Mackie SRM150: Hey, Mackie! Reviewer Available!
I frequent a few small venues, where my normal Public Address System (ahem, PA) is just a little bulky. I also take the train –Amtrak- to some of these gigs. As such a person, I would love to try the Mackie SRM150 out. It generates 100W, has three inputs, and a 5.25″ speaker, the thought of which I’m growing accustomed to. I would likely use my own mixer, but this thing would fit in my gig bag/suitcase, and weighs less than 8 pounds. That’s slightly over half a stone, and I could handle that.
Strangely, it is officially billed as “Mackie SRM150 5 Inch Compact Active PA System”. The Mackie site calls it “a powerful, great-sounding 3-channel PA system”. All of their example diagrams, however, show the thing used as a personal monitor connected to one of their larger front-of-house powered speakers.
Of course, no one will just rent or lend me one for a test drive, so, I may just have to buy one and hope it works.
Unless… Mackie! Give me a call!
