Mackie HD1501
Mackie's HD1501 15" Powered Subwoofer is capable of producing 1200W of power and
features Class-D Fast Recovery™ amplification. Expertly tweaked tuning filters, internal
crossovers and protection circuitry are designed by EAW for the ultimate in professional
performance.
The precision-tuned HD1501 features a high-pass output specifically designed to alleviate
the power-hungry low frequencies from getting to your top boxes. The entire system
features protective circuitry including peak and RMS limiting, over-excursion and
thermal protection.
The HD1501 Powered Subwoofer delivers 1200 watts of peak power using Mackie's Class-D
Fast Recovery™ amplification. Class-D amps allow for extremely high-output in a design
that is much lighter than traditional amplifiers. Mackie's Fast Recovery™ design
allows the amplifier to recover more quickly when pushed into clipping, which means
less distortion when things get too loud.
The HD1501's ported, direct-radiating design means super-low frequency extension
that is smooth and powerful. EAW also custom specified the 15" driver to work in
perfect harmony with the amplifier. Some competitors claim high wattage, but use
limiters to reduce the amount of actual power that hits the speaker. Precision phase
control and tuning filters make the HD1501 the perfect companion to the HD1521 or
SRM450v2, especially when using the high-pass outputs.
The HD1501's enclosure is built using 15mm birch and is covered in durable textured
black paint that minimizes the risk of scratching. The grill is made using powder
coated steel and flush with the enclosure to avoid denting.
