Unlike typical mid/high horn designs, the high-frequency of having the amplifiers located within the loudspeaker
section is positioned to fire down into the 6-inch mid-
cabinet is that the SA1532z functions as a system, opti-
range’s dispersion pattern. This creates a focused, single mizing acoustic, electronic, and mechanical designs to

The rear mounted amplifier assembly features
separate signal and AC power panels separated by the
heatsink. The signal input panel contains:
• an input XLR and loop-through XLR
• a volume level control
The 6-inch neodymium mid-range transducer oper-
ates between 700 Hz and 3000 Hz, eliminating the place-
ment of a crossover point in the middle of critical voice
frequencies. Frequencies above 3000 Hz are reproduced
by a 1.75-inch neodymium compression driver. The low
frequencies are produced by two high-output 15-inch
woofers.

• Signal Present indicator
• Limit indicator
• Thermal Protection indicator
The cabinet is constructed using both 18 mm multi-
layered plywood and pressure injected structural resin.
A carrying handle is integrated into each side for easy
loading and transport.
Connecting and setting up the SA1532z is a breeze. It
accepts a line-level signal via a female XLR input jack.

7. THERMAL Indicator
There is also a thermal protection circuit that mon-
itors the internal temperature of the amplifiers and
heatsink. If the temperature should exceed a safe oper-
ating level, this indicator lights and the signal is muted to
allow the amplifiers to cool. When the temperature cools
to a safe level once again, the thermal protection circuit
deactivates and normal operation continues.
3. Level Control
This controls the overall signal level at the input to
the built-in power amplifiers. It ranges from –15 dB to
+5 dB of gain. The center detent is 0 dB (unity gain).
4. Power ON Indicator
Note: Activation of the thermal protection circuit is
an indication that you should take steps to avoid con-
tinued thermal problems. See “Thermal Considerations”
on page 6.
When the POWER switch is turned on, and the
linecord is connected to an active AC power supply, this
indicator lights green to let you know that you’re ready
to rock and roll. The cool blue LED on the front of the
cabinet works in the same way.
8. POWER Switch
5. SIGNAL Present Indicator
Use this switch to turn the SA1532z on and off. Make
sure the level control is turned down before you turn it
on.
This LED illuminates whenever there is a signal pres-
ent at the MAIN INPUT connector on the rear panel.
It senses the signal just after the level control, so if
the level control is turned down, the SIGNAL Present
indicator turns off.
9. AC Receptacle
This is where you connect the AC linecord to provide
AC power to the SA1532z’s built-in power amplifiers.
Plug the linecord into an AC socket properly configured
for your particular model.
6. LIMIT Indicator
The SA1532z has a built-in limiter that prevents the
amplifier outputs from clipping or overdriving
the transducers. The LIMIT indicator lights
when the limiter is activated. It's okay for the
LIMIT indicator to blink occasionally, but if it
blinks frequently or lights continuously, turn
down the level control until the LIMIT indica-
tor only blinks occasionally.

DAISY-CHAINING MULTIPLE SA1532z'S
The LOOP OUT jack is wired straight from the MAIN
INPUT connector — there is no electronic circuitry
between — so the signal coming out of the LOOP OUT
jack is exactly the same as the signal going in.
CONNECTIONS
The SA1532z has one female XLR input that accepts
a balanced line-level signal. When connecting a balanced
signal, be sure it’s wired per AES (Audio Engineering
Society) standards:
PLACEMENT

The SA1532z speaker is designed to sit on the floor or
stage.

Cold (–)
Pin 2
Pin 3
WARNING: The cabinet has no rig-
ging points and is not suitable for rig-
ging. NEVER attempt to suspend the
SA1532z by its handles. The SA1532z
should never be pole-mounted.
Shield (Ground) Pin 1
You can create a horizontal array by placing the cabi-
nets side-by-side. However, you should have a good un-
derstanding of the relationship between the splay angle
(the angle between the facing sides of the cabinets),
the on-axis power, and frequency cancellation effects
between cabinets.
When two cabinets are placed side-by-side, the actual
splay angle is 20º (determined by a 10º angle on each
cabinet side). As the splay angle increases toward the
angle of horizontal coverage (90º for the SA1532z), the
on-axis power decreases, but the frequency response
becomes smoother as the comb-filtering effects (caused
by the interaction in the area of double-coverage)
decrease.
Balanced XLR Connectors
There is also a male XLR connector labeled LOOP
OUT. This is also wired according to the above AES
standard.
The LOOP OUT connector allows you to connect
more than one SA1532z to your system. Simply plug the
signal source (i.e., mixer output) into the first MAIN
INPUT jack, and patch that speaker’s LOOP OUT jack
to the next MAIN INPUT jack, and so on, daisy-chaining
multiple speakers.
As with any powered components,
protect them from moisture. If you
are setting them up outdoors, make
sure they are under cover if you
expect rain.

Room Acoustics
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The SA1532z loudspeakers are designed to sound as
neutral as possible; that is, to reproduce the input signal
as accurately as possible.
The SA1532z has three powerful built-in amplifiers
capable of producing a combined 1300 watts of power.
As amplifiers produce heat, it is important to dissipate
the heat as quickly as possible. This results in increased
reliability and longevity for the amplifier.
Room acoustics play a crucial role in the overall per-
formance of a sound system. Here are some additional
placement tips to help overcome some typical room
problems that might arise:
The amplifier module is mounted on a large heatsink,
which is cooled by convection where cool air is drawn
through it’s fins, carrying the heat away. In order for this
convection cooling to work efficiently, it is important
to provide adequate airspace behind the loudspeaker.
When you position the SA1532z, we recommend leaving
at least six inches of air space behind it.
•
Avoid placing loudspeakers in the corners of a
room. This increases the low frequency output and
can cause the sound to be muddy and indistinct.
•
Avoid placing loudspeakers against a wall. This, too,
increases the low frequency output, though not as
much as corner placement. However, if you do need
to reinforce the low frequencies, this is a good way
to do it.
In the unlikely event of the amplifier overheating, a
built-in thermal switch will activate, which mutes the
signal and lights the THERMAL LED. When the amplifi-
er has cooled down to a safe operating temperature, the
thermal switch resets itself, and the SA1532z resumes
normal operation.
•
•
Avoid placing the speakers directly on a hollow
stage floor. A hollow stage can resonate at certain
frequencies, causing peaks and dips in the fre-
quency response of the room. It’s better to place the
loudspeakers on a sturdy table or stand designed to
handle the weight of the SA1532z.
If the thermal switch activates frequently, try turning
down the level control a notch or two on the mixing con-
sole (or the back of the SA1532z) to avoid overheating
the amplifier.
Position the loudspeakers so the high-frequency
drivers are 2 to 4 feet above ear level for the audience
(make allowances for a standing/dancing in the aisles
audience). High frequencies are highly directional
and tend to be absorbed much easier than lower
frequencies. By providing direct line-of-sight from the
loudspeakers to the audience, you increase the over-
all brightness and intelligibility of the sound system.
If the temperature in the room is too high, it could
cause the amplifier to overheat. In this case, you should
try aiming a fan at the rear panel to move more air
through the heatsink fins.
AC POWER
•
Highly reverberant rooms, like many gymnasiums
and auditoriums, are a nightmare for sound system
intelligibility. Multiple reflections off the hard walls,
ceiling, and floor play havoc with the sound. Depend-
ing on the situation, you may be able to take some
steps to minimize the reflections, such as putting
carpeting on the floors, closing draperies to cover
large glass windows, or hanging tapestries or other
materials on the walls to absorb some of the sound.
Be sure the SA1532z is plugged into an outlet that
is able to supply the correct voltage specified for your
model. If the voltage should drop below 97% of the spec-
ified line voltage, the built-in amplifiers will no longer
be able to supply rated power. (They will continue to
operate down to 80% of the rated line voltage, but won’t
reach full power, resulting in lower headroom.)
Be sure the electrical service can supply enough am-
perage for all the components connected to it.
However, in most cases, these remedies are not possi-
ble or practical. So what do you do? Making the sound
system louder generally doesn’t work because the
reflections become louder, too. The best approach is to
provide as much direct sound coverage to the audience
as possible. The farther away you are from the speaker,
the more prominent will be the reflected sound.
We recommend that a stiff (robust) supply of AC
power be used because the amplifiers place high cur-
rent demands on the AC line. The more power that is
available on the line, the louder the speakers will play
and the more peak output power will be available for
cleaner, punchier bass. A suspected problem of “poor
bass performance” is often caused by a weak AC supply
to the amplifiers.
Use more speakers strategically placed so they are
closer to the back of the audience. If the distance
between the front and back speakers is more than
about 100 feet, you should use a delay processor to
time-align the sound. (Since sound travels about
1 foot per millisecond, it takes about 1/10 of a
second to travel 100 feet.)
Never remove the ground pin on
the power cord of the SA1532z or
any other component. This is very
dangerous.

SERVICE INFORMATION
Warranty Service
Poor bass performance
•
Check the polarity of the connections between the
mixer and the loudspeakers. You may have your
positive and negative connections reversed at one
end of one cable, causing one loudspeaker to be
out-of-phase.
Details concerning warranty service are spelled out
on page 11 of this manual.
If you think your loudspeaker has a problem, please do
everything you can to confirm it before calling for service,
including reading through the following Troubleshooting
section. Doing so might save you from being deprived of
your Mackie loudspeaker.
Poor sound
•
Is it loud and distorted? Make sure that you’re not
overdriving a stage in the signal chain. Verify that
all level controls are set properly.
Of all Mackie products returned for service (which is
hardly any at all), many are coded “CND” — Could Not
Duplicate— which usually means the problem lay some-
where else in the system. The following troubleshooting
tips may sound obvious, but here are some things you
can check:
•
Is the input connector plugged completely into the
jack? Be sure all connections are secure. It’s a good
idea to periodically clean all electrical connections
with a non-lubricating electrical contact cleaner.
Troubleshooting
Noise
•
Make sure all connections to the active loudspeak-
ers are good and sound.
No power
•
Make sure none of the signal cables are routed near
AC cables, power transformers, or other EMI-induc-
ing devices.
•
•
•
Our favorite question: Is it plugged in? Make sure
the AC outlet is live (check with a tester or lamp).
Our next favorite question: Is the POWER switch
on? If not, try turning it on.
•
Is there a light dimmer or other SCR-based device
on the same AC circuit as the SA1532z? Use an AC
line filter or plug the SA1532z into a different AC
circuit.
Is the POWER LED on the rear panel glowing
green? If not, make sure the AC outlet is live. If so,
refer to “No sound” below.
•
The internal AC line fuse may be blown. This is not
a user serviceable part. If you suspect the AC line
fuse is blown, please see the "Repair" section next.
Hum
•
Try disconnecting the cable connected to the MAIN
INPUT jack. If the noise disappears, it could be
a “ground loop,” rather than a problem with the
SA1532z. Try some of the following troubleshooting
ideas:
No sound
•
Is the input level control for the input source
turned all the way down? Verify that all the volume
controls in the system are properly adjusted.
◊
Use balanced connections throughout your
system for the best noise rejection.
•
Is the signal source working (and making union
scale)? Make sure the connecting cables are in good
repair and securely connected at both ends. Make
sure the output volume (gain) control on the mixing
console is turned up sufficiently to drive the inputs of
the speaker.
◊
Whenever possible, plug all the audio equip-
ment’s linecords into outlets which share a common
ground. The distance between the outlets and the
common ground should be as short as possible.
•
•
Make sure the mixer does not have a Mute on or a
Processor loop engaged. If you find something like
this, make sure the volume/gain is turned down
before disengaging the offending switch.
Is the THERMAL indicator lit red on the rear panel?
Make sure there is at least six inches of free space
behind the SA1532z.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Mackie loudspeakers will provide many years of
reliable service if you follow these guidelines:
Avoid exposing the loudspeakers to
moisture. If they are set up out-
doors, be sure they are under cover
if you expect rain.
3. Keep this user’s manual and the detachable line-
cord. We don’t need them to repair the loudspeaker.
•
•
Avoid exposure to extreme cold (below freezing
temperatures). If you must operate the loud-
speakers in a cold environment, warm up the voice
coils slowly by sending a low-level signal through
them for about 15 minutes prior to high-power
operation.
4. Pack the loudspeaker in its original packaging,
including protective wrap, endcaps, and box. This
is VERY IMPORTANT. When you call for the Service
Request Number, please let Tech Support know if
you need new packaging. Mackie is not responsible

to anyone who may subsequently purchase this product
within the applicable warranty period. A copy of the
original sales receipt is required to obtain warranty repairs.
1. Call Mackie Technical Support at 800/898-3211,
7 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday (Pacific Time)
to get a Service Request Number. Products returned
without a Service Request Number will be refused.

not authorize any third party, including any dealer or
sales representative, to assume any liability on behalf of
LOUD Technologies or to make any warranty for LOUD
Technologies Inc.
2. Pack the product in its original shipping carton. Also
include a note explaining exactly how to duplicate the
problem, a copy of the sales receipt with price and date
showing, and your return street address (no P.O. boxes
or route numbers, please!). If we cannot duplicate the
problem or establish the starting date of your Limited
Warranty, we may, at our option, charge for service time.
K. THE WARRANTY GIVEN ON THIS PAGE IS THE SOLE
WARRANTY GIVEN BY LOUD TECHNOLOGIES INC.
AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS
AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED IN DURATION TO FIVE
YEARS FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE

LOUD TECHNOLOGIES INC. SHALL HAVE NO FURTHER
WARRANTY OBLIGATION OF ANY KIND. LOUD
TECHNOLOGIES INC. SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
THAT MAY RESULT FROM ANY DEFECT IN THE MACKIE
PRODUCT OR ANY WARRANTY CLAIM. Some states do
not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental, special,
or consequential damages or a limitation on how long
warranties last, so some of the above limitations and
exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty provides
specific legal rights and you may have other rights which
vary from state to state.
3. Ship the product in its original shipping carton,
freight prepaid to the authorized service center. The

any products that may be the subject of any warranty
claims before repair or replacement is carried out. LOUD
Technologies may, at our option, require proof of the
original date of purchase in the form of a dated copy
of the original dealer’s invoice or sales receipt. Final
determination of warranty coverage lies solely with LOUD
Technologies.
