Mackie SRM450V2 active PA speaker

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.

Mackie SRM 450 V2 Including FREE Stand, Mackie Bag and Lead!!

  • 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
