Visual Sound, Inc. 3000-Watt High-Efficiency Stereo Power Amplifier M3000

Mackie Designs, Inc. The M-2000 (2000W), M-3000 (3000W), and M-4000 (4000W) represent the pinnacle of Class-H power amp engineering, from a design team with a collective 38 years of amplifier experience. We named the M-Series "High-Efficiency Amplifiers" for their ability to squeeze every drop of power out of standard 120/240v power outlets, delivering more watts to your loudspeakers than anything even close to their price. And not only do the M-Series deliver major watts, but they sound incredible, thanks to Class-H power stages, new built-in limiters, a sparing use of negative feedback, and perfect crossover integration with Mackie's Precision Passive loudspeakers. The final major M-Series advantage is their next-generation Fast Recovery and Adaptive Slew circuitry, a Mackie hallmark which lets them run "in the red" for hours on end without compromising sound integrity. High-Efficiency Design What makes the M-Series so efficient? Glad you asked. The M-2000 utilizes 2-rail Class-H circuitry, while the M3000 & M4000 utilize the higher power capacity 3-rail Class-H circuitry. (If you understand this, skip this paragraph and give us a call. We're always hiring at Mackie.) For the non-engineers among us, 2- and 3-rail Class-H circuitry taps into additional power rails only when needed. This results in much greater efficiency and less destructive heat. So it runs very cool versus other types of power amp designs, especially in real-world applications playing real music. This design not only maximizes power, but also improves long-term reliability.
