CONNECTIONS The C200 has 1/4˝ TS and Speakon™style INPUT and THRU connectors. The connectors are wired in parallel, so use only one of the input connectors (either 1/4˝ TS or Speakon-style).
Room Acoustics The C200 loudspeakers are designed to sound as neutral as possible; that is, to reproduce the input signal as accurately as possible, monitoring the audio signal rather than changing it. Room acoustics play a crucial role in the overall performance of a sound system. However, the wide high-frequency dispersion of the C200 helps to minimize the problems that typically arise.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Mackie loudspeakers will provide many years of reliable service if you follow these simple guidelines: • Avoid exposing the loudspeakers to moisture. If they are set up outdoors, be sure they are under cover if you expect rain. • Avoid exposure to extreme cold (below freezing temperatures). If you must operate the loudspeakers in a cold environment, warm up the voice coils slowly by sending a low-level signal through them for about 15 minutes prior to highpower operation.
