"Great amp., great sound with great power LED metering. Built well, great cooling system."
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
This amp. has great rear to front cooling. Two speed fan. It will power 8 - 8ohm. monitors no problem. Can handle 4ohm load in bridge. Fans will kick on high when it really gets pumping. Rock solid, totally happy with it. (no I have NOTHING to do with Mackie) But I do like many of their products....
Sound
For an Amp. in this class, I don't think you can beat it for sound. Very tight, clear dynamic.
Features
Led power meters are great. Amp. limiter works well if your peaks are out of control. Not totally transparent, but in the heat of the mix it sounds fine if you need it. Mono, Stereo, Bridge switch easy to select.
Ease of Use
Plug in and go. Even if your new at it, it's back diagrams are self explanatory.
Quality
For this price range this Amp. is amazing. Rock solid, great sound.
Value
Great amp. for the money, no doubt. Has many self protecting features, you can't hurt it permanently.
Manufacturer Support
