All user reviews for the Mackie SRM450

I use them for two years before I turned it on those of Behringer B300 and I test a lot of pregnant style Yamaha / bst ...

then in terms of finish, nothing to say! it's solid!
in terms of XLR connectors only! damage the jack that is also time! I had the shot once or I had to pair with 2 other forums but I could only jack! and bin damage; amuses you to do a cable! good but the XLR being the best connection! possible by coupling cons XLR
for adjustments and a gain (normal!), a self activating switch (mutes the sound when nothing comes out and gives it when it spits!) I personally used it but it might be useful! because it is one of their faults, they become very hot! So for long evenings infinissables it can be useful! , A high pass filter (75 hz) I used it because another of their defaults is to resent the low! of 12 inches is normal nothing wrong! so it can depoluer sound! , A switch for digging mediums (so it is like it or not! Me I find it not very useful! But it's good and it can serve! LEDs heating and peak at the back (too bad the engineers sound must be before it seems to me no? "bah the zicos be a sign behind him to do if the peak or heat is too high! and here for pimples! simple!
to my taste is missing two Bass / treble it is anyway!
opportunity to use them for lying back! they are almost all now but it was noted

Then there are two products; an Italian and a Chinese! we can know from the serial number! (A show on the internet!) Me is the Chinese! but ... it works anyway!

for value for money, nothing to say! one has for his money!
not too heavy but it's 12 inches it is a pity! of 15 would have been better made bass!
it remains a small but nice active speaker pampered especially for the heat! the sound is not bad when it is given a clean signal, otherwise it's pretty loud! a bit of breath but ...
short! good value for money, is better! but there are far worse! then, yes I would do this election if I had 1000 euro slam!

The Mackie SRM 450 is a powered PA speaker for live shows and band practices and things of that sort. These are 2-way, bi amplified speakers that don't require any sort of additional power since they're active. I normally don't do much live sound, but recently the recording studio that I work at put on a show and we had a set of these for the PA. I was told that we also have used them as monitoring on stage, but while I was there setting up and helping with the sound we were using them as house PA speakers. These things can definitely get pretty loud, but the music for the most part wasn't too heavy so we were blasting them to their full potential. They're really easy to set up and to control, and for PA speakers they aren't incredibly heavy as I was able to carry one of them by myself. They now have a newer version of the SRM 450's, but I haven't seen or used them so I can't compare them to these. As far as pure sound quality is concerned, I was definitely pretty impressed with the clarity coming from these speakers, but again we weren't loading it up with too many loud sounds as it was pretty stripped down. I don't know what kind of price we paid for these speakers, but if you can find this version of them now I'd imagine that they would be a bit cheaper since there is indeed a newer version of these out. Macke in generally makes very affordable public address (PA) gear, so I'd be surprised if this wasn't already a deal when the studio got them. If you're looking for a set of powered PA speakers that will get the job done in most situations, the SRM 450's are definitely worth a gander.

I bought them secondhand in 2004: two SRM450 with two SWA1501 subwoofers made in Italy...

I've used them for about 400 gigs since and I haven't had any problem.

First of all, I compared them live with some Chinese models and there is SIMPLY NO COMPARISON!!! Except for the look these are fully different products.

I use them for FOH applications (with the subwoofers) with my band (guitar, bass, drums, keyboard and vocal) in clubs, medium size halls and small open air venues (up to 500 persons). I feed them with a 01V96 V2.

With an EQ in the mixer output to correct the mids (which can sound aggressive sometimes), the upper highs (a bit too weak, especially at high output volumes) and the possible acoustic problems of the room. I get a very good sound and a good definition regardless of the volume. Unlike the Chinese models, the speakers have a good feedback rejection.

The size/output power/sound quality ratio is really excellent.

Currently, only RCF speakers can compete with this system.

I'm still fully satisfied with this speaker system.
