shock,

never open the unit. There are no
user serviceable parts inside.

5. To ensure normal cooling of the

amplifier, make sure the unit is well-
ventilated. Avoid exposure to direct
sunlight or proximity to any heat
source, dust, or dampness.
