The M2000 is a 2000 watt power amplifier when operating in bridged mono mode. It can also drive a two channel stereo load at a maximum of 1000 watts per channel with 2 ohm speakers. It is designed to be used either in studio or live concert environments. The innovative cooling system features two variable speed fans which bring cool air in from the rear of the unit. When the amplifier is at idle, or operating at low volumes, the fans will remain off or spin at low speeds, ensuring that your recording or mixing sessions will not be disturbed by fan noise.
Transient attacks, such as a particularly energetic drum fill or bass pop, can often be the bane of a power amplifier's existence. These come across an amplifier at much higher volumes, which can result in audible distortion, damaging your speakers or other equipment, and offending the ears of your audience. The M2000 has a built in limiting circuit, which automatically senses transient attacks and reduces their volume to prevent the waveforms from clipping. This process is so transparent that you may not even hear it taking place. For studio or low volume operation, however, the limiting circuit can easily be disabled on a per-channel basis. The M2000 also has a crossover filter for each channel, allowing it to drive both a subwoofer and main speaker simultaneously or power a bi-amplified speaker.
For those musicians who keep their amplifier running at high levels all day, the M2000 introduces some innovative new features designed to increase efficiency, and therefore the life of the unit. One of these is a 2-rail Class H electrical design, which utilizes additional power rails only when they are absolutely required. This avoids the common problem of an amplifier losing its efficiency, and increasing greatly in temperature, when it is used at higher volumes. The M2000 is an extremely solid package, weighing in at 41 pounds. It is backed by Mackie's five year limited warranty.
Based in Washington State, Mackie is a provider of various types of sound reinforcement technology including mixers, loudspeakers, and amplifiers. They are a relatively new player in the power amplifier market, but continue to make a splash with each new release. Mackie M2000 Power Amplifiers are part of a new class of power amps, determined to offer one of the most efficient amplifier designs ever, along with a high degree of user friendliness.
Mackie M2000 Power Amplifiers - Summary:
* Rated for a maximum output of 2000 watts (mono, bridged), or 1000 watts per channel in stereo mode
* Adaptive circuitry limits transient attacks, preventing clipped waveforms from damaging your speakers
* High efficiency design draws extra current only when needed, keeping the unit running in near silence when operated at low volumes
* Crossover filter available for each channel, allowing for simultaneous subwoofer and main speaker, or bi-amplified, operation
