Front Fill A+++

I am using this as a full-range, front fill speaker on the front of the stage between the stacks in a large and loud club-size PA. This cab is great in that application.

Super light, perfect personal monitor

I was looking for a personal monitor and was about to purchase a Mackie SRM 150 until I found out about this arriving in early 2011. Anyways, this speaker is awesome. Super loud and small enough to conserve stage space. The EQ option nice too. This thing is also ridiculously light. You can literally biceps curl it haha. If you are looking for a personal monitor, I highly recommend this one. Not planning on using it as a main but it's nice to know if one of our main's ever crap out then we could get by using this little guy.

Cant beat it for the price.....

great choice for Dj's who are on a budget. Great Sound quality very good low end and crisp high's. They are SUPER light wieght My 6 Yr old daughter can pick one up lol. They are perfect for small to medium size events plenty of volume A++ for mackie on this one. BTW The 12's sound much better for electronic style music than the 15's for me, much better booming low end.

Great Sounding

This Unit sounds great, however noticed some recent distortion, using this as a monitor "wedge" ... Seemed to clear up with some adjustments - Going to keep an eye on it with further use.
The 15" version sounds slightly better but overall this is a great unit.

Does exactly what I need it to do.

I'm no expert and I don't have much to compare to but it works great for what I need. I've never had to turn the volume over half yet and I've used it out doors. Since I don't have a sound board, I especially like that it has a built in eq. Can't wait till I have enough money to buy another one.

Work great for monitors!

We are using them for monitors at our church and they work great. Clean sound, plenty of volume and easy to use. Would have liked the option for a 1/4" input, but we just switched out cords and plugs over to XLR so no problem. Easy to use and simple!

Mackie THUMP 12A rocks

I bought one of these speakers to use as a monitor, with the Bose L1 II system one of the groups I play with currently use. The Thump 12A is working great as a monitor.
Recently, we had a freak rain shower come up on an outside venue. Before we could take the PA down completely, the Bose crapped out due to some moisture on the array connectors. So, I turned the Thump around and used it alone, for a main. It functioned flawlessly and had plenty of 'THUMP" to do the job. Im going to buy another to have a second monitor, and to use them instead of the Bose system if we need a back up.
I highly recommend these speakers and you can trust the Mackie brand, as usual, to do what its advertised to do.

Good budget priced speaker but with a caution!

It's the way to go for both mains and monitors if you are budget conscious. You sacrifice the clarity of the Mackie 450's or QSC K12's but at much less money. One caution: the power cords will vibrate out, particularly in the wedge (monitor) position and it is pain to tape them in each set-up and take down. I wish that Mackie would fix the problem with a lock system like the QSC's!
