Mackie has introduced a line of loudspeakers specifically designed for installation applications, the new iP (Install Performance) Series.
The series includes three full-range models (10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch) and a companion 18-inch subwoofer. All three full-range models offer eight M10 rigging points and a rotatable 90- by 50-degree horn to support both vertical and horizontal positioning. A rotatable center logo allows for clean presentation in all configurations.
“We’re extremely excited to deliver a professional Mackie solution for the install market,” states John Boudreau, Mackie SVP, Product Marketing. “iP loudspeakers deliver stunning performance and have a clean look perfect for even the most aesthetically-demanding venues.”
Premium components include high-output, custom-designed woofers with large voice coils and 1.4-inch titanium diaphragm compression drivers that are designed to provide a smooth, consistent high-frequency response. A choice of Neutrik or terminal connections is offered.
A selection of mounting accessories adds flexibility, including both a ceiling and wall-mount bracket. And, the optional SP260 2 x 6 digital processor provides presets optimized specifically for iP Series loudspeakers.
“With the demanding needs of install applications, each and every detail is important,” Boudreau adds. “From horizontal and vertical hangs, to low-profile wall and ceiling mount accessories plus a rotatable logo that presents well in any orientation, iP series is the perfect solutuion when the client is focused on the perfect aesthetic.”
