Vision Series
Compact Two-Way Speaker System
PA261
The PA261 is an extremely versatile wide-dispersion,
low-pro le, two-way loudspeaker system offering sub-
stantial power and value for a variety of professional
applications that include primary sound reinforcement
and supplementary  ll for larger systems. Its sub-compact
size makes it ideal for low visibility column, side-wall
or under-balcony mounting. The high-frequency sec-
tion is a constant directivity horn loaded to a 1-inch
titanium diaphragm tweeter for smooth, wide dispersion.
The low-frequency transducers are two 6-inch carbon
ber woofers suitable for dif cult climatic environments.
The system includes a high-level crossover network
that features markedly lower (than conventional)
induction values in series with the woofer. We call
this innovation LICC (Low Impedance Compensated
Crossover). The bene t is delay reduction, reduced
phase shift and superior transient response. Dynamic
high-frequency driver protection is accomplished with
a fast-response  lament resistor, chosen to comple-
ment the power curve of the driver.
The Mackie PA261 is a part of the VISION family of
loudspeaker products including full-range, cost-effective
two-way loudspeakers and complementary subwoofer
cabinets. These enclosures have a trapezoidal foot-
print for easy array con guration. All enclosures are
constructed using 19 mm void-free, birch plywood
and  nished with a scratch-resistant black coating.
Transducer components are protected from the envi-
ronment by a heavy gauge metal grille. The VISION
products are eminently suited for  xed installation,
ready for suspension via built-in M10 inserts with
metal reinforcement and forged shoulder eyebolt hard-
ware. The PA261 also includes M8 inserts.
This Mackie product is covered by an exclusive, one-
time, NO FAULT repair policy in addition to a  ve year
limited warranty.
