USA - Mackie has entered the lightweight power amplifier category with its new FRS Series - the FRS-1300, FRS-1700, and the FRS-2800. FRS Series amplifiers combine Mackie's Fast Recovery circuitry with a modern switching power supply for exceptional sound and performance in portable applications, says the company.

"In true Mackie fashion, the FRS Series amps combine clean power and performance in a lightweight design," says Mackie product manager, Greg Young. "Fast Recovery means your sound stays clean, even when pushing them to their limits. These amps are perfect for the rig on-the-go, and give you more power for your dollar- so they won't break your back or your wallet."

The FRS Series include a high-resolution, six segment LED meter per channel, defeatable clip limiter, subsonic filter, and on-board protection circuitry (short, under-impedance, over-current and thermal). The FRS Series includes three models - the FRS-1300, FRS-1700 and FRS-2800 with rated output of 1300W, 1660W and 2800W respectively at 4 Ohms bridged.
