Product Details
Now, with the SRM450v2, live sound is whipped completely into submission, giving you more control over your shows than ever. Thanks to its all-new design—from adding new amps and transducers to a new lightweight power supply—the SRM450v2 surpasses the performance of the original SRM450 to deliver pure studio monitor sound at more powerful, full-on loudspeaker levels. And Mackie kept it affordable, too—even though the SRM450v2 is a complete redesign from inside out, they have retained the musician-friendly price tag. With the SRM450v2, live never sounded so good …or behaved so well.

Features:
• 2-way bi-amplified, optimized Active loudspeaker system
• High-output, titanium dome compression driver
• Neodymium long-throw low frequency transducer with 3-inch voice coil
• Servo Feedback controlled woofer for tight low-end punch
• 300W class-D, Fast Recovery LF amp / 100W HF amp
• Ultra-wide, smooth dispersion via HF waveguide
• Ultra-wide, smooth dispersion via multi-cell horn aperture and HF waveguide
• Built-in phase accurate 24dB Linkwitz-Riley electronic crossover
• Electronic time correction, phase alignment and EQ for studio quality sound
• Mic/line input and pass-thru connector
• Lightweight for ultimate portability (40 lbs)
• Flyable, Pole mountable, Floor wedge-able

“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 Sound Reinforcement Monitor was born—a loudspeaker that truly lived up to its name. 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.

Ultra-Wide Dispersion
Undoubtedly you’ve been to a show where the sound is all over the map—stand in front of the band, it sounds okay, but move a little to Mackie's left or right and all of a sudden you’ve got mud in Mackie's ears. When the SRM450v2 loudspeakers are on stage, no matter where you stand, you hear sound with impeccable stereo imaging, depth of field and definition—at full-on loudspeaker levels. This is due to the SRM450v2’s wide dispersion pattern, which is achieved through its High Frequency waveguide.

Stunning Bass via Servo Feedback Controlled, all new Neodymium Woofer
Many portable loudspeakers produce lows that lack substance—they just don’t have it in ‘em to give you that chest-pounding punch. But the SRM450v2 delivers astonishingly deep and defined bass frequencies. In fact, it outperforms the original SRM450, which was renowned for its ability to deliver real low-down sound. That’s thanks to the SRM450v2’s servo feedback technology combined with its all-new neodymium woofer and 3-inch voice coil.

Based on Mackie's award-winning HR824mk2 studio monitor technology, the servo feedback damping electronic circuit within the SRM450v2 “locks” the woofer in place with the positive and negative outputs of the amplifier. This creates a solid direct-coupling that allows the SRM450v2 to deliver extremely deep bass from a small cabinet. And the new neodymium woofer’s magnet is lighter in mass, therefore faster than ceramics, giving the SRM450v2’s bass more punch. The new longer 3-inch voice coil allows the woofer to handle heat more efficiently, so it produces a consistently full dynamic range—even at maximum output. So you get full, thumping, detailed lows, even after long hours of use at near-peak volumes.

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 SRM450v2 operates with incredible efficiency, and delivers much more power and clarity. With this “Class D Fast Recovery amplification,” as we’ve lovingly (and creatively) dubbed the technology, the SRM450v2 handles maximum volume—and associated heat—with ease, so there’s no unwanted noise, and no thermal problems. Even after hours of sustained use at near-peak levels, your sound remains clean and your SRM450v2 keeps cool.

Legendary Active Electronics
With Mackie's SRM450v2, you get a complete loudspeaker system, with complex electronics and carefully chosen components, all precisely tuned and tweaked to work together. The result is a loudspeaker with phenomenal sound quality and power, that’s completely plug-and-play, no EQ needed.

Phase-Accurate Electronic Crossovers
Featuring separate Linkwitz-Reilly 24dB-per-octave crossover circuits for the LF woofer and HF compression driver, Mackie's electronic crossover circuitry effectively splits input signal frequencies into highs and lows for the transducers, and eliminates unwanted phasing issues. As a result, you get optimum imaging, depth of field and definition. A closed system like an SRM350v2, where the design engineers know what amplifier and transducer will be used, makes this possible. In powered or passive setups, keeping signal in phase is difficult to achieve. And when the signal is not in phase, you get inconsistent sound with lots of muddy artifacts that change the listening experience as you walk around the room.

Final Tuning Equalization
The last tool in the Mackie Active electronics belt are final tuning EQ filters. Once time alignment and phase correction are controlled and optimized, Mackie's engineering gurus at EAW use very precise, yet mild, built-in EQ filters to do the final tuning of all Mackie Active loudspeakers. They have years of experience tuning not only individual multi-way loudspeakers, but also complex loudspeaker systems such as line arrays, so you know the right ears are on the job. And a little goes a long way—thanks to their magic touch, you get unparalleled clarity thru the mids, brilliance in the highs, ample punch in the low end, and the flattest, most accurate frequency response available

Built-in Protection Circuitry for Long Life
We know our Active loudspeakers are pushed hard—often to, or beyond, the limit. That’s why we have reliable protection circuitry built in to every one. The SRM450v2 employs a built-in limiter for less distortion at peak levels, and an automatic sliding high pass filter to give you that little bit extra volume when the crowd demands more. And thanks to the advanced technology of its power supply and Class-D amp topology, the SRM450v2 is greater than 90 percent efficient—more of the power from your outlet goes straight to the transducer, without the power supply and amp giving off loads of heat. Less heat means better performance, and longer life.

Versatile, Portable, Tough
When designing the SRM450v2, Mackie considered every angle. From every angle is just how you can position it, too—pole-mount it from the bottom, fly it vertically or horizontally via its optional hanging bracket, or use it as a wedge monitor. With all this flexibility, it’s the most versatile portable Active loudspeaker around. And now moving it into place is easier than ever. Weighing in at just 26 pounds you’ll have more than enough strength left over to deliver an electrifying performance after loading in. Plus, the SRM450v2 retains its rugged, Mackie durability, thanks to the polypropylene cabinet.
