INTRODUCTION
mammoth aluminum heatsink that eliminates the need
for fans. A tremendous benet of having the ampli-
ers located within the loudspeaker cabinet is that the
SR1521z functions as a system, optimizing acoustic,
electronic, and mechanical designs to achieve the high-
est level of performance and value.
The rear mounted amplier assembly features
separate signal and AC power panels separated by the
heatsink. The signal input panel contains:
• an input XLR and loop-through XLR
• a volume level control
• Power ON indicator
• Signal Present indicator
• Limit indicator
• Thermal Protection indicator
The cabinet is constructed using both 18 mm Baltic
birch plywood and pressure injected structural resin.
A carrying handle is integrated into each side for easy
loading and transport.
Thank you for choosing Mackie’s active sound reinforce-
ment loudspeaker systems.
The SR1521z is a high-efciency, high output, horn-
loaded, 2-way, wide-dispersion, active sound reinforce-
ment system. The SR1521z benets from the integration
of 500 watts of amplier power, complete active control
electronics, and precision transducer components.
These elements together form a speaker system with
unprecedented output, resolution, and clarity.
The 1.75-inch neodymium high-frequency compres-
sion driver features a low-distortion optimized symmet-
ric phase plug.
The low frequencies are produced by a high-output
15-inch woofer featuring a 2.5-inch high-temperature
voice coil.
Connecting and setting up the SR1521z is a breeze. It
accepts a line-level signal via a female XLR input jack.
A male XLR Thru jack is provided for daisy-chaining the
signal to additional SR1521z cabinets.
Two built-in power ampliers provide 100 watts rms
for the high-frequency driver and 300 watts rms for the
low-frequency driver. The amplier modules sit on a
