Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications
The active, 3-way, full-range loudspeaker system
shall incorporate four 12-inch low-frequency (LF) trans-
ducers, 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 vent-
ed, 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
dispersion characteristics. The HF transducer shall be
mounted on an aluminum, constant-directivity horn.
The system shall provide a nominal coverage pattern of
80˚ (horizontal) x 70˚ (vertical). System frequency
response shall vary no more than ±3dB from 60Hz to
18kHz measured on axis. The loudspeaker shall incor-
porate a low-frequency amplifier, capable of delivering
1500 watts over a frequency range of 20Hz to 500Hz.
The system shall incorporate a 300-watt amplifier
specifically designed to power the MF driver over the
range of 500Hz to 2.5kHz and a 150-watt amplifier
specifically designed to power the high-
frequency driver over the range of 2.5kHz to 20kHz.
The amplifiers 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 handles 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 provid-
ing 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 cov-
ered with a powder-coated, weather-resistant perforat-
ed steel grille.
The active 3-way full-range loudspeaker system
shall be the Mackie Designs FUSSION 3000.
electronic equalization and complete amplifier and
component protection. Because it is designed to
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 sys-
tem’s wide dispersion characteristics do not allow it to
be used in large arrays.

FUSSION 3000 is the first professional speaker sys-
tem to create a completely ideal union between trans-
ducers and amplifiers. To ensure long-term reliability
and performance, the amplifier 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 flexibility. All audio connections 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 connector 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 reinforcement situations where
“fill” speakers are needed, there is a Fill-Out connector
with level and (0˚–180˚) phase controls. Mackie's FUS-
SION 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.
