Mackie SRM550 12'' Active PA Speaker

Full Description

Turn up the volume

Because when it sounds this good, you want everyone to hear it. Mackie's SRM series of professional loudspeakers has been built to perform. High-Definition Audio Processing ensures that every aspect of your sound is crystal clear. Patented acoustic correction technology, created in collaboration with the touring geniuses from EAW®, makes sure that your sound is delivered exactly the way it deserves to be. Plus, a precision 2-way crossover, driver time alignment, and phase correction give you seamless system performance for a tight, powerful sound.

It's not all down to technology though. SRM Professional cabinets are constructed to ensure that no acoustic energy goes to waste. 15mm Poplar cabinet walls that have been internally-braced help to dramatically reduce resonance. This stops energy from your transducers being dissipated through vibrations, delivering every ounce of power and impact exactly where it should be. The result is a high-output sound with exceptional clarity and definition.

Hook it up

It doesn't matter what it is. The SRM550's integrated 2-channel mixer will let you connect it. Microphones, instruments, media players, and more. They'll all work seamlessly thanks to Mackie's intelligent Wide-Z™ inputs and ultra-wide gain ranges. Plus, a handy XLR thru connector lets you send your signal out to other speakers. You can choose to send the entire mix, or just channel 1 with the push of a button.

There's also some intuitive sound tools built in for optimising your sound. Four different speaker modes let you get the most out of your speaker for your current application.

PA Speaker mode offers full-range performance, providing mid-range clarity to help vocals cut through with ease.

DJ Speaker mode adds a bit more bass and treble emphasis, whilst holding back the mids ever so slightly, making it ideal for music playback.

Soloist Speaker mode rolls off the low frequencies to prevent unwanted thumps, whilst adding a boost to the mids and highs for that extra sparkle in your sound.

And Monitor Speaker mode rolls off the lows, and attenuates your signal around 2kHz, providing maximum gain before feedback for hassle-free stage monitoring.

Finally, you can use the integrated Automatic Feedback Destroyer to keep your signal clean and clear. All it takes is a single button push, and the SRM550 will do the rest. No more nasty feedback ruining your performance.

Worried you'll break it?

Don't be. Because you won't. Mackie are renowned for their 'Built-Like-A-Tank' construction, and every SRM loudspeaker is built that way. The SRM550's robust all-wood (Poplar) cabinet and tough steel grille are capable of withstanding the demanding nature of life on the road. The cab's substantial internal bracing adds that natural, solid feel to your sound, as well as ensuring that your speaker can withstand constant use. Combined with premium components and intelligent protection technology, you can be sure that your loudspeaker will keep on going. Night after night, year after year.
