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.

    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.

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.

    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!

    Hi!
    As an amateur DJ, I wanted to pay me the sound. t have APRS dcourag prices by Bose (4500 euros for 2 "802" and an amp on sale !!!!).
    Discoveries I have these speakers by chance, I bought 3 months ago and I'm delighted! the sound of high quality trs immediately imposes a prsence tural. The most thundering is that the higher up the sound, the more it seems crystal!
    careful though, I had dj cuts (brves) to evening, apparently caused by moisture.
    Attention also to dlais delivery.

    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.

    (Former repairman amps 7 years of experience).
    I speak today, as a technician and his home studio.
    All depends on how we use to supplement with what behind? & How?
    I used it since 2002 'made in Itati' I do not know for made in china,
    I confess that I have no complaints (the made in Italy) in terms of product quality / price
    knowing they are nettements superiors towards their race condition at relatively similar prices ok, with the experience of many years, if ever it would take me to other forums not hesitate a second active Mackie, RCF ok .

    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 ha…

    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).

    I bought a pair made in china 2 years ago and contrary to what some may say, it works hard and is indestructible.
    Pushed up to broadband and with at least 6 dB in the bass, it does not decrease even after 48, 72 or 96 hours.
    I have even one who has fallen from 1.50 meters and there is not a problem of great stuff.
    My only complaint: a major a bit short, but after EQ is all just falls into place and go.
    Much better stuff in my opinion that many of powered speakers that are sold on the market.

    The Mackie SRM 450’s have a great live sound , these are a perfect for all of your road gigs. The best thing about these powered PA speakers is that they aren’t that heavy. Any band that is on the road understands the importance of having equipment that is portable and that you can get in and out of the bus or the van the easiest without compromising the sound of the monitors.
    The overall sound of these powered PA speakers is crystal clear sound, great high mid and low range that sounds really big in the club and or night spot/ bar that you man be performing in.

    The overall sound of these powered PA speakers is crystal clear sound, great high mid and low range that sounds really big in the club and or night spot/ bar that you man be performing in. I didn’t particularly like the sound of the Mackie SRM 450’s when used at an outdoor even. The sound just didn’t travel well and sound as good as it does inside of four walls. This is a problem that you can have with a lot of monitors so it wasn’t something that was that big of a deal because it’s a common issue. The price of these monitors is around a standard basic price for monitors of this caliber and size. You can pull these monitors with you no matter where you take them because like I said before they aren’t too heavy to tote around with you and they can take a beating just in case they are handled roughly it wont be a problem. They sound great with live instruments and all ranges of voices from high to low. We actually had a problem finding the stands for the Macki SRM 450’s because when we purchase them they didn’t come with any. So finding the right stand that provided good balance was kind of difficult but once we did that we had a perfect sound and great looking speakers with the Mackies. Put these on your wish list.
