All user reviews for the Mackie SRM450

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).

Rather surprised
lack a bit of aigu.son not very hot but not too bad in precision for the price
not bad for a disco in groupe.essayé c not too bad with the swa 1501
with the 1501 you can use the 450 filtered or full band
At this time we get a good result with a cut head 75 hertz.la remains dynamic
and as the box goes up to 120 hertz is the whole round
1 swa 1501 2 x SRM 450 when c is small or a second chamber to push more
in any case c is not bad at all breathless and not aggressive

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. 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.

Tested initially on loan for a few nights, outside inside, DJ or small band PA, 4 made in Italy. I usually use JBL MP412 and a pair of RCF ART 310. The Mackie is very easy to use on small field and sound good. Good performance, sharp a little dry and a little short in the extreme treble. Very common in acute medium, low for a very respectable 30 cm. I like this: Compared to my and my JBL RCF, it allowed me to settle quickly on small sound systems without needing a subwoofer. They sound good in small and medium-range field (if you're pressed for time to settle, you plug the microphones and the table, we leave everything to zero and it sounds forth without equalization ...). They can achieve interesting levels for proper sound quality. They work well with all the boxes or RCF Mackie (especially with SRS 1500), higher only when a range is requested. I have used in comparing a pair of RCF ART 325A, they are very close in power and sound quality, even for low (despite the 38 cm of the FCR). In return they are also good but the use of an equalizer is necessary to make them warm. DJ in use for a small audience til about 100 people, as it is far from using the full power, we can put some bass without fear of saturation and give a good sound (at full capacity and with the same treatment, I think it will be more careful) To know the pros who use them often and in numbers, I can say that the components are solid, electronics is doing its job and protects Hps (good electronic and thermal protection). Uncommon to have grilled boomers unless intensive use of broadband and tweeters grilled in fault conditions (Larsen supported). Electronic failures are rare (subject to the new Made in China ...), which reassures when buying secondhand. As a positive quality and convenience of acessories Mackie (covers, trolley). Carrying handles are good and the controls and connections protected. Easy to use in any case for who knows how to use an equalizer (I think this opinion is shared by two opinions below). You just have to know them a little and adjust the settings. What I dislike: Empillage périeux Installation, stability. Brittle plastics (they mark easily, covers almost indispensable for transport, attention to the radiators to the artery), it is better to provide a piece of carpet if used in return. The sound is less precise and accurate than my JBL sound system in front (I've also compared with 4726 old, my JBL are better). They are more dificiles to master in proximity or in return ... If used at full capacity, we must listen and adjust the setting of acute medium according to the distance and add a bit extreme treble (that's my taste anyway). Radiators are too exposed to the rear. They are also a bit heavy for the template.
Exellent value for money used. These are often good deals (especially made in Italy at its best and most reliable electronic). Still, boomers are absolutely a controller (state of the suspensions) when buying (or price change remembrannage Hp expensive ...). The use of broadband high power can cause premature wear.
The price performance ratio is a lot of common uses for a budjet of 600/700Euros ... I can not really tell you about the new one (from my experience) but the new series are being done in their small reputation. The current models made in China seem to close in sound quality but a tone below the made in Italy (same basic qualities and faults). I have not listened to the new V series against whom we spoke well.
Very interesting experience because I was entrusted them for a while, and I had time to test them extensively and in various places. They are surprisingly dynamic and their sound quality especially for voice. Buy? That's it I found two pairs of opportunity (one in France and Italy) since I submitted my first review in 2009 and I'm really not disappointed.

I use them for 2 years, I have 4 they are made in china. 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!.
