VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I would characterize the sound of this unit as clean, potent and honest. The quality of the sound is great; it informs my playing and singing; it honestly sends to my ear what I gave it, (for better and admittedly worse sometimes). It suits me and my style fine. I doubt I'll ever use it with just a mic., I use it with a Mackie CFX-12, and like it; so much that I ordered the second one. I play, sing, record and play back through this speaker, and I dig it. The prompt question asks to suggest tips to make this product sound better. To my ears it sounds like this product very slightly exaggerates frequencies at 4k and 8k as I very slightly drop these two frequencies on my eq. to eliminate idol noise. Nevertheless, I still feel the product is exceptionally honest as it reproduces sounds. Feature: I cannot really fault Mackie here for not supplying the exact lengths of XLR cable for all of my different applications of this product. I personally think it is good that the features on the back only include volume, and auto power off, the low cut and contour buttons are useless for my applications as my mixer does that. In that everyone likes a deal, included speaker stands would be a decent extra with this product. Ease of Use: My father picked this unit up for me and dropped it off at my place; he plugged in his Stratocaster, I plugged in my Bongo-5 and it sounded great. We turned it up, and it sounded even greater. My experience with Mackie manuals is that they are well written, clear, and advise about common errors in use. I find that when I follow their instructions I like their products. Quality: I like the look of this black speaker. It seems solid, the handles and general shape of this essentially plastic unit are beefy in the substantial sense of seeming solid. For the weight of the unit the handles are smartly placed so that the speaker is not unduly awkward to carry. I am a bassist, and have handled my share of ridiculous cabinets. Value: Personally, this price range seems reasonable for the quality of this product, (it is, at the very least: two amps, two speakers, and an engineered cabinet). I have tried other speaker cabinets and chose the SRM450v2 as I like their sound better than the Berhinger, Peavey, and JBL counterparts. Manufacturer Support: Yes, I have dealt with the company; their products keep working well, and so I keep finding myself buying more of their products. The Wow Factor: Well, try to remember that this is a speaker cabinet. It does happen to fit my applications very well; it works as: a monitor at church, a practice PA, a monitor in a big band, a monitor in small combos, a PA in larger combos and a play back monitor after recording, (mastering tracks). So, it is practical, versatile, performs well and looks nice; but I am uneasy calling it sexy. Although the blue LED is pretty excellent. Overall: This speaker cabinet convinced me that the second one to complete an adequate PA was ideal. I suspect I will try subs with my rig some day, but for my applications this rig is ideal for the foreseeable future.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: Oh my! I could not believe how clear these babies sound when I play EVERY style of music through them (no matter what volume). These sound a lot clearer than the original SRM450 and are noticeably lighter (big plus). I pushed them hard for over 4 hours when I first got them in and there was barely any heat coming from the amp on the back (room temperature was about 78 degrees). I have not seen the peak light turn on no matter how loud I put them and the sound is AMAZING! I recommend a subwoofer to fill in the bass but even alone they hit hard as low as 55hz. Feature: I was hesitant to buy these because of the blue color and the price but honestly I needed to stop carrying my amp rack and heavy passive speakers. The dark blue can only be noticed in daylight but they look great, at night they blend in and look like black speakers. Ease of Use: Just plug a signal and power cord and you are good to go! No need for crossovers or ANY equalizer, it is all built in! Quality: So far they are solid, i have experience with the old SRM450 and the actual enclosure is the same, just a different color. Why re-invent the wheel when you know you have an amazing product! They only changed what they needed to change. Value: The price is not too bad but i feel they are worth it! Manufacturer Support: I have not had any problems yet and i hope that stays that way. The Wow Factor: If you want to receive compliments from your audience and lighten your carrying load when traveling, these are the perfect speakers for you! Overall: I am very satisfied with my purchase and will most likely buy another pair in the future. If you have any thoughts or questions about the new Mackie SRM450v2, just ask me!

Sound: I lined them up side by side with QSD K12. No contest, Mackie wins. At flat mixer settings (Mackie CFX12) and at Unity level on the speakers, K12 don't even come close to Makie's. The sound on Mackie's is Full and rich and o K12 it is flat and low. Makies are agreat buy. Feature: Simple Ease of Use: Plug-and-play Quality: No Issues and I won several makie products, Value: Not much in the market that you can get with this sound quality for this much, Manufacturer Support: Had no reason to use them The Wow Factor: Not the best looking and design, I am not crazy about the blue color and the handle is not the most the comfortable. The sound quality makes up for it. Overall: Get it, you'll be happy.

Sound: I tested several brands/models in this price/power range. This is definitely the best of it's class. For deep bass, I am using a SRM1801 sub-woofer but enven without sub-woofer the low notes are clear and lively. Feature: The timed auto-power off is a nice feature. Quality: The product is light-wight and very strong. I also own a pair of SRM350V2 and once I dropped then from a 2nd level stairs. It rolled down 20ft but there was absolutely no damage. It appears that SRM450V2 are made of similar strength.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Clear and present in all situations. I use them for DJ work, live performances and studio mains. I just did an outdoor event in a 5 acre field using three SRM 450's. You could hear everything clearly from all points. I have been using these speakers now for 9 years and they still amaze me to this day. Feature: Timed turn on off is excellent. They will shut themselves off after a few minutes when they have no signal, and turn themselves back on when the signal returns. Ease of Use: Plug and play, no manual but you don't really need one. There is no learning curve, everything is self explanatory. Quality: I have a set of original Made in Woodinville WA, Mackies Version 1. There are a few cosmetic differences but the quality of construction is the same as ever. Value: Totally worth the price for the excellent quality you get. Consider that you are purchasing an amp, a high quality crossover and a speaker all in one package. Then go out and price those same components separately and see if you can match the sound quality you get with this speaker. You won't be able to do it for the same price that one of these cost. They sit right in the middle of that fine line between quality and price. Manufacturer Support: Mackie has an authorized service repair center near me. They have been excellent to work with. I had an annoying buzz in one of my woofers once, they replaced the woofer in one day under warranty and I was back in business. Working directly with Mackie however can be a frustrating and time consuming experience. The Wow Factor: I have the originals, the v.2 Blueberry and now the black and I like the black versions the best. They look tough and well built. They scream quality at a glance, and I get many compliments on how good they sound from my DJ clients. Overall: I stay up on all the latest tech in speakers. I have extensively studied the competition and it's going to take a major leap in speaker technology to make me consider another speaker. Even in the Mackie line, I consider the SRM 450 the ultimate package. This speaker sits right in the sweet spot that all manufacturers look for. For my money this is the best speaker value available today. A perfect union of quality and price.

Sound: These speakers have an inherent noise output that is annoying in low volume applications and monitor use. The Hi-mid section and low-hi section tends to be very harsh sounding. I ended up selling mine at a loss and getting QSC K10 which are vastly superior. Feature: All the DSP features are good on these speakers with ample power. Ease of Use: Light weight and easy to use Quality: They are sturdy. Value: Spend a little more and get QSC K10 or K12 speakers. Manufacturer Support: Although Mackie has been great with my other products they didn't even respond when I asked for help with the inherent noise output. Overall: I sold mine because they weren't good enough.

Sound: could be better with the low end sound Feature: Could have rca plug ins. But, it's still has a lot of good features Quality: They really need to bring production back to the US. I'd rather pay a little more and have a quality product then a lesser quality speaker from China. There seems to be a lack of quality control with regards to Mackie products. I bought 2 speakers. But, 1 starts to distort at a lesser volume then the other and twice as bad Value: Not bad, a little expensive though still. But, like i said earlier. I'd pay more if the quality control was a little better Manufacturer Support: Not Sure. Havent had to use them yet The Wow Factor: I do like the look of it and the handles as well as the relatively ligth weight
