anyone have any experience with Mackie SRM450s? Considering a pair of either this or Mackie Thump TH15A, for use as a mobile system for small events (>200ppl) looking for opinions/comparisons of both sets

What is the system going to be mainly used for? Live audio, playback, vocals only? Either way, the srm's are great value for money....much better than eons imho....and if you're using a separate sub, they will surprise you beyond belief!

[Kasey]

I find the thump lacks SPL. SRM sounds better than the EON G2, but I find they dont sound much different than the EON G3. Price WISE the SRM is a better buy IMHO. I find the JBL new EONs are wayyy over priced for the quality and power they put out.

On another note, I have a nice pair of active boxes to sell in the Miscellaneous section.

doh forget a small snake...just incase you hav to mic up a small stage

but i doubt...unless ur buying low end stuff


if ur going with medium range products...maybe 20-22k

[Samo]

thanks X_Factor; i forgot abt the snake..

hmm...so forget the JBl..lol.. how abt the Gemini self powered?
i'll chk these things...20k...this will hadda wait till xmas yes.

[silent_riot]

I prefer the Mackie a lot more to the JBL also. I haven't heard much JBL EONs, but I've never been impressed by one.

[Samo]

nice...thanks..weekend i goin hunting..

small to medium parties i would recommend the active 1515 (see my tops in the above pics). its a dual 15 full range sub with a comp driver runs u up to about $7500 a pc.
beauty with these boxes they are easy to hook up(cockpit straight to boxes no amp rack), got built in limiters (so u can run them at max without anything burning) and they play a complete bandwidth......

used 4 of these boxes at a wedding in paria suits (no subs eh) management shut we down around 9pm complaining bout bass too loud........

2 of these will get u by better than 4 monitors any day.

[izzy be]

why 2 systems?

Was wondering the same thing? Is it like dem long time injun wedding when it had two tassa side clashing, but nowadays instead is two DJ soundclashing?

Btw, anyone interested in a pair of DN-S5000 Denon players....considering selling mine to upgrade to the 4500’s. I have them from brand new, and they are in very good condition. PM for info.

how much are u sellin dem 4

I would love to stack one of these next to a jrx125 and hear the difference...i feel the b52 will kill the JBL..

[Kasey]

^^ I have a pair of JRX125 to sell. If u want, u can buy them, and try it out. In clarity, the JRX125 is one of the most accurate boxes I have ever heard. I have not yet heard a B52, so I cannot comment bout that. Looks deadly tho.

[jusjase44]

anyone use the new crown XLS? any idea on pricing?

Currently I got a 15" MBP with an i5 quad running Snow Leopard and Serato thru a ttm57 mixer, no issues thus far. I've got a buddy with a MBP 13" with an i3 Mac OS Lion running Serato thru a ttm57 mixer with no issues.
I know that Rane admits that Serato isn't fully compatable with lion as yet, but he has been running it for about 2 weeks with no problems.
I've never tried the SL1 so i have no experience with that box.
