The Thump Your Setup Craves
While the 1,400-watt-powered, 18-inch Mackie Thump18Sv4 supplies enough low end to rattle the rafters and shake the floorboards of any club, its professional design matches brains with brawn for a subwoofer inspired by versatility and force. Showcasing a multi-voice High Pass Mode for ideal integration with your Mackie loudspeakers, you can tailor your low-end sound to complement the size of your speakers and venue, with a set of balanced Full Range and High Pass outputs as well as a variable crossover for further control. Fortified against transient spikes and thermal damage courtesy of Peak and RMS limiting, the Mackie Thump18Sv4 keeps the bass pumping and the party going, making it a permanent fixture in your gigging setup.
Hear and feel your music
The Thump18Sv4 boasts an 18-inch woofer powered by a 1,400-watt amplifier, capable of producing frequencies down to 25Hz for a response that’s felt just as much as it’s heard. Mackie’s Thump series of loudspeakers and subwoofers has long been among the most popular in Sweetwater’s inventory, and the Thump18Sv4 carries on this legacy. Indeed, it's among the loudest, lowest, and cleanest gigging solutions in its class.
Optimized for Thump loudspeakers
While the Thump18Sv4 is compatible with many PA systems, it performs best when paired with its Mackie Thump loudspeaker brethren. The Thump18Sv4’s multi-voice High Pass Mode bolsters the relationship, allowing you to dial in the ideal sub sound to complement your Thump 12, Thump 15, or Thump Go speakers. Additionally, Variable High Pass Mode lets you manually set your crossover, tailoring your low end to suit your system and venue. On that note, High Pass and Full Range balanced outputs, a variable Gain knob, and a Phase switch ensure that your low end is as focused and leveled as possible.
Designed for long-term use
Mackie clearly intended the Thump18Sv4 to go the distance, as evidenced by the thoughtful safety features it includes. First, Peak limiting catches potentially dangerous transient spikes that could cause your driver to become over-extended, thus preventing mechanical damage. Second, RMS limiting keeps your subwoofer’s temperature under control during multi-hour use, preventing the voice coil from overheating. Together, they ensure you get the signature Mackie sound every time you set up.
