HDA: POLE-MOUNTED WITH POWERED SUBWOOFER(S)
This type of setup will typically be found at small indoor or outdoor gigs, festivals, weddings, or parades
where a high output PA with wide coverage and throw is necessary. This is a great setup for local DIY
bands, too.
The left output from a mixer feeds INPUT A of a Mackie HD1801 powered subwoofer. The HIGH PASS
OUTPUT A of the subwoofer feeds the MAIN INPUT of a Mackie HDA powered loudspeaker. The LOOP OUT of
that Mackie HDA powered loudspeaker feeds the MAIN INPUT of the next Mackie HDA powered loudspeaker.
The HDAs reproduce the mid-to-high frequencies in mono, and the subs provide the low frequencies in mono.
The Array Mode switch should be in the ‘1-2’ position on both units.
Since two HDAs are in the array, it is possible to reproduce this exact same hookup in stereo. Simply utilize
the left and right main outputs from the mixer to feed the main inputs of each subwoofer and mirror the rest of
the system as identifi ed above.
Another important aspect to keep in mind is the rigging setup of loudspeakers. In this diagram, the HDAs
are pole-mounted on a subwoofer, utilizing an SPM200 adjustable pole. Refer to page 17 to view a table listing
other confi guration possibilities and pages 18 and 19 for more information about rigging.
Note that the HDAs AC power may be linked via the AC LOOP. Refer to page 6 for details on daisy-chaining
AC power.
