The new Mackie SA1232z puts out an astounding
1300W and creates the highest SPL you can get from a standard power
outlet—a staggering 136dB. That's like standing next to an industrial
strength pile-driver, only one that's a lot more musical and a whole
lot more accurate. These amps are so powerful and convert so much
electricity to sound, we highly recommend you give each Mackie SA1232z
its very own circuit, unless of course, you just enjoy resetting
circuit breakers.
The
SAz Series represents Mackie's best to date; our ultimate Super Active
Loudspeaker systems, re-designed from the ground up and tuned by the
gurus at Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW). The SA1232z is a 3-way, active
loudspeaker featuring our optimized WaveFront™ horn design, providing
better coverage, detail, and vocal intelligibility — features
previously unattainable in this class.
The 1970s Called...They Want Their Giant Speakers Back.
Ever wonder why don't you see 24- or 36-inch LF transducers? You'd
think they'd blast bass like Thor himself was on drums. Turns out, as
woofer cones get bigger, they get slower due to the massive amounts of
air they must move — bass gets “mushy" and craps out. So, instead of an
18" woofer, we opted to deliver faster, tighter bass by using dual 12"
LF transducers with 3" voice coils (which keeps the SA1232z's footprint
small). These dual 12" woofers have nearly the same surface area as a
single 18" but move much faster — especially when driven by up to 20
amps of current. You'll get the tightest bass you've never heard.
Don't Skimp On The Highs And Mids
We gave the Mackie SA1232z a new 1.75" titanium design high-frequency
transducer with a Neodymium magnet structure. A driver this
state-of-the-art simply isn't found in any other pro audio loudspeaker
system. The SA1232z's 6-inch Neodymium midrange transducer is capable
of four times the output of previous designs. And our Optimized
WaveFront™ horn design allows the HF horn to fire slightly downward,
into the midrange, providing more predictable, consistent coverage and
an incredibly smooth transition between the mids and highs. Our
“competition" can't even come close to the quality and performance of
the loudspeakers in this class.
Superior Sound All Around
When
you first hear the Mackie SA1232z, you'll notice how clean, accurate,
and warm the midrange is. Vocals have incredible detail without being
harsh. Instruments are clear and defined without muddying up the mix.
Then, if you crank up the sound source, you'll notice remarkable
fidelity that doesn't go away as the volume goes up. You're hearing
blisteringly loud and accurate at the same time, a phenomenon not
common to conventional PA systems, in this class. These speakers will
not only make you sound better — they'll inspire you to play better!
