The Mackie SRM450 is a powered speaker that is portable and easy to use, requiring no external power for operation. Its many features make it a great choice for both bands and artists alike.
The Mackie SRM450 is a powered PA speaker that requires little setup and is very portable. It is easy to use because it requires no additional power and can work for multiple settings. Though it can serve as an onstage PA speaker, its small size would only make this use appropriate in very small venues; however, it works well as an onstage monitor.
The Mackie SRM450 requires no external power amplifier and is powered by FR series 300W for lows, 100W for highs. This makes it perfect for sound reinforcement purposes and small venue usage.
Mackie sets itself apart from other companies by incorporating technology that allows its products to perform functions far beyond that of simpler structures. Its size makes transporting quick and easy and its features allow for considerably shorter set up time because a separate pre-amp is not necessary.
The Mackie SRM450 also provides more connection options than other systems, which is one reason it can be used as a PA speaker and an onstage monitor. Hook it directly into the sound board for the sharp, precise sound it is sure to provide and you are ready to go. Its shape also gives it ultra-wide audience coverage, allowing the crowd to hear the sound it emanates from anywhere in the room when it is used as a PA speaker. Handles also allow for easy carrying, and its compact size for storage in small places.
The Mackie SRM450 is also equipped with electronic processing, built-in EQ, Phase Alignment, and time correction. This can be a plus because it allows any issue that requires adjustment to be conducted from the stage. This is espeically good if no sound engineer is present because it allows for quick corrections. It is, however, not a plus if a sound engineer is present and is handling such issues from the sound board, especially if it is a good distance from the onstage set up, as is often the case. Either way, these features are present, and can be very useful in certain situations, which is what makes the Mackie SRM450 a good choice for small venue performances or when used for sound reinforcement purposes. Mackie’s products are built to last, and the SRM450 is no exception. Here, quality and reputation do prevail.
