Mackie C200 Passive Speaker 200w RMS 10 Inch 2-way 10" SR Loudspeaker C-200

Mackie C200 Passive Speaker 200w RMS 10 Inch 2-way 10" SR Loudspeaker C-200

Looking for renowned Mackie sound quality in a portable, lightweight package?  Want to instantly upgrade the sound of your existing powered mixer or amplifier  without breaking the bank? Our C200 2-Way Portable Passive Loudspeakers put the  superior clarity, wide dispersion, and legendary ergonomics of the SRM Series  within reach of any serious musician, DJ, or small club. These compact-yet-loud  speakers can be pole-mounted for use as a small full-range PA system, combined  with subwoofers as needed, and even employed as high-quality passive floor  monitors.

DESIGNED AND TUNED BY EAW

The new C Series Passive Loudspeakers represent Mackie's first  lightweight passive speakers designed and tuned exclusively by the Eastern  Acoustic Works (EAW) loudspeaker engineering team--the same folks responsible  for designing loudspeaker systems for the Super Bowl, the Olympics and the  Vatican. And although loudspeakers for these mega-systems cost exponentially  more than the humble C200, some of the same concepts applied, namely: designing  custom 10" LF drivers with a frequency range from 59 Hz – 3000 Hz and a 2" voice  coil that can take a pounding. And a 1.4" High-Frequency titanium Driver and  Horn providing a wide, controlled dispersion pattern and precise reproduction of  the critical 1000 Hz – 20,000 Hz upper mid-range and high frequencies.

CROSSOVERS TUNED TO PERFECTION

Tuning a crossover (i.e. voicing a system), involves dozens of critical  decisions that many manufacturers overlook. In the end, it is all about  balancing the design so that you get the best subjective results from the  speaker while maintaining a good technical implementation. The crossover in the  C Series is a unique Low Impedance Compensated Crossover (LICC) design with an  asymmetrical slope. With EQ and crossover points meticulously chosen so that  beamwidth patterns match in both drivers, C Series loudspeakers offer natural  sound at all volume levels. Read more.

ULTRA-WIDE DISPERSION

A loudspeaker's dispersion characteristic shouldn't be lame just because  its compact in size. We know that venues like coffee houses and small theatre /  rec rooms can be hard to cover. Owners usually have to make do with odd shaped  rooms and fixtures placed wherever they fit.

The C200's high-frequency compression driver is mounted on an  acoustically non-resonant exponential waveguide, providing a wide, controlled  dispersion pattern and precise reproduction of the critical upper mid-range and  high frequencies. The result is an unbelievably smooth off-axis response that  allows everyone in the audience to experience the same high-resolution audio no  matter where they are seated.

THINKING INSIDE THE BOX

Anyone with a factory can build a box and stick some speakers in it (and  that's just what many do). But low-frequency transducers in square boxes can  create resonances that reflect off the rear wall and pass through the woofer  cone out of phase, and ready to mess up your sound. The C200 enclosure is an  asymmetrical monocoque design with no parallel surfaces, causing mid and high  frequency resonances to be reflected at angles into internal damping materials,  instead of interfering with the woofer doing its thing.

BUILT FOR SERIOUS ABUSE

Designed for use with existing speakers and power amps (and optimized for  use with the Mackie PPM Series), the C200 loudspeakers are passive versions of  our industry-standard SRM350 portable active loudspeakers. These speakers'  injection-molded composite chassis is built for the rigors of the road. And they  shrug off impacts that would turn those cheap-o, fuzz covered wood box speakers  into toothpicks.

MAKES A WONDERFUL FLOOR MONITOR TOO!

A good floor monitor plays loudly without generating feedback through  vocal microphones. A poor floor monitor, on the other hand, will generate  feedback just about the time you turn it up to a useable level. Floor monitor  feedback is often caused by uneven frequency response and dispersion; some  frequencies arrive at the microphone much louder than others. These "spikes" are  what trigger feedback as the floor monitor volume is increased. The C200 has  incredibly smooth, spike-free response and dispersion over a wide range of  treble frequencies. So you can increase its volume without boosting those nasty,  feedback-inducing spikes. Without extensive tuning, no passive speaker or  specialized floor wedge in this class can even come close.
