Mackie is proud to introduce their new FRS Series of amplifiers at Musikmesse. Consisting of the FRS-1300, FRS-1700, and FRS-2800 [and delivering 1300, 1660, and 2800 Watts respectively at 4-ohms bridged], Mackie claims the series is so lightweight that "your rockin' octogenarian granny can load it in." Frankly, I think you should take Mackie's advice and make your own grandmother load equipment for you. She could probably use the exercise.

The FRS amps all feature the Fast Recovery circuitry which provides clean sound without distortion -- even when clipping. Also, resonant switching power supplies make for super efficiency and aid the aforementioned light weight. Solid construction and attention to protection circuitry make these bad boys durable for road hazards.

Fast Features:

• Fast Recovery design for clean, undistorted sound
• Ultra-light, ultra-quiet, ultra-efficient switching power supply
• Three powerful models -- FRS-1300, FRS-1700 & FRS-2800
• Short, under-impedance, over-current and thermal protection
• Robust, impact-resistant, all-steel 2U rackmount chassis
• FRS WEIGHTS:
• FRS-1300: 21 lbs.
• FRS-1700: 21.5 lbs.
• FRS-2800: 22 lbs.
