Advantages: Top sound quality, physical design, optional subwoofer Disadvantages: None as yet!
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, ... ...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.

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.

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
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 ...

Quick review of Mackie SRM450
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. ...
