Mackie SRM-450-V2 2-Way Active Loudspeaker Live sound sometimes seems like a wild, uncaged animal—very hard to control. With the SRM Series Portable Active Loudspeakers, Mackie came up with 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 design—from adding new amps and transducers to a new lightweight power supply—the SRM450v2 surpasses the performance of the original SRM450 to deliver pure studio monitor sound at more powerful, full-on loudspeaker levels. Mackie kept it affordable, too—even though the SRM450v2 is a complete redesign from inside out, it retained a musician-friendly price tag. With the SRM450v2, live never sounded so good …or behaved so well. Features: 2-way bi-amplified, optimized Active loudspeaker system High-output precision titanium compression driver Neodymium long-throw low frequency transducer with 3-inch voice coil Servo Feedback controlled woofer for tight low-end punch 300W class-D, Fast Recovery LF amp / 100W HF amp Ultra-wide, smooth dispersion via multi-cell horn aperture and HF waveguide Built-in phase-accurate 24dB Linkwitz-Riley electronic crossover Mackie Active Electronic time alignment, phase correction and EQ for studio quality sound Mic/line input and pass-thru connector Lightweight for ultimate portability (40lbs) Flyable, Pole Mountable, Floor Wedge-able

Great speakers for live sound

"I've used anywhere from 2 to 10 of these at a time for small to medium sized outdoor concerts off a 32 channel A&H board and 24 channel Mackie. They work well as monitors and main speakers. These can take a seriously silly beating and still work fine and hardly show cosmetic damage. They are a bit on the heavy side, but with good quality the weight should not be an issue. I would highly recommend these for outdo..." Read Full Review »

Distortion at high volume

"I bought two of these v2's when one of my older (manufacture in Italy)450's stopped working after 7 years. I took them home and compared side by side with my older working srm450. The first V2 speaker I tried was much quieter and lacked the hard hitting punchy mid/low end I was used to from my older 450. It also distorted even at low volumes. Thank god for the 30 day return policy. I was about to pack them up an..." Read Full Review »

"Here is the thing. Mackie an amazing Italian speaker company out sourced to China.

"These are clean sounding enough that I use them in my house at lower volumes, yet they can also get loud enough for big crowds. I have diverse tastes in music and everything sounds great: vocal, jazz, electronica. It's this versatility that makes them worth getting, IMO. They definitely benefit …"  Read Full Review »

"A pair of these sound better and put out almost as much bass as my 4-year old pair of dual 15" cerwin-vegas. The best part is how portable and easy to set up they are--they can fit in the back seat of my SUV no problem. With the price drop its a no-brainer (I spoke with a club owner who recently dro …"  Read Full Review »
