    Beautiful yes, but only the old version! The new version is trs mediocre, it does not sound and not worth the money! b]
    For the old version:
    Impressive sound clarity and a good power trs.

    I am completely daccord with some quality (since FCR is more inside) is no longer the appointment ... What is surprising is that other is content!? The I confess I do not understand, I want to say: Come join cost me RCF ART 705 you tell me the news ... same size same design but not even HP or amps ... And that is the difference.

    I do not have much to say more ...
    I have not had time to use it from top to bottom. I rented the tps a weekend to see if it suited me and maybe buy it. I'm pretty disappointed with the power and bass response. Even the box hk 300 watts is better!

    I have a lot of products mackie (swa 1501, RS 350, RS 450 v2). I haven t had any problems jms. I want to say to people who can not use the equipment that the brand has nothing to do!
    J have had the opportunity to sound to a building of 600m ² n I have not had problems with Mackie.
    Now it is true that his is not the product RCF. But I think the quality / price very very good.

    With the experience I remake the choice without any hesitation.

    For my own experience, I have background music when a room of 200 m2 with a height of 6 meters MACKIE SWA 1501 m 'in Scotch by his power: it is the impression of having had a 1.5 KW .. . 8 crosses home floor! impossible to live!
    And especially to the first version, MADE IN ITALY (nothing to do with the new version made in china!)
    I recommnande because in addition it is amplified so cheap for the price.

    Used in mobile disco, I am very happy with the product. I have two boxes and two SRM450. I use one or two depending on the room, however, one cabinet and sufficient for rooms of up to 250 people. It is mainly a matter of Estetique. The boxes are set to a super mini made no heater no surprise avec.Ils are equipped with Boomer 38cm RCF.Voir now if the new ones are always equipped!.
    A little heavy as all boxes

    If I had I will buy a box and two FCR 38CM 500 in art satellite equipment to be on the inside.

    The Mackie SWA1501 is a subwoofer system that is designed for live sound reinforcement. It's a got an active 15" woofer and is of course to be used in within the context of a full PA system. The studio that I work at has a full PA rig as we sometimes do live shows in the studio and put on a festival every year. We've got two of these subwoofers in this system and while they only get used every now and again, the owner likes having it as it does indeed get used sometimes. Like me say that this sub can produce some extremely low and extremely loud low frequencies. It's definitely necessary to have a proper sub for live sound, and the SW1501 is just that.

    The Mackie SWA1501 is a subwoofer system that is designed for live sound reinforcement. It's a got an active 15" woofer and is of course to be used in within the context of a full PA system. The studio that I work at has a full PA rig as we sometimes do live shows in the studio and put on a festival every year. We've got two of these subwoofers in this system and while they only get used every now and again, the owner likes having it as it does indeed get used sometimes. Like me say that this sub can produce some extremely low and extremely loud low frequencies. It's definitely necessary to have a proper sub for live sound, and the SW1501 is just that. It's nice that this is an active sub woofer as it doesn't require an external power source and is fully functional on it's own. It's got a built in crossover section and XLR connections for it to plug everything into it. I don't remember off the top of my head what the other speakers are that we have with the SWA1501, but it's an all Mackie PA system and can get extremely loud for all frequencies and especially the low end part of things with the SWA1051. I don't really know what the Mackie SWA1501 will cost you, but as with any PA system sub woofer it's going to be at least a decent amount. Having said this, Mackie gear in general is some of the best bang for your buck and that's what you're going to get with the SWA1501 as well. It's probably not the most professional subwoofer, but unless you're a venue where you're using it every night, it's definitely adequate. I'd check out the full compliment of Mackie PA gear if you're looking to put one together for yourself as they have options for everyone.
