FRS-1700
Overview

FRS / FRX Series power amplifiers feature legendary Fast Recovery™ circuitry for clean, undistorted sound and the ultimate in punch and clarity—even at clipping. “Built-Like-A-Tank” construction and Mackie reliability mean these amps will withstand the rigors of the road, and perform flawlessly during gigs.

FEATURES

FAST RECOVERY
FRS / FRX amps feature sophisticated Fast Recovery circuitry for the cleanest sound available. At Mackie, we know that people can often run their amps right up to clipping levels, so we designed our amps to handle these kinds of real-world conditions. What we came up with is circuitry that allows the FRS amps to deliver ultimate power, without sacrificing sound quality.

EFFICIENT, LIGHTWEIGHT POWER SUPPLY
The FRS power supply employs a “soft” switching design that ensures that when the transistors switch, very little heat or errant energy is generated, so the FRS amps run quiet as a mouse, and cool as a cucumber all while being much more compact and weighing considerably less than a conventional linear supply, helping make our FRS amps super lightweight and ultra-portable.

COMPLETE PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
FRS / FRX amps come with complete system protection. Built into every amplifier is a defeatable clip limiter, a subsonic filter and short, under-impedance, over-current and thermal protection. The power supply also includes real-time monitoring circuitry that keeps track of operating conditions in order to prevent over load failure.
