Feature:
If you put this product on the mike stand as directed it can fall over easily. ( Top Heavy)

Quality:
Very poor quality!

Value:
No.I was a great Idea ,but your money is better spent else where.

Desirability:
The idea is great ,but it doesn't work.

Sound:
I have had 3 of these. Each one failed in a different way and had to be sent back. The 3rd one just lost channel 1 and Mackie is giving me a hassle when I said I want some other product or my money back. These SRM 150s are defective,badly designed products. I would steer clear of them till Mackie makes them as bullet proff as there other products. I own several other Mackie products and have not had trouble with them. I am dissapointed that they would leave me holding the bag like this.No more Mackie products for me till this is settled.

Ease of Use:
No problem till the electronics fail.

Support:
It looks like the are going to leave me holding the bag so to speak.

Overall:
I would never by anouther one.

Feature:
The stand adapters are really poor quality. My boom stand actually fell on my Hang drum from the imbalance. The top adapter stripped out the first gig. The bottom adapter for the stand bends too much.

Quality:
It feels like soft cheap plastic. I like the lightweight. It is so much easier than lugging around my other systems. but the stand adapters are just disappointingly cheaply built. I really hope Mackie does a better job on future models.

Value:
I'm sorry to say, as a loyal Mackie customer, that the cheap stand adapters that went out on my first gig do not match the price tag. Also, I had to wait like 4 months to get this.

Desirability:
It really looks and feels like a toy. The quietness, transparent sound are its strongest features as well as the 3 Channel and phantom power.

Sound:
The sound of this PA is the best feature. I was worried about the limited Freq. response but have not been disappointed. It does tend to feed back if you have it on a boom stand though. I use it with a large diaphragm condenser mic. The bass gets a little honky sounding if you try too much low information. A effects patch or something would have been helpful.

Ease of Use:
Overall it is easy to use.

Support:
I don't know.

Overall:
Overall the Mackie SRM150 Compact Active PA System is exactly what the musician who wants to take up a small footprint and have quality sound. However, the mic stand attachments gave me some real problems I hope Mackie will correct in future models. The adaptors for the mic and boom stand are flimsy and the threads stripped out my first gig with it leaving my mic flopping around. Once I attached the boom the weight was too heavy for the adaptor. I appreciate the phantom power, 3 quality channels and transparent sound, but now I just set the speaker on a stool or single mic stand. This means I carry two stands now. Not something I wanted to do when I bought the SRM150. Also the phantom power indicator light wigged out after a week and now stays on regardless. I play the native American flute, sing, guitar and hang drum and use mostly a large diaphragm condenser mic.

Feature:
The SRM150 has no built-in effects which I beleive is to be expected in a device of this type. To solve this problem, I attached a PicoVerb. Also, there is no way to connect an external passive speaker.

Quality:
Well built in all respects

Value:
A little pricey considering comments mention above.

Sound:
Don't let it's size fool you. This box puts out the power and is perfectly suited to a small to medium size room. Mid to high range instruments are best with it's 5" driver.

Ease of Use:
No graphic EQ... Oh well.

Support:
No comment.

Overall:
There is nothing on the market that matches it's design and features.
