"Tight, clean, beautiful bass!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The quality you'd expect from Mackie at a price that mere mortals can afford. A perfect companion to my Mackie HR624s. Who could ask for more?
Sound
Clean, tight, beautiful bass.
Features
Includes a power cable, and switches between 110v and 220v. Has both XLR and RCA inputs.
Ease of Use
A snap to set up and use.
Quality
At this price, I figured the fit and finish would be cheap. Not at all--it's built like a tank!
Value
Durable design and incredible sound you'd expect from Mackie at an affordable price. The packaging isn't as fancy as a Mackie product, the warranty isn't as good, and the unit is made in China. However, I'm not seeing what other corners they cut.
The Wow Factor
It's a subwoofer... these aren't exactly exciting. The bass is incredible though.
