Mackie Designs continually engages in research related to product improvement. New material, produc-

expression of that philosophy. For this reason, any current Mackie Industrial product may differ in some
respect from its published description, but will always equal or exceed the original design specications

 The PA152 is an extremely versatile, medium-throw,
two-way loudspeaker system offering wide bandwidth,
low prole, substantial power and value for a variety
of professional applications that include primary sound
reinforcement and supplementary ll for large speaker
systems.
 The low-frequency transducer is a 15" woofer with an
efcient 4" voice coil that can provide excellent low-
frequency response along with high power handling.
The high-frequency section combines a modied constant
directivity horn with a 2" exit coupled to a titanium com-
pression driver with a 3" coil.
 The system includes a high-level crossover network
that features markedly lower (than conventional) induc-
tion values in series with the woofer. We call this inno-
vation LICC (Low Impedance Compensated Crossover).
The benet is delay reduction, reduced phase shift and
superior transient response. Dynamic high-frequency
driver protection is accomplished with a fast-response
lament resistor, chosen to complement the power curve
of the driver. The PA152’s crossover is easily bypassed for
bi-amp or tri-amp (with the PA180SW) operation via an
installer-accessible changeover block. Back panel indica-
tors display the current system setting.
 The Mackie Industrial PA152 is a part of the VISION
family of loudspeaker products including full-range,
cost-effective, two-way loudspeakers and complemen-
tary subwoofer cabinets. The two-way enclosures have
a trapezoidal footprint for easy array conguration. All
enclosures are constructed using 19 mm void-free, birch
plywood and nished with a scratch resistant black
coating. Transducer components are protected from the
environment by a heavy gauge metal grille. The VISION
products are eminently suited for xed installation, ready
for suspension, via built-in M10 inserts with metal rein-
forcement and forged shoulder eyebolt hardware.
 This Mackie Industrial product is covered by an exclu-
sive, one-time, NO FAULT repair policy in addition to a ve
year limited warranty.
