  El_Becko's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Made in China to flee"

  Overall Opinion

  Having practiced with the first versions happiness I can only put a huge red card for Mackie and misled many musicians who have rushed for models made in china: it is zero at zero, hyper-aggressive, unreliable and it hangs like the speakers to 150 euros. Value for money close to zero.
  
  
  
  on the other hand, if you are still models go for italy: with boxes and with a good treatment of façade (eq and dynamics) you will believe in all the world that are facing a big s system.
  
  
  
  but what took them ?????

  pdgk's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Mackie reliability of Dgout no !!!!!!!!!!"

  Overall Opinion

  I use them for 2 years, I have 4 they are made in china. I can not compare to Made in Italy because I have never cost the latter. my ear musicians are correct in that price range -500. I have bought from friends who already used them long ago and who meets silent and after some costs I left the top. I have no other cost models.
  
  I found them all over, a little heavy, possibility to set height thanks to not screw intgr. the correct sound bass treble presents fairly specific on but a bit of time crillard tps, they are associated rcf705as a box but there is a hole in Frequencies between.
  
  I had 1 first concern on a speaker whose sound is cut off after a minute or two she returns home suffering 2 mackie or electronic circuit Has Completely changed (under warranty) and a 2nd pregnant just simply stops as LATEST week, it turns even more, after you silent verifies the fuse and check that nothing good well I did cram'm in trouble because the guaranteed stops as just 2 months ago. I did rpar there was for 105 for a component on the PSU that is not powerful enough to heat and power Crame ...
  
  Do not tell me it's not by chance, out of 4 speakers 2 Merd Obviously I have no gear from Rasht Mackie is also why my box is an rcf and not a mackie.
  
  I had to put a little more and buy rcf I'm green!.

  Jmm061048's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  I own them for 8 months
  
  I have also LD 152A systems that are much better and a pair of opera DB 405 which are both superior sound and does not heat up after 4 hours
  
  The Mackies are screaming and fragile. for that price there are better on the other hand, RCF, dB Technologies, LD systems.
  
  They were made for parallel with behringer for about 120 people and the behringer sounded better and did not heat them, is to say
  
  Nevermore these mackie
  
  For cons, I have the Mackie mixer and is the ultimate in precision, sound, durability, usability

  pvesco's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " very interesting"

  Overall Opinion

  Tested initially on loan for a few nights, outside inside, DJ or small band PA, 4 made in Italy. I usually use JBL MP412 and a pair of RCF ART 310. The Mackie is very easy to use on small field and sound good. Good performance, sharp a little dry and a little short in the extreme treble. Very common in acute medium, low for a very respectable 30 cm. I like this: Compared to my and my JBL RCF, it allowed me to settle quickly on small sound systems without needing a subwoofer. They sound good in small and medium-range field (if you're pressed for time to settle, you plug the microphones and the table, we leave everything to zero and it sounds forth without equalization ...). They can achieve interesting levels for proper sound quality. They work well with all the boxes or RCF Mackie (especially with SRS 1500), higher only when a range is requested. I have used in comparing a pair of RCF ART 325A, they are very close in power and sound quality, even for low (despite the 38 cm of the FCR). In return they are also good but the use of an equalizer is necessary to make them warm. DJ in use for a small audience til about 100 people, as it is far from using the full power, we can put some bass without fear of saturation and give a good sound (at full capacity and with the same treatment, I think it will be more careful) To know the pros who use them often and in numbers, I can say that the components are solid, electronics is doing its job and protects Hps (good electronic and thermal protection). Uncommon to have grilled boomers unless intensive use of broadband and tweeters grilled in fault conditions (Larsen supported). Electronic failures are rare (subject to the new Made in China ...), which reassures when buying secondhand. As a positive quality and convenience of acessories Mackie (covers, trolley). Carrying handles are good and the controls and connections protected. Easy to use in any case for who knows how to use an equalizer (I think this opinion is shared by two opinions below). You just have to know them a little and adjust the settings. What I dislike: Empillage périeux Installation, stability. Brittle plastics (they mark easily, covers almost indispensable for transport, attention to the radiators to the artery), it is better to provide a piece of carpet if used in return. The sound is less precise and accurate than my JBL sound system in front (I've also compared with 4726 old, my JBL are better). They are more dificiles to master in proximity or in return ... If used at full capacity, we must listen and adjust the setting of acute medium according to the distance and add a bit extreme treble (that's my taste anyway). Radiators are too exposed to the rear. They are also a bit heavy for the template.
  
  Exellent value for money used. These are often good deals (especially made in Italy at its best and most reliable electronic). Still, boomers are absolutely a controller (state of the suspensions) when buying (or price change remembrannage Hp expensive ...). The use of broadband high power can cause premature wear.
  
  The price performance ratio is a lot of common uses for a budjet of 600/700Euros ... I can not really tell you about the new one (from my experience) but the new series are being done in their small reputation. The current models made in China seem to close in sound quality but a tone below the made in Italy (same basic qualities and faults). I have not listened to the new V series against whom we spoke well.
  
  Very interesting experience because I was entrusted them for a while, and I had time to test them extensively and in various places. They are surprisingly dynamic and their sound quality especially for voice. Buy? That's it I found two pairs of opportunity (one in France and Italy) since I submitted my first review in 2009 and I'm really not disappointed.

  Overall Opinion

  I 'm not propritre but I have had the opportunity to used in 4 with two sub swa 1501, it works fine but the sound is not warm enough for my taste, maybe because " would have to have 4 sub. I can find a screaming that you push a can.
  
  The whole is more than satisfactory in all. I is never cost the Chinese version of the product.

  Pascualito78's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  Rather surprised
  
  lack a bit of aigu.son not very hot but not too bad in precision for the price
  
  not bad for a disco in groupe.essayé c not too bad with the swa 1501
  
  with the 1501 you can use the 450 filtered or full band
  
  At this time we get a good result with a cut head 75 hertz.la remains dynamic
  
  and as the box goes up to 120 hertz is the whole round
  
  1 swa 1501 2 x SRM 450 when c is small or a second chamber to push more
  
  in any case c is not bad at all breathless and not aggressive

  Jez''s review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  I bought a pair made in china 2 years ago and contrary to what some may say, it works hard and is indestructible.
  
  Pushed up to broadband and with at least 6 dB in the bass, it does not decrease even after 48, 72 or 96 hours.
  
  I have even one who has fallen from 1.50 meters and there is not a problem of great stuff.
  
  My only complaint: a major a bit short, but after EQ is all just falls into place and go.
  
  Much better stuff in my opinion that many of powered speakers that are sold on the market.

  djefk's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  Undefined users for the past two years or so, I use them in return DJ, or diffusion of benefits for 50 people max. ; Is rare, but it avoids over-sound to.
  
  
  
  The quality is good, the reliability as well.
  
  I think the quality / price / good versatility.
  
  
  
  Small detail all the same, the radiator heats back when the speaker is lying, but it's a detail, better safe than sorry ...

  Overall Opinion

  How long have you use it?
  
  
  
  2 weeks
  
  
  
  - What is the particular feature you like best and least?
  
  
  
  the sound is clean and it's almost like the monitor.
  
  I used the mackie monitor and it is also pushing for a listen in the studio.
  
  
  
  - Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
  
  
  
  I tried the FBT and DB and that's not the same quality.
  
  I also tried the HK and I think its a dirty (paper technique gives thd10% against 0.03).
  
  
  
  How do you report qualitprix?
  
  
  
  correct.
  
  
  
  - With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
  
  
  
  It's early to say .. but I also have the mackie mixer since 1995 and is still (there is only one exit bruiteuse).

  nayi777's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  I am an amateur in his, but big ears!
  
  - How long have you use it?
  
  Yes! personally for some months, but more than 4 years with friends
  
  - What is so special that you like most and least?
  
  Sound quality is portable and practical with its large
  
  - Have you tried many other models before buying it?
  
  Like I said above for over 4 years. So I know the models to the United States model CHINA.
  
  - How would you rate the quality / price?
  
  Currently I have made in China and now the Chinese machines to scare everyone as "bird flu". But the machine "Mackie" provides stability and sound quality as there are more than 4 years since I listened, I do not see the difference. And I am fortunate to have listened version Avian flu lol ... So the price € 650 and € 695 here and thus I take this opportunity and I work well with it!. The value for money today is excellent. We must not mix components and component-Chinese-Mackie. Warning! I am not a Pro-Mackie (it does not give me a penny), I say what I think and what I experienced and as I am not rich it is normal that I think the poor like me who seeks a big sound against a small price, because listening to my I can not hear the difference made in the United States or made in Italy with RFC and HP made in China with HP or HP GARBAGE CAN.
  
  - With experience, you do again this choice? ..
  
  My experiments with models of Mackie United States to China are the same sounds and my choices are the big sound with low prices and not the big prize with fewer big sound!
