Feature:
Few controls but they're effective. I really loved the sound, sorry I returned it. Now I have to order another one!

Quality:
THE BEST QUALITY! Couldn't believe how well made it is.

Value:
Would have been nicer if this was 100 less, or at least had a digial effects unit in it.

Desirability:
I returned this and now I wish I kept it. Now I have to go buy it again!

Sound:
I was quite surprised when I heard this small unit. The only thing that would have made it sweeter is if it had a built in effects unit. The sound was studio-quality clear, very nice bottom end and clear mids and highs. I used this for a single act at a party of 50 and I was asked to turn down! I pumped backing tracks, vocals, and an acoustic through this little guy

Ease of Use:
The controls are perfectly set for performance and clarity. Not too many buttons and levels to screw up!

Support:
Mackie. Nuff said.

Overall:
This guy is rock solid and will last. Buy one won't be disappointed.

Feature:
It has enough features for what it is. If you want effects get a small mixer that has effects to go with it. The nice thing about that is you can set the mixer near you and control the amount of effects and volumes easily and make adjustments for each song and person on the fly.

Quality:
I read here some were not happy with it. I hope I don't have any issues with it. I love it.

Value:
I have had the Roland Street Cube. Mobile Cube. Both are nice if you don't have electricity. But this thing is a real sound system.

Sound:
I think the sound quality is very good. Amazing for such a small speaker. It reproduces exactly what you put into it. It is completely dry of any effects. I purchased a Behringer 1002FX small mixer with effects with it. Together it is a winning package. Here is how I have used it so far. With a small acoustic blues trio. Two guitars and one harmonica and vocals. I placed a studio type condenser mic in front of us to pick up all of us at once. I also used it solo the same whereas I play an acoustic guitar and vocals. It is quite impressive. You almost wonder if its picking up anything at all it is so transparent. Next time I ran just vocal mics through it and used amps for the guitars etc. I was outside of the room while one person was singing and was amazed how nice it sounded and loud. Again get an inexpensive small mixer that has effects. With the combination I got there is no hiss or noise. It is dead quiet. I placed the unit on a tripod stand without the boom of course. It will feed back as anything will depending on where you place it. I will try placing it on a chair in the corner next time also. Have to say I am really impressed with this unit overall.

Ease of Use:
Plug it in and go.

Overall:
I have had a few PA systems. Large, medium and smaller. Any more I am into small and light weight. But my interest is solo to small acoustic combos. More interested in sound quality than blowing the place away with volume.

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.

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:
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:
Very nice features. Considering its size, it has three band EQ plus phantom power and even a fuse and various ways to sculpt sound.

Quality:
I have seldom had such problems with anything I have bought new. On the first, the speaker was not soldered properly and I had to wait for the warranty repair as it made no sound. Just yesterday, the power light stopped working on the new one I bought. For this reason, I would hardly recommend the units.

Value:
If it was manufactured with satisfactory components, it would be well worth it. I think that either the quality control team is drunk, stoned or just out of it completely.

Desirability:
Who wants units that break this easily and this quickly. Kind of pathetic.

Sound:
The sound on the unit is really very good, especially considering the size. I have two of them and use them as a stereo pair for my keyboards. The bass gets a tad muddy if you push it but the sound is good overall.

Ease of Use:
Very, very easy to use.

Support:
The two weeks I waited for the first to be fixed makes me dread bringing in this new one.
