This month’s featured PA System is the SRM-350 V2, the Ultra-Compact Live Sound Powerhouse from the Mackie stable. The Mackie SRM-350 V2 is the smaller lighter sibling of the SRM-450V2, which we reviewed and featured back in August

Sharing the same new technology that makes the SRM450v2 the breakthrough live performance powerhouse that it is, the ultra-compact SRM350v2 is perfect for when space is at a premium. With a front view that measures 13.1″x20.7″ at a depth (front to rear) of 12.25″, the SRM-350 is noticably smaller than it’s bigger brother, the SRM-450 V2, and weighing 26lb (11.8kg) is just over half the weight.

Featured PA System: Mackie SRM450V2 SRM Version 2

If you want to know our favourite Sound Reinforcement Monitor, that would be the Mackie SRM 450 V2. The SRM450v2 continues the SRM450’s tradition of studio monitor sound quality, and trumps it to deliver sound that makes any venue seem like a well-tuned studio.

The Mackie SRM450V2 SRM Version 2 is a 2-way bi-amplified portable active loudspeaker pa system, which 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.

The best measure of the SRM 450v2 is the exceptional sound quality; You might match it, but you wont do better.
Linkwitz Riley crossovers divide driver and tweeter punching out accurate detail up to 127dB. The sound is crisp and bright without losing the roundess of the bass. Noise is low to the extent of being negligible, with an EQ option built in, but only the mildly insane would use it and trade the accuracy. Although usually found on a PA stand at the events we crew, the Mackie SRM450v2 also doubles up as a floor monitor.
