All user reviews for the Mackie SRM450

Hello,
I am the Mackie distributor for Northern France, and I walked by chance this page I Hic on Article prcedent.
First before esclafer me the qualities of this or not pregnant, I must admit that I am surprised by this anti-Chinese racism ... My PowerBook 17 or my iPod, which make many envious for their manufacturing quality, are manufactured in China. Products increasingly prestigious are actually the bottom - for reasons of empty cot -In concrete example, let's look eg. VW Golf car. the Last has a big part of its production in the depths of the countries of the TSE. If you were to buy one, you'd be nostalgic for the Golf I or II? Recall that it is one of the most sold cars in the world then good ... Made in Italy, made in Tartempion ... I sold RCF for 5 years and I sell MACKIE 6 years, I see the RESULTS .... Today, RCF has t ratchet DB Technologies manufactures while .... India, if you say sth. Then compare their respective products and we hear about it A sticker behind a pregnant remains a sticker ... For the SRM, I said a particulirement the accuracy of all information visible: http: //www.wmaker.net/nicolas/%95-La-Nouvelle-SRM-450-!_a127.html (https://www.wmaker.net/nicolas/%95-La-Nouvelle-SRM-450-) .dropoff window Actually the new and the old "sound" differently. I do not see what there is to pjoratif! Currently the new SRM has a much better quality on the part ague - which dfavorise can be serious ... But in acoustics, Backline - or a large demand serious - goes through a ... Subwoofer! Thanks a dlocalise manufacturing, prices speakers and Sub largely so Diminu better purchasing power. In short, given our stat. sales, the SRM still has bright future and business users are always satisfied! Friendly. Nicolas - http://www.mackiefrance.com/

Purchased there over 10 years ago, Italian style.

I wanted a good sound, not necessarily watts galore, but also good quality.
I my bearings on a good pair of "banana" Bose 802. Sound terrible of course, but off-budget (and without a subwoofer, yet essential with these corny)
I was offered the Mackies in the budget with the subwoofer, tested, adopted!

Pros: The sound, I use filtered with subwoofer (Mackie SWA 1501 purchased at the same time) for large parties, the sound is terrible, clean enough (obviously must equalize, as they are quite accurate and can quickly become aggressive for once). And strength, she made evening outside, connected to an old generator, on a beach at all possible volume RAS! One is cut once (thermal protection), but I had really pushed (200 people in a gym). 10 minutes later, here we go nickel.

The -: are heavy (but the handles are damn good)

I remake this choice without problem! I've had quite expensive I guess, but reported the good services they have rendered me (and they still make me) it was worth it.

I purchased my Mackie SRM450 speakers after an exhaustive search for something to provide my DJ business with quality and reliability. They often list for close to $700.00, however with some leg work, I was able to get the price down to $600.00.

These speakers are active. They have the amplifiers built right in! This si great for the mobile DJ who won't have to carry around a seperate (and heavy) amplifier. Plus, the sound is rich, and smooth. They have a wide dispersion pattern, making the whole room seem to fill up with music (not just in front of the speakers). Because they have amps built in, I'm not worried about blowing these speakers.

They don't have a whole lot of Bass. I pair mine with a seperate sub-woofer when I need that extra punch. Plus, for crowds larger than 250 to 300, you really need more power. I am also concerned about the cost of repair. I have never had any problems, but if something were to go wrong with this unit, they are more expensive to replace than a stand-alone speaker, or amplifier. They are also a bit pricey, but well worth the investment!

The unit is molded plastic, and is very sturdy. It has three handles (one on each side, and one on the top) for convenient transport. The biggest thing that impressed me about the look and construction is the sheer sturdyness of it. These things are made to me hauled around, and can stand a lot of abuse!

If you are a mobile or club DJ, these are the perfect speakers for most of your applications. They are durable, sound great, and require no external amplifier. I would reccomend them to anyone who does a lot of travel with them, because they are rugged. The quality is worth the investment.

Acquired new at the standard price of $699 per speaker, for use as keyboard amplification in a rather loud rock band that plays clubs with audiences of 50-200.

These speakers are powered, which eliminates the need for a powered mixer. (I just use a small non-powered mixer to mix the keyboards). They are also reasonably lightweight, being housed in plastic, compared with most of the plywood-housed PA speakers on the market.

The sound is totally overrated, in my opinion. The high end is decent and fairly clear. However the low end severely lacks power and sounds harsh in comparison with other similarly priced units. I am really disappointed with these and will either have to add a subwoofer to get adequate low end, or will have to sell them and buy speakers with 15" woofers instead.

Plastic housing, seems to be fairly resistant to dings and scratches.

Way overpriced and overrated. You will need to add a subwoofer to get what you really want out of these speakers.

C c are the top active speakers!
I use it recently. Grows well when sending a sound without distortions that break the ears when the block. The sound volume is low trs trs is crystal clear it looks like the Hifi salon! However when I put them in the room rpt 'well mean a lot of steam when the enclosure is same as the industry sector, and drives me crazy as much noise! Mackie for the fucks wrong. But this opinion on the matter may be erroneous not having heard other speakers of this type and this power, all APRS c a pregnant utiiser 400W it should be as such ... and not as a forum for monitoring oops!

The enclosure is very well think the rear panel is a MODEL of the genre there are all that is necessary (see spec in Mackie.com), is an all solid air trs Aesthetics in a form trs.

I paid 800 unit (yes!) and in addition I was able to test them, so for me to c c a good quality price I remake that choice. The suggested retail price is now my taste but a good lev epu c Mackie, we get something for nothing.
C So that's good for me!

Praise!! Inclination of the torso and respect!
The SRM450 is constantly m'patter. The quality flag and compression make this place a pan of the best choices we can in this game commetre price. All you have to be convinced, one of comparrer eon15 JBL, you change your mind and JBL, and Mackie! It would be fairer to compare a home ART300A RCF, knowing that the price of the ART300 is about 150euros infrieur (indulgence so). The sound is fine and trs Fidler, the dynamics are impressive, the connectors are complte, the product is reliable, ... Briefly, a Russianness.

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 clear, very precise. 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!

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!)

Tip: If you often carry, do not hesitate to invest in covers. They will be better protected.

I use these speakers since 2001.

At the time, it is true that there was not much amplified offers!

It was a good compromise his / space.

on the other hand in the long run, I had some problems.

For example one stroke over his safety because temperature has begun.
Of course this rarely happens, but sometimes when it gets hot and after 2 or 3 hours of operation, the rear heater burning. (The first time it's weird!) Must then put a fan back to dissipate heat so that security is unlocked.

I also had them repaired last year because the power resistors were laché.160 euros.

Otherwise it is a model with a fairly accurate and quite dynamic.

A small problem for the mediums that I find a bit aggressive!

I bought two SRM450 two years ago in a store that gave me a price "INTERESTED" 950 euros each ...
ds dpart, one of the LEDs (the Systm automatically mute when no signal) does not turn ...
the store told me to leave this dtail given the time it would take for rpar (reference to sav, dlais ...), and in need, I dropped .
but a few months later, a grsillement appeared during the night; also brought back dry store, the technician chang dfaillant a capacitor, and always without rpar the problem of the LED (not that n'tait grid c'tait Systm that the DCON) ensuring that c'tait too much work for nothing.
always in need, they have been using the last t, without particular problem.
This year was no different with grsillement, this time the speaker is no longer guaranteed, the technician does not want to touch because Mackie refuses rpar if pregnant t "Trifouille" ( according to him), knowing that I must return it to the Mackie Service, my office, my office with Repair Tool.
I dare not imagine the same price, which will cost a standard for operating a gear random image!

Hello,
I am a technician and I often sound to the small gigs in bars.
I had the opportunity to use a package of small systems in the kind of Mackies
jbl, rcf, hk etc. ...
I was very disappointed when I found with this system in the legs
It is loud and responsive to feedback. more people who own around me
we all had problems of reliability ... I pensse you understand the depths of my penssée

these speakers are not good and just use it to realize it. articles giving
good grades seem suspicious.
AudioFanzine is a very Utille media for many people. Those who corrupt it by posting notice
while they are interrested COMERCIALES are destroying the essence and beauty of the Internet.

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!

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).
