loudspeaker pa system. Surpasses the performance of the original SRM450 to deliver pure studio monitor sound at more powerful, full-on loudspeaker levels. The Mackie SRM450V2 delivers live sound that sounds like it should. Live sound sometimes seems like a wild, uncaged animalvery hard to control. With the SRM Series Portable Active Loudspeakers, Mackie include the technology to help tame the beast, so you could focus on your performance, instead of being distracted by constant EQ and level tweaks. Now, with the SRM450v2, live sound is whipped completely into submission, giving you more control over your shows than ever. Thanks to its all-new designfrom adding new amps and transducers to a new lightweight power supplythe Mackie SRM 450 v2 surpasses the performance of the original SRM450 to deliver pure studio monitor sound at more powerful, full-on loudspeaker levels. Many portable loudspeakers produce lows that lack substancethey just dont have it in em to give you that chest-pounding punch. But the SRM450v2 delivers astonishingly deep and defined bass frequencies, outperforming the original SRM450, which was renowned for its ability to deliver real low-down sound. Thats thanks to the SRM450v2s servo feedback technology combined with its all-new neodymium woofer and 3-inch voice coil. The SRM450v2 employs reliable protection circuitry, a built-in limiter for

A fantastic speaker! I use two of these mainly for my band and have found them to sound exceptional for the price. They have a really wide dispersion meaning that everyone in the room can hear the highs, as well as the lows, which believe me are not lacking from what you may thing is a small 12" speaker. I have also used the SRM450s as floor monitors at other events, thanks to their wedge design when layed on their side.
The SRM450 is fairly weighty, but easy to put up and take down on your own. The speaker has multiple carrying points and even flying points! One think to watch for is that the XLR inputs are not locking. If using as a floor wedge then loop the input cable around the handle to make sure that it doesn't get pulled out if someone catches a cable on their foot.
Picked mine up from gak.co.uk with two black tripod stands, two Rockbag protective carry bags and two 6m XLR cables for £808 delivered. Much more value than similar JBL EONs and the like.
I have had mine 6 months and have had no problems with them whatsoever. I totally recommend these speakers if you need an easy to use, self contained full range set up for anything from speech, background music, right up to a small/medium sized band!
Advantages: Very versitile, sounds good Disadvantages: Some may find it heavy
The Mackie SRM450 is an extremely versatile speaker. It has the advantage of built in amplifiers, together with thermal and overload protection. I run a hire firm, pa2hire.co.uk, and we like these for several reasons - for one, they are difficult to damage, you can't overdrive them very easily as the limiter kicks in. Secondly, they have excellent sonic characteristics. We also use d&b Q7 and HK concert touring (contour) speakers, these are far more ... ...especially at moderate volumes. The more expensive speakers sound a little more hi fidelity, but you certainly pay for this. The dispersion pattern is wide, and very even. There is no tendency for beaming (high directionality at high frequencies).
Of course the other nice thing is you can use these as powered monitors, side or front fills, drum fills, or front of house, so they really are multi-role.
On the down side, some may find they are a little ...

Quick review of Mackie SRM450 Review ofMackie SRM450by
salsabloke
We have had the SRM 450s for almost 3 yrs now . we run a monthly salsa night in a fairly big social club . thay are fantastic for what we do ,together with our CDJ 200 and DJM 600 mixer, they are LOUD with good sound . we only have to have the mixer on half volume and its way loud enough ( pushing the clubs sound level meter to the red ). being active it cuts down on carrying seperate amps etc . still look like new . we are very happy with the SRM 450's

This speaker immerses you in the sound, you feel a part of whatever you're doing with it. Not only are you taking aback by it's cutting-edge design but its performance also. I personally use it with my Korg Trinity, a match made in heaven.
