    Beautiful beast, very solid and not too heavy to sound generous but not intrusive.

    This box goes perfectly with my two Electro Voice SX 300;

    Caution!
    If like me you buy used, make sure it is equipped with HP FCR and not Zoubia was the Taiwanese as the last series produced by MACKIE that was bought there already a few times and is now in the money Manufacturer of shit.

    I owned one since 2003 equipped with a HP RCF. The sub is robust. I use it in 2.1 system associated with 2 passive speakers in my building with Beyma (plan found on the website Beyma) and amplified by an NSX TR 15.2. The system gives me an excellent broadcast quality for 150 people.
    To return to the sub, it produces rich bass and round. In 10 years never any problems even by heating the beast.

    Mackie bad points if the new subs are mounted HP Asia. I understand the frustration of users.

    I agree with some that fold on ART. I also implemented subs ART is fun!

    Hello, I have only to see your question on the SAW in 1501 of Mackie.

    How long have you use it?
    I bought it used for at least 4 years. TRS is a good product that I use a couple with two SWR 450.

    Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
    I do not testbeaucoup of other models because I went on the most suitable for the satellite.

    What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    We must push hard enough if used with SRM450, despite its 500 w I feel a little winded with this arrangement, the MODEL suprieur would be better but heavier and more expensive.


    How do you report qualitprix?
    With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

    I think the choice is correct with the old team of HP MODELS FCR.

    I bought this cabinet two months ago and the first thing he is careful to say it! clearly, if your speakers are less than 300 w rms, you will not hear them!
    rather compact compared to his (sorry, the sound pressure!), the medium power amplified subwoofer (600W rms qd same) you will be satisfied for your private parties, but just be a little more than 100 people or in large rooms.
    I use it with a pair of speakers mackie srm 450 (400w rms) and j'obtient sound quite extraordinary. open to all frequencies and not aggressive either.
    it's really good material, can be a bit expensive against the race condition, but also much more efficient.

    Small but costal this subwoofer a maximum sound pressure Mackie really do save it.
    I was really ceptique at first but I won I recommend it for small delivery style wedding and banquet halls in small capacity (no gym it's not made for that)
    Ideally, these two have with SRM 450 and moves it takes hard ................... No more racks of amps that stuck with delivery in Prest ............................. Pascal's 43 (host and musician)

    Space power are important advantages trs.
    All too often the volume is proportional to the power

    Trs a good sound especially with two Mackies utiliss SRW 450 and not out of breath

    APRS one year of use it is not possible to get a report dfaire quality unbeatable price
    disco orchestra in use or rapid assembly and disassembly a cable with a cable joint audio + power supply and you're joubr /> I hsit of the Sub yamaha trs good too but not as performance

    Hardware deprecated those who want to stay poor

    I have used 3 months, I replaced my 500W and boosts my no-name 300W 2 by SWA-1501 and RS-450 2. You probably can imagine: NOTHING TO DO!

    The sound is super accurate. Sure the price is quite high but the quality is there!

    I host parties like birthdays, weddings, etc., I voicing of concerts and sing well. The voice is great ... it's a pleasure to sing in there.

    Well then, in small rooms need to tell you that we must not push the stuff thoroughly, if everyone is deaf! For larger rooms, the bass is very present.

    Sometimes I do get one box and the result is just as good.
    With experience, it's clear, I bought it right away.

    The handling (for transport) of the speakers is easy enough: beautiful handles well placed. Even the box 40Kg which is quite easy to carry (and yet I have no muscles!)

    My only regret there is no ready-made slipcovers for this box. Too bad.

    No! I say no!
    It's more the sound of before, why?
    MADE IN CHINA characteristics have changed and obviously the quality is no longer an appointment!
    DAMAGE!

    I use it for 3 months and I'm really pleased.
    Amateur PA, I have many discomobile friend and musician, and I was able conparer few models before making my purchase (HK Lucas 1000, Yamaha, Behringer and Personal mounted Eminence) and I must admit that the Mackie is well above.
    The point of course the most striking is the clarity of the bass, I rocked since my childhood by my father who is a fan of tube amp and I must say that I was not disappointed.

    The whole concept is very well done, the amp back and cooled well casing is very well balanced, I carry one with no problem.

    The back cover includes the passage for the full range of diversion to another forum and the filtered output for the heads.
    Aesthetically, I also find it quite well but it is the side of subjective.

    I use it with my 2 SRM 450 and rendering final execeptionnel in sound, the sound is well balanced, it descends very low no balance and when we send, it is never without price.

    Congratulations Mackie and I put 9 / 10 in this box (not to 10) because it's worth it!
    If I had to do it again, I would make this choice without hesitation, the price is quite high but the design is completed and the workmanship is present
    I think I would put 9 / 10 as prices as

    Working properly, I could add sound to a gym with no worries. the volume is so strong that I have to put the volume to the mini ...

    thus produced pleinenent interesting and good quality as much about classical music as contemporary music.
