3 Amplifiers The amplifier is the heart of any car audio system, the power engine which gives energy to the loudspeakers at its command. Yet it is also the all-controlling brain. Accurate amplification opens the window on a world of unlimited sound and Macrom models are certainly both accurate and powerful. Macrom presents four different series, each with very specific features, enabling select audiophiles to choose the one which suits their taste and pocket. SYNTHESIS Every aspect of design and performance is at the highest level. The finest sounding car hi-fi you are likely to find. An undisputed reference for those who want the very best of the best. (See pages 6 & 7). SYNTECH Exceptional sound quality and dynamics, a myriad of features and revolutionary hi-tech design re-creates music with dramatic realism. (See pages 8 & 9). SYNPOWER The same design concepts and technology, incredible dynamic impact and sound character as the Syntech series. Developed and manufactured to make the emotional experience of car audio accessible to the younger generation. (See pages 10 & 11). FOTO ICP - Milano SYNBASIC Superior sound, features and flexibility. This entry-level range is strong enough to compete with anything else in this section of the market. Incredible value for the first step into Macrom sound. (See pages 12 & 14). ACTIVE X-OVERS (See page 15).

9 Loudspeak ers If the amplifier is the heart and brain, then loudspeakers are like the legs, arms and body which move in step with the music at their command. The more faithful and accurate the reaction, the finer and more realistic the sound. Good loudspeakers literally bring music to life: with subtlety, power and definition. Macrom s loudspeaker research and development is a continuous pursuit of the most accurate sounds,whether playing a rock band, solo guitar or orchestral concert. Although music is an emotional and intangible element, this is achieved through the painstaking application of new technologies, continual testing of new material and ideas.

10 COMBINABLE SEPARATES ECS TECHNOLOGY: IT S A COMPO AND AN INTEGRATED SPEAKER The tweeter is easily removable from the centre of the woofer to make a 2-way compo system. TWEETER ADJUSTMENT JUST BY TURNING IT IN ITS SUPPORT You can adjust the tweeter to flat in phase, flat out of phase, attenuated in phase, attenuated out of phase. You just need two seconds to change from one position to the other without moving from your seat. CMP CONE (COMPOSITE METALISED PAPER) The cone is coated with metallic dust for better rigidity. This new cone has a great sound. 12 DB PASSIVE CROSSOVER INCORPORATED IN THE BACK OF THE WOOFER No need to find a place for the crossover box, this simple arrangement helps you to save time MM NEODYMIUM SOFT LINEN DOME TWEETER Large diameter for improved response and greater power.

11 SYSTEMS CAR FILTER These small assorted pieces of foam are most important for car audio applications. When the speaker is playing at low volumes, the filter remains inactive, the cone is free, micro information and details are there. When the speaker moves more actively this filter begins to block the air under the dome creating internal pressure which has the effect of controlling the speaker like an enclosure. This technology is very important for car audio systems where it is almost impossible to achieve a good enclosure in the door SE 2.40 Power handling 90 W 50-25,000 Hz Sensitivity (1W/1M) 89 db Woofer Ø 10 cm (4 ) Tweeter Ø 43 mm(1 3/4 ) Crossover SE series with tweeter options Dedicated Crossover: khz cutting point with graduated slope (6 to 12 db) - Inductance compensation network - High quality capacitor in series with the tweeter SE 2.50 Power handling 120 W 45-25,000 Hz Sensitivity (1W/1M) 90 db Woofer Ø 13 cm (5 ) Tweeter Ø 43 mm (1 3/4 ) Crossover SE series with tweeter options SE 2.60 Power handling 150 W 45-25,000 Hz Sensitivity (1W/1M) 91 db Woofer Ø 16/16.5 cm (6 1/4 ) Tweeter Ø 43 mm (1 3/4 ) Crossover SE series with tweeter options panels. 20 CONES MACROM s high end speakers use polypropylene cones which are more resistant to water and thermal variations. This results in better reliability. The cone and the dome are combined in a single unit, they are perfectly sealed so that no losses occur when the car filter is active. TWEETERS MACROM tweeters are renowned as being among the best tweeters in the world. Most systems use very large 28 mm voice coils which means you can put more wire in the air gap to obtain more power and more transient response. The resonant frequency goes as low as 900Hz. NEODYMIUM MAGNETS FOR THE WOOFERS Using neodymium enables dimensions to be reduced significantly. Thanks to their high magnetic flux generating capability it is possible to produce small size speakers which have exceptional performance. GIANT VOICE COIL WITH INTERNAL MAGNETS Large voice coils allow us to drive very flat cones avoiding cone breakage. Flat cones are the best for open sound and good, realistic bass frequencies. The hexatech aluminium voice coil makes the moving mass lighter compared to the same size coil in copper. This means a higher transient response and high power. 21

BI-WIRING Bi-wiring means feeding the tweeter and the woofer separate signals for more faithful reproduction and another first for the house of MACROM. The Bi-wiring option allows these speakers to be bi-amplified or used with an external passive crossover specifically designed to suit the car in question. DOUBLE HORN The I 2.50 and I 2.60 are supplied with a pair of additional open horns which can be used to replace the standard horn to change the angle of dispersion of the high and mid-high frequencies. The horns are screwed down so changing them is a simple operation. And these, together with the extraordinary acoustic results, are only some of the features which earned the I series I 2.60 ECAP s Best Product of the Year 1996 and the I series I 2.50 the Las Vegas WCES 1997 Innovation Award. MACROM created two different magnet circuits incorporated in a single magnet system to drive both the woofer and tweeter which, mounted concentrically, represent a true pointsource speaker. The soft dome tweeter s 28 mm (1 1/8 ) diameter voice coil is situated inside the magnet system whereas the 54 mm (2 1/4 ) voice coil which drives the mid-bass frequencies is situated outside the magnet system. The tweeter is fitted with a rear chamber inside the woofer s magnet circuit which allows faithful reproduction of even the lowest range of the medium frequencies by eliminating disturbing hollow sounds. The original design of the tweeter allows phase integration between the two units. Another unusual feature of the I series is the exceptional off-axis dispersion, proven by laboratories all over the world, which allows the best acoustic results even at 60 angles.

Its oval shape however, usually makes the cone acoustically unbalanced. In designing these 2-way 6x9 units MACROM has managed to satisfy the demand for 6x9 units while making minimum compromises regarding acoustic results. In fact, these units are characterised by deep bass and clear vocals. For particularly complex systems, the bi-wiring option enables external passive crossovers to be adopted to modify the crossing point between the two units.

16 TWEETERS AND MIDRANGE Like all MACROM products these speakers are based upon a sophisticated project concept. An exclusive design characterises these outstanding compact tweeters which incorporate an acoustic lens with the dual function of protecting the dome and achieving an excellent off-axis frequency response. Thanks to MACROM s high technology and the amazing 28 mm diameter hand-processed dome, a resonant frequency of below 900 Hz has been obtained. This low resonant frequency allows excellent 2-way systems to be produced where the use of a midrange is not possible or can make a sweeter and more harmonic crossing point between the midrange and tweeter in a 3-way system. These tweeters also boast high power handling, liquid cooling and a broad frequency response. They are all supplied with a new kit of accessories which cover all installation requirements S A reference tweeter for car hi-fi systems. A high flux triple magnet system, an incredibly rigid, hand-processed silk dome and a double chamber for adequate venting result in extremely low resonant frequencies (700 Hz!), extraordinary power handling and absolutely unbeatable clarity.

In fact, these are the most fundamental frequencies for the majority of musical instruments and it is therefore important to use components capable of reproducing them perfectly. MACROM s is the first midrange to incorporate a revolutionary magnet system consisting of four neodymium segments which pilots the 54 mm diameter voice coil obtaining results that would require an absurdly large traditional magnet. The plastic body eliminates any dispersion of magnetic flux and reduces the weight of the unit even further. Thanks to the extremely rigid dome driven by the 54 mm diameter voice coil, this speaker reproduces the midrange with such speed and transparency that an amazingly life-like sound is produced. The extremely low resonance allows crossover points from 800 Hz and a total lack of cone break-up allow 6 db per octave filters to be used. 31

17 CROSSOVERS MIDWOOFERS, CROSSOVERS AND GRILLES MACROM s objective of building a woofer with deep, full-bodied bass, an excellent transient response and increased power handling without mounting the woofer in a cabinet led to the development of the unique C.A.R. (Controlled Acoustic Resistance) turbo duct principle Triple Magnet Midwoofer Power handling 90 W 55-7,200 Hz Sensitivity (1W/1m) 88 db Resonant frequency 107 Hz C.A.R. filter Hexatech voice coil 54 mm (2 1/8 ) Installation diameter 9.4 cm Installation depth 49 mm Diameter 10 cm (4 ) The unusual low dispersion multi-magnet systems used for MACROM s midrange and woofers have rear vents equipped with acoustic filters (C.A.R. filters). The air pressure within the magnet system created by the cone movement is released through this duct, dampened by the C.A.R. device positioned inside which controls the speaker's acoustic resistance accordingly. This results in a more accurate bass and higher power handling without the need for additional rear loading. The final effect is close to that of a conventional cabinet hi-fi system, simply by mounting the speaker in the door panels or on a rear shelf Double Magnet Midwoofer Power handling 100 W 45-5,000 Hz Sensitivity (1W/1m) 88 db Resonant frequency 58 Hz C.A.R. filter Hexatech voice coil 75 mm (3 ) Installation diameter 11.8 cm Installation depth 47 mm Diameter 13 cm (5 ) MODEL way crossover 3-way crossover 2-way dividing with tweeter option filter Power handling 200 W 200 W 200 W Crossover point 5,000 Hz 800-5,000 Hz 400 Hz Slope/octave 12 db 12 db 12 db Combines with existing crossover to create a 3 way system - - Low-pass output below 400 Hz to mid-bass - - High Pass output (400 Hz up) to next crossover or Satellite - - Three tweeter options +3 db, 0 flat, -3 db - - ABS cabinet Gold-plated screw terminals 80x34x107 mm 80x34x107 mm 80x34x107 mm GRILLES MODEL Diameter B 10 cm (4 ) B 13 cm (5 ) B 16.5 cm (6 1/4 ) Double Magnet Midwoofer Power handling 120 W 45-5,000 Hz Sensitivity (1W/1m) 91 db Resonant frequency 80 Hz C.A.R. filter Hexatech voice coil 75 mm (3 ) Installation diameter 13.8 cm Installation depth 64 mm Diameter 16/16.5 cm (6 1/4 ) 33
