Mackie FRS 1300 Power Amplifiers incorporate all of the clipping protection mechanisms from the FR series in a package that is lighter and easier to transport than ever. No power amplifier from the FRS series weighs more than 22 pounds. The heaviest amplifier from the FR series weighs over 56 pounds! The new, lighter switching power supply in the FRS 1300 is ready to be used anywhere in the world, with the proper adapters.
The FRS 1300 includes the same Fast Recovery technology found in the FR series of power amplifiers. Conventional power amplifiers can become momentary "locked" in clipping mode after clipping has been caused by a transient attack, resulting in distorted sound. Fast Recovery resolves this, by allowing the amplifier to return to normal operation after clipping has occurred, faster than ever before. The FRS 1300 also has an automatic limiter, which can be enabled or disabled at the user's discretion via a rear-panel switch. When enabled, the limiter detects when a transient attack will result in clipping, and limit the internal gain of the amplifier to prevent it. The limiting circuit is transparent and nearly impossible to detect in normal operation, so it is recommended to be left on for the safety of your equipment.
The FRS 1300 is rated for a maximum output of 1300 watts when bridged and driving a single 4 ohm speaker. In stereo operation, it has a maximum output of 650 watts per channel with 2 ohm speakers. It is equally well suited for driving a subwoofer as it is for powering main speakers, thanks to a convenient 30 Hz high pass filter which can be enabled for the sake of protecting your speakers. When the FRS 1300 is being used to drive speakers that can not reproduce subsonic bass frequencies, the high pass filter can be enabled, causing the amplifier to automatically attenuate all frequencies that are below the human range of hearing, keeping your speakers protected from potentially damaging frequencies.
Since its founding, Mackie has been an industry leader in sound reinforcement technology for clubs, concert halls, churches, studios, and all conceivable sound applications. Mackie pioneered its Fast Recovery technology in the FR series of power amplifiers, and has further evolved this technology with the introduction of the new FRS series.
The FRS 1300 weighs just 21 pounds, is cooled by two variable speed fans, and is protected by Mackie's three year factory warranty (can be extended to five years after purchase).
Mackie FRS 1300 Power Amplifiers - Summary:
* Rated for a maximum output of 1300 watts (bridged, mono) or 650 watts per stereo channel
* Same Fast Recovery technology made famous by the FR power amplifier series
* Automatic limiting circuit prevents the clipping and speaker damage that can be caused by transient attacks
* Optional high pass filter attenuates frequencies below 30 Hz for main speaker usage
