Powerful Mackie PA speakers!

Get ready to blow your audience's socks off with the new Mackie SA1521z Active loudspeakers! The SA1521z is a result of a collaboration between Mackie and Eastern Acoustic works that packs 500 watts of wallop into an innovative enclosure and delivers amazingly clean, open sound.

Mackie SA1521z at a Glance:
  • New design with increased power, recalibrated electronics and audiophile tuning
  • Clean, clear sound from 15" woofer and 1.75" tweeter
  • Unique horn design focuses mids and highs
  • 500 watts of power
  • Super-efficient cabinet design by Eastern Acoustic Works

New design with increased power, recalibrated electronics and audiophile tuning
The Super Active SA1521z PA speakers are designed to improve upon the award-winning Mackie SA designs of the past with maximized power, recalibrated active electronics, high-definition neodymium drivers, as well as extensive acoustic design and tuning by the world-renowned Eastern Acoustic Works engineering team. These speakers give you maximum sound from a compact footprint, making them ideal for gigging in clubs and touring in the van.

Clean, clear sound from 15" woofer and 1.75" tweeter
The SA1521z 2-way system employs several distinct elements to achieve its amazing accuracy and full, natural sound. High frequencies are produced by a 1.75" neodymium compression driver. The SA1521z employs a 15" low-frequency driver for clean, tight bass. Frequency response for the SA1521z is a remarkably full 44Hz-20kHz.

Unique horn design focuses mids and highs
Additionally, the SA1521z features an optimized horn element that incorporates a low-distortion symmetric phase plug for improved dispersion and very natural mid and high-frequency response. The resulting dispersion pattern provides open, natural sound for the entire audience, even at extreme output levels - giving the 2-way SA1521z loudspeakers a distinct high-definition signature across the range.

500 watts of power
The new SA1521z loudspeaker offers 400 watts of power to lows and 100 watts to highs for plenty of punch. The completely re-calibrated active electronics, which include precision crossover, level protection and electronic time correction, work in concert with the new neodymium high-frequency drivers to deliver greater accuracy, increased output, and reduced weight. To ensure maximum structural rigidity, the SA1521z features robust cabinets constructed from 18mm Baltic birch plywood and pressure-injected structural resin.

Super-efficient cabinet design by Eastern Acoustic Works
In addition, the new SA1521z was developed and tuned exclusively by the Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) engineering team. As a result of their efforts, every model in Mackie's new SA Series range functions as a highly efficient system, optimizing acoustic, electronic and mechanical designs to achieve the highest level of performance and value.

Mackie SA1521z Features:
  • 15" low-frequency driver
  • 1.75" neodymium compression tweeter
  • 90 x 40-degree horn for open, natural sound
