MGR/DaveMackie SRM 450
Published on 08/08/03 at 15:00Acquired 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.

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, usability34 - Pdeg
Mackie reliability of Dgout no !!!!!!!!!!

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!.See less62
