Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifi cations
The active, 3-way, full-range loudspeaker system shall
incorporate four 12-inch low-frequency (LF) transducers,
one horn-loaded 8-inch mid-frequency (MF) transducer and
a 1.4-inch exit, 3-inch titanium diaphragm, compression
driver high-frequency (HF) transducer. The LF drivers shall be
mounted in a vented, multi-ply birch wood enclosure, tuned
for optimum low-frequency response. The MF transducer
shall be sealed from the rear and loaded on a one-piece horn
assembly providing optimum compression ratio and disper-
sion characteristics. The HF transducer shall be mounted on
an aluminum, constant-directivity horn. The system shall pro-
vide a nominal coverage pattern of 80˚ (horizontal) x 70˚ (ver-
tical). System frequency response shall vary no more than
±3dB from 60Hz to 18kHz measured on axis. The loudspeaker
shall incorporate a low-frequency amplifi er, capable of deliv-
ering 1500 watts over a frequency range of 20Hz to 500Hz.
The system shall incorporate a 300-watt amplifi er specifi cally
designed to power the MF driver over the range of 500Hz
to 2.5kHz and a 150-watt amplifi er specifi cally designed to
power the high-
frequency driver over the range of 2.5kHz to 20kHz. The
amplifi ers shall be mounted on an aluminum heat sink
installed within the cabinet. The loudspeaker enclosure shall
have a trapezoidal shape and shall incorporate four side han-
dles along with hanging and rigging hardware. The system
will include a control panel with XLR input connector and an
XLR loop-through signal connector, a high-pass or full-range
mode selection switch, a sub-out XLR connector providing
low-pass audio and control signal for subwoofer systems, a
“Fill-Out” XLR connector with level and phase controls, and
power and protection mode LED indicators. The front of the
loudspeaker shall be covered with a powder-coated, weather-
resistant perforated steel grille.
The active 3-way full-range loudspeaker system shall be
the Mackie Designs FUSSION 3000.
deliver very high output levels (133dB peak-full range) and
wide dispersion, the system can only be line-arrayed with
other FUSSION 3000 cabinets. The system’s wide dispersion
characteristics do not allow it to be used in large arrays.

FUSSION 3000 is the fi rst professional speaker system
to create a completely ideal union between transducers
and amplifi ers. To ensure long-term reliability and perfor-
mance, the amplifi er cards and processor are mounted to a
huge heat sink eliminating the need for fans, dramatically
extending life expectancy and eliminating maintenance
cycles. An easily-accessible rear input and control panel
offers substantial signal routing fl exibility. All audio connec-
tions are via XLR connectors, including a main input with a
loop-through output for connection to other enclosures.A
Full Range/High Pass switch allows the FUSSION 3000 to
be operated full range or above 85Hz only. A SUB-OUT con-
nector allows simple connection to the Fussion 1800AS/
1800S active subwoofer system. The SUB-OUT signal is
low-passed below 85Hz and also contains the limiting and
protection circuitry for the active subs. For sound reinforce-
ment situations where “fi ll” speakers are needed, there is a
Fill-Out connector with level and (0˚–180˚) phase controls.
Mackie’s FUSSION 3000 can run on 115V AC or 230V AC
single phase. The system features soft-start circuitry that
eliminates “pops” and precisely controls AC in-rush current
surges.
