nent hearing loss. Individuals  
vary considerably in suscepti-  
bility to noise-induced hearing  
loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if  
exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of  
time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and  
Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the per-  
missible noise level exposures shown in this chart.  
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of  
these permissible limits could result in some hearing  
loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure  
to high sound-pressure levels, it is recommended that  
all persons exposed to equipment capable of produc-  
ing these levels use hearing protectors while this unit  
is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear ca-  
nals or over the ears must be worn when operating this  
amplification system in order to prevent a permanent  
hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set  
forth here.

INTRODUCTION  
combination of the Mackie M•1400i and C300z. A Phase  
switch gives you the option of reversing the polarity of  
the signal to the subwoofer by 180º. A Subwoofer Level  
control allows you to adjust the balance between the sub-  
woofer and the full-range speakers.  
The built-in amplifier produces 800 watts of continu-  
ous power. The amplifier module sits on a heatsink that  
eliminates the need for fans, dramatically extending  
life expectancy, and eliminating maintenance cycles. A  
tremendous benefit of having the amplifier located within  
the subwoofer cabinet is that the SWA1801z functions as a  
system, optimizing acoustic, electronic, and mechanical  
designs to achieve the highest level of performance and  
value.  
Thank you for choosing Mackie’s active sound re-  
inforcement speaker systems.  
The SWA1801z is a high-output active subwoofer  
system. It features a high-precision 18" transducer  
combined with application-specific amplifier tech-  
nology. The system is composed of a single, compact  
subwoofer cabinet with built-in control and amplifier  
electronics.  
Connecting and setting up the SWA1801z is a  
breeze. It accepts a stereo or mono line-level signal  
via female XLR input jacks. Male XLR Thru jacks are  
provided for daisy-chaining the signal to additional  
SWA1801z cabinets. The built-in crossover separates  
the low frequencies from the high frequencies, and  
routes the high frequencies to the male XLR high-pass  
output jacks. Connect these to the inputs of full-range  
active speakers such as the Mackie SA1521z, or to an  
amplifier powering a pair of passive speakers such as a  
The cabinet is constructed with 15 mm thick multi-  
layered birch plywood. Carrying handles are integrated  
into each side for easy loading, and casters are attached  
to the rear for easy transport.

REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION  
POWER Switch  
POWER Indicator  
Use this switch to turn the SWA1801z on and  
off. Make sure the signal source’s level control is  
turned down before you turn it on.  
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.  
AC Receptacle  
This is where you connect the AC linecord to  
provide AC power to the SWA1801z’s built-in pow-  
er amplifiers. Plug the linecord into an AC socket  
properly configured for your particular model.  
FULL RANGE INPUT  
These are female XLR-type connectors that  
accept a balanced line-level signal from a mixing  
console or other signal source.  
LIMIT Indicator  
The SWA1801z has a built-in limiter that pre-  
vents the amplifier outputs from overdriving the  
transducers. The LIMIT indicator lights when the  
limiter is activated. It’s okay for the LIMIT indica-  
tor to blink occasionally, but if it blinks frequently  
or lights continuously, turn down the level control  
THRU (FULL RANGE OUTPUT)  
These are male XLR-type connectors that pro-  
duce exactly the same signal that is connected  
to the FULL RANGE INPUT jack. Use it to daisy-  
chain several SWA1801z's together off the same  
signal source.  
until the LIMIT indicator only blinks occasionally.  
SIGNAL Present Indicator  
HIGH PASS (MID/HIGH FREQ) OUTPUT  
This LED illuminates whenever there is a  
signal present at the FULL RANGE INPUT con-  
nector on the rear panel.  
These are male XLR-type connectors that  
produce the frequencies above 120Hz. Connect  
these to a pair of full-range active speakers or to  
an amplifer/passive speaker combination. The  
SWA1801z reproduces the frequencies below  
120Hz.  
THERMAL Indicator  
The SWA1801z has a thermal protection  
circuit that monitors the internal temperature  
of the amplifiers and heatsink. If the internal  
temperature should exceed a safe operating level,  
this indicator lights and the signal is muted to al-  
low the amplifier to cool. When the temperature  
cools to a safe level once again, the thermal pro-  
tection circuit deactivates and normal operation  
resumes.  
Note: Activation of the thermal protection cir-  
cuit is an indication that you should take steps to  
avoid continued thermal problems. See “Thermal  
Considerations” on page 7.  
SUBWOOFER LEVEL Control  
This adjusts the subwoofer level. The center  
detent position provides 15 dB of headroom with  
a nominal +4 dBu input signal. Use this as a  
starting point for setting the balance between the  
subwoofer and the main speakers.  
PHASE  
This switch reverses the polarity of the sub-  
woofer output. Depending on the placement of  
the SWA1801z subwoofer relative to the full-range  
speakers, you may get a better low-frequency re-  
sponse in the room if you reverse the polarity of the  
subwoofer’s signal. Experiment with this switch to  
determine which position sounds best.

CONNECTIONS  
The SWA1801z has two female XLR inputs that Simply plug the signal source (i.e., mixer output)  
accept a balanced line-level signal. When connect-  
ing a balanced signal, be sure it’s wired per AES  
(Audio Engineering Society) standards:  
into the first speaker’s FULL RANGE INPUT  
jacks, and patch that speaker’s THRU jacks to  
the next speaker’s INPUT jacks, and so on, daisy-  
chaining multiple speakers.  
XLR  
The THRU jack is wired straight from the  
FULL RANGE INPUT connector — there is no  
electronic circuitry between — so the signal  
coming out of the THRU jack is exactly the same  
as the signal going in.  
Hot (+)  
Cold (–)  
Pin 2  
Pin 3  
Pin 1  
Shield (Ground)  
The HIGH PASS OUTPUT jacks provide a  
line-level signal of the frequencies above 120Hz  
that you connect to a pair of active speakers (or  
to a stereo amplifier powering a pair of passive  
speakers).  
PLACEMENT  
The SWA1801z subwoofer is designed to sit on  
the floor. A socket is provided on the top of the  
SWA1801z for mounting the Mackie SA1521z or  
SRM450 active speakers. Use the optional Mackie  
speaker mounting pole (SPM100) to mount them  
on the SWA1801z (see Hookup Diagram on page  
5).  
Balanced XLR Connectors  
If connecting an unbalanced signal to the  
SWA1801z balanced input, be sure that the signal  
high (hot) connection is wired to Pin 2 and the  
unbalanced ground connection is wired to the  
low and the ground connections of the balanced  
input (Pins 3 and 1). If there are ground-loop  
problems, try connecting the unbalanced ground  
connection only to the input low connection (Pin  
3), and leaving the input ground connection dis-  
connected.  
There are also four male XLR connectors la-  
beled THRU (FULL RANGE OUTPUT) and HIGH  
PASS (MID/HIGH FREQ) OUTPUT. These are  
also wired according to the AES standard.  
The THRU output connectors allow you to  
connect more than one SWA1801z to your system.  
As with any powered components, protect the  
SWA1801z from exposure to moisture. If you are  
setting them up outdoors, make sure they are un-  
der cover if you expect rain.  
WARNING: The cabinet  
has no rigging points and  
is not suitable for rigging.  
NEVER attempt to sus-  
pend the SWA1801z by its  
handles.

AC POWER  
THERMAL  
Be sure the SWA1801z 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 specified 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 amperage for all the components con-  
nected to it.  
CONSIDERATIONS  
The SWA1801z has a powerful 800 watt am-  
plifier built-in. 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.  
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 ade-  
quate airspace behind the loudspeaker. When you  
position the SWA1801z, we recommend leaving at  
least six inches of air space behind it.  
In the unlikely event of the amplifier over-  
heating, a built-in thermal switch will activate,  
which mutes the signal. When the amplifier has  
cooled down to a safe operating temperature, the  
thermal switch resets itself, and the SWA1801z  
resumes normal operation.  
We recommend that a stiff (robust) supply of  
AC power be used because the amplifiers place  
high current 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 ampli-  
fiers.  
If the thermal switch activates frequently, try  
turning down the level control a notch or two on  
the mixing console (or other signal source) or  
on the subwoofer itself to avoid overheating the  
amplifiers.  
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 across the heatsink panel.  
Never remove the ground  
pin on the power cord of  
the SWA1801z or any other  
component. This is very dan-  
gerous.

SERVICE INFORMATION  
If you think your Mackie product has a  
problem, please check out the following trouble-  
shooting tips and do your best to confirm the  
problem. Visit the Support section of our website  
lots of useful information such as FAQs, docu-  
mentation, and user forums. You may find the  
answer to the problem without having to send  
your Mackie product away.:  
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.  
Try switching the PHASE switch on the rear  
panel. This affects the polarity between the  
full-range speakers and the SWA1801z and  
may improve the low-frequency response.  
Troubleshooting  
Poor sound  
No power  
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.  
Our favorite question: Is it plugged in? Make  
sure the AC outlet is live (check with a tester  
or lamp).  
Is the input connector plugged completely  
into the jack? Be sure all connections are se-  
cure. It’s a good idea to periodically clean all  
electrical connections with a non-lubricating  
electrical contact cleaner.  
Our next favorite question: Is the POWER  
switch on? If not, try turning it on.  
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” next.  
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 on page 9.  
Noise  
Make sure all connections to the active loud-  
speakers are good and sound.  
Make sure none of the signal cables are  
routed near AC cables, power transformers,  
or other EMI-inducing devices.  
No sound  
Is the input LEVEL control for the input  
Is there a light dimmer or other SCR-  
based device on the same AC circuit as the  
SWA1801z? Use an AC line filter or plug the  
SWA1801z into a different AC circuit.  
source or the subwoofer turned all the way  
down? Verify that all the volume controls in  
the system are properly adjusted.  
Is the signal source working (and making  
union scale)? Make sure the connecting  
cables are in good repair and securely con-  
nected 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.  
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 protection circuit activated?  
Make sure there is at least six inches of free  
space behind the SWA1801z.  
Hum  
Try disconnecting the cable connected to the  
INPUT jack. If the noise disappears, it could  
be a “ground loop,” rather than a problem  
with the SWA1801z. Try some of the following  
troubleshooting ideas:  
Use balanced connections throughout your  
system for the best noise rejection.  
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.
