Mackie MX3500 3500 Watt Professional Stereo Power Amplifier

Product Description

Overview

The perfect choice for your DRM Series passive system. Deliver efficient and reliable power, this rugged power amp is ideal for installations or portable audio systems. The MX-3500 is capable of delivering 2700W of continuous power (8 Ohms bridged configuration), with selectable parallel, stereo, and bridged operating modes. It can also be used with your DRM loudspeakers in conjunction with an SP260 Loudspeaker Processor for effective processing and a complete Mackie professional system. The amplifier provides you with two channels, each featuring their own independent level control, XLR input and THRU, signal LED, clip LED, and fault LED. The MX-3500 also gives you the option to select the input sensitivity. The MX-3500’s enclosure boasts a robust impact-resistant all-steel construction, with incredibly-reliable NL4 SpeakON outputs. The amp can be mounted in standard 19” racks, taking up 2U of rack space. With an ultra-lightweight switchmode power supply, the MX-3500 ensures maximum efficiency, whilst forced-air ventilation prevents heat build-up. Plus, with Short, Under-Impedance, Over-Current, and Thermal protection built-in, you can be sure that your amp will perform consistently and safely for every single show.

Features

The amplifier features two channels. Each channel is equipped with a dedicated level control, as well as their own XLR input, THRU, signal LED, clip LED, and fault LED. You can also select the input sensitivity for the amplifier, allowing you to build a versatile system with consistent performance. Plus, built-in protection circuitry combined with an impact-resistant all-steel 2U rack-mountable chassis ensures your amp will remain reliable night after night. The MX-3500 features an ultra-lightweight switching power supply. This versatile design guarantees maximum efficiency combined with minimal heat build-up, whilst forced-air ventilation keeps your amp running cool. Plus, you can combine the MX-3500 with Mackie’s SP260 Loudspeaker Processor. This powerful combination lets you build a complete Mackie professional system, giving you access to efficient power as well as the SP260’s EQ, crossover, delay, and dynamics processing.
