A male XLR Thru jack is provided for daisy-chaining the 
signal to additional SA1530z cabinets.

Three built-in power amplifiers provide 100 watts rms 

each for the mid-frequency and high-frequency drivers, 
and 1100 watts rms for the low-frequency driver. The 
amplifier modules sit on a mammoth aluminum heatsink 
that eliminates the need for fans. A tremendous benefit 
of having the amplifiers located within the loudspeaker 
cabinet is that the SA1530z functions as a system, opti-
mizing acoustic, electronic, and mechanical designs to 
achieve the highest level of performance and value.

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

 

• Power ON indicator

 

• 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.

Thank you for choosing Mackie’s active sound reinforce-

ment loudspeaker systems.

The SA1530z is a high-efficiency, extreme output, 

horn-loaded, 3-way, wide-dispersion, active sound 
reinforcement system. It features a one-piece 90º x 40º 
horn, which includes both the mid- and high-frequency 
sections in a proprietary optimized Wavefront™ design. 
Unlike typical mid/high horn designs, the high-frequency 
section is positioned to fire down into the 6-inch mid-
range’s dispersion pattern. This creates a focused, single 
wave front with excellent phase and power response 
characteristics. The resulting 90º x 40º dispersion pat-
tern provides a very open, natural sound at extreme 
output levels.

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 a high-output 15-inch 
woofer with a 4-inch high-temperature voice coil.

Connecting and setting up the SA1530z is a breeze. It 

accepts a line-level signal via a female XLR input jack.
