"Good speaker, lousy customer service and warranty"

Feature:
Has good features easily reached even when flown

Quality:
Speaker came new in flawless condition.

Value:
It is a good value, considering the sound quality and the fact that you eliminate an amp.

Sound:
This speaker has great overall tone. I use it primarily for keys and vocals

Ease of Use:
average

Support:
I had warranty issue with one. They paid postage back to them, which was nice, but they do not send you back your speaker. They just send you one that has been "refurbished". The speaker I sent back came out of the box and put onto a pole in the lounge, where it stayed, and still looked like new. The one I got back had obviously spent a great deal of time bouncing around in the back of a van. I was not thrilled. Customer service promised to look into it and get back to me. That was 4 months ago. For me, this is a huge issue.

Overall:
I would probably replace it with another should I ever have to. It is a good speaker, I just get frustrated with unresponsive customer service and getting screwed on warranty repairs.

Style of Music: rock, country

"Mackie Service Problems"

Feature:
would be a lot more useful if it had a mic/line input. Also a two band EQ would be a lot better. (like the EV SXA)

Quality:
I have owned six of these, and two have failed and had to be sent back to factory. With a long wait to get them back.

Value:
They would be worth the price if it wasn't the long service wait.

Desirability:
looks good

Sound:
Great overall sound. Does have a slight tendency to feedback if anywhere near a microphone.

Ease of Use:
Even though the speaker appears to be able to use it as a floor monitor on it's side, this is not the case. A bad design flaw is that they put the "heat sinks" on the back Vertical, so that when laid on side the speaker overheats and shuts down for about 5-7 minutes. This has happened to me many times. A little fan down next to it is the only solution.

Support:
Some of the worst customer support. They did respond to my emails, but their repair record is dismal. It took months to get my speaker fixed, and 6 months to get a mackie dfx-6 mixer fixed. The reason is that they only have 7 repair facilities, and they are backlogged for months.

Overall:
Love the sound and SPL, don't like the service, can live with the price.

News
Mackie's new SRM450 is so precise, so powerful, and so easy to use, they refuse to call it a PA speaker. Active technology finally makes it possible for you to exercise listening criteria reserved for high-end studio monitors in a live sound environment. And since Mackie is the one unleashing the world's first active sound reinforcement monitor, you can be sure it's affordable.

The SRM450 active sound reinforcement monitor brings truckloads of power to any event, eliminating the need for external amplification and costly electronics (such as processors). In fact, this new Mackie loudspeaker - the first in a series of speakers developed with RCF, who has 50 years of speaker experience - uses technology and features found in systems costing thousands of dollars.

From beginning musicians to AV rental houses and everywhere in between, anyone who uses a PA will find the SRM450 to be the workhorse sound reinforcement solution. Everything you need for sound reinforcement - aside from the mixer (and they have those, too) - is in the SRM450. Take a look toward the top of this great-looking monitor and you'll notice the UltraWide Dispersion horn. Designed to deliver high frequency sounds across a spacious horizon, the SRM450 can be heard clearly by every person in the audience. Left, right, or behind that big post toward the back of the room, the crowd can hear it all.

You won't break your back hauling it around, either, thanks to the high-impact composite enclosure. Handles on both sides and on top make it easy to carry.

What's more, the SRM450 can be pole-mounted, flown, or even used as a floor wedge. In fact, the SRM450's asymmetrical geometry and wide-dispersion, studio-quality horn provide unobtrusive sight lines and optimized stage monitoring performance.

They've packed so many features, so much performance and versatility into the SRM450, you'll have to hear and see it for yourself. And they guarantee: once you do, you'll never have any question about who to trust your sound to.
