Mackie C200 10-Inch 2-Way 350W Passive PA Loudspeaker

Mackie C200: Precision Passive Sound in a Compact 10-Inch Cabinet

The Mackie C200 is a 10-inch two-way passive PA loudspeaker that pairs a high-efficiency 10-inch woofer with a 1.4-inch titanium compression driver to deliver 118 dB of peak output from a compact, pole-mountable trapezoidal cabinet. As the passive counterpart to Mackie's acclaimed SRM350, it puts studio-grade transducers and a precision crossover into an amp-driven package that any powered rig can feed. For the working sound provider who already owns amplifiers and wants clean, room-filling coverage without added weight, the C200 is the speaker that simply gets out of the way and lets the mix speak.

A 10-Inch Woofer and Titanium Driver Working as One

At the heart of the C200 is a custom high-efficiency 10-inch woofer built on a 2-inch voice coil that runs cooler under sustained power, sustaining tight low-mid punch through a long night without thermal compression. Above it, a 1.4-inch heat-treated titanium compression driver reproduces highs and upper mids with crisp detail, mounted on an exponential high-frequency waveguide that launches those frequencies evenly into the room. The two transducers are voiced to blend seamlessly through a low-impedance compensated crossover, so vocals, guitars, and program music arrive coherent from front row to back wall.

Wide, Even Coverage From a Constant-Directivity Waveguide

The C200's waveguide produces a wide 90-degree by 80-degree dispersion pattern that spreads sound broadly across an audience rather than beaming it down a narrow aisle. That coverage matters in real rooms: a single C200 on a pole can cover a small club, a house of worship side-fill, or a corporate presentation without leaving dead zones at the edges of the seating. Because the horn keeps its pattern consistent across frequencies, tonal balance stays uniform no matter where a listener stands.

Passive by Design, Flexible by Nature

As a passive loudspeaker, the C200 carries no onboard amplifier - it takes its power from an external amp through a Speakon-style connector or a 1/4-inch TS jack, both wired in parallel for easy daisy-chaining. Its 8-ohm impedance and 200-watt RMS (500-watt peak) power handling make it an easy match for most professional power amps, and built-in transducer protection guards the drivers when the system is pushed hard. For engineers standardizing on a central amp rack, that passive design keeps stage weight down and puts amplification where it can be cooled, serviced, and swapped with ease.

Built to Mount, Fly, and Tour

Housed in a rugged die-cast composite enclosure, the C200 is engineered to survive the road while staying light enough to lift onto a speaker pole single-handed. The trapezoidal cabinet doubles as a stage floor monitor when laid on its side, and integrated hardware lets you pole-mount, tilt, or fly the box to aim coverage exactly where the room needs it. One versatile enclosure covers mains, monitors, and fills, so a small inventory of C200s can reconfigure to fit almost any gig.

Who the C200 Is For

Mobile DJs, small bands, houses of worship, schools, and AV installers who run their own amplifiers reach for the C200 when they want SRM-grade sound in a passive, budget-conscious box. Whether it is throwing vocals over a coffee-house crowd, filling a fellowship hall, or serving as a wedge at a monitor position, the C200 delivers consistent, professional coverage that punches well above its compact footprint.
