Detailed product description
The ultracompact Mackie SRM350 v2 Active Speaker is a live sound powerhouse. The SRM350 v2 whips live sound into complete submission, giving you more control over your shows than ever before. Thanks to its all-new design—from adding new amps and transducers to a new switching power supply—the active Mackie SRM350 v2 surpasses the performance of the original SRM350 to deliver pure studio monitor sound at more powerful, full-on loudspeaker levels. And the SRM350 v2 is also even lighter than before, making it ultra-portable. Even though it's a complete redesign from the inside out, the Mackie SRM350 v2 speaker retains a musician-friendly price tag. The "SRM" Stands for Sound Reinforcement Monitor Over a decade ago, Greg Mackie and a dedicated team of engineers set out to create a portable loudspeaker that could deliver studio monitor sound quality. Unlike a relatively small, acoustically controlled studio where the "sweet spot" is well defined, live venues vary greatly, and most are far from acoustically balanced. Despite the challenges, after two years of extensive research and development, the first Mackie Sound Reinforcement Monitor was born—a loudspeaker that truly lived up to its name. Today the SRM350 v2 continues the SRM350's tradition of studio monitor sound quality—and trumps it—to deliver sound that makes any venue seem like a well-tuned studio. Ultra-Wide Dispersion Undoubtedly you've been to a show where the sound is all over the map. For instance, when you stand in front of the band, it sounds okay, but move a little to your left or right and all of a sudden you've got mud in your ears. When the Mackie SRM350 v2 loudspeakers are on stage, no matter where you stand, you hear sound with impeccable stereo imaging, depth of field, and definition— all at full-on loudspeaker levels. This is due to the SRM350 v2's wide dispersion pattern, which is achieved through its High Frequency waveguide. Professional Grade Transducers The Mackie SRM350 v2 sounds even better than the original monitor, in part, because of its premium transducers. The new 10" neodymium woofer has less mass and quicker response which provides incredibly punchy response from such a small loudspeaker. It is much lighter than a traditional ceramic magnet based transducer as well. Additionally, it's titanium compression driver provides sparkle and clarity beyond the original design to keep it's characteristic sound in line with it's big brother. The acoustic gurus out at EAW spent months and months tweaking these custom-designed transducers so that the Mackie SRM350 v2 would deliver the best sound possible in a small format box. Super-low distortion thanks to Mackie's own Class-D, Fast Recovery Amplification With its combination of Class D topology and Fast Recovery circuitry, the SRM350 v2 operates with incredible efficiency, and delivers much more power and clarity. With this Class D Fast Recovery amplification, the SRM350v2 handles maximum volume—and associated heat—with ease, so there's no unwanted noise or thermal problems. Even after hours of sustained use at near-peak levels, your sound remains clean and your SRM350v2 keeps cool. Legendary Active Electronics In a passive loudspeaker setup, an external amplifier is connected to a passive crossover inside the speaker, which distributes frequencies to the transducers. Because power amps and transducers vary widely in sound and quality, trying to match the right power amp with the right speaker can be challenging, especially if you're not a professional acoustic technician or rolling in cash so you can hire one. Mackie's proven Active design does all the work for you. With the SRM350 v2, you get a complete loudspeaker system, with complex electronics and carefully chosen components, all precisely tuned and tweaked to work together. T
