Mackie Thump TH-15A 2-Way Powered Loudspeaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have now had my Mackies for about four months. For me they are perfect (so far).My partner and I have a "midi assisted" duo" and play small to medium size clubs each week. I have been using a pair if Behringer active 12 inch speakers on stands for a few years and a Peavey cabinet driven by a separate power amp. The lows were not really clear on the Peavey cabinet (with a JBL speaker in it) driven by a QSC amp. I am replaceing it with the Mackie Thumps. The lows are now very clear and it has quite a bit of power (more than I need right now).That eliminates carrying the heavy Peavey cabinet and the QSC power amp I was lugging around.
The Mackie is actually a bit lighter than my much smaller Behringer speakers. So far I am very pleased. A few weeks ago we played a very large room going 50/50 with a DJ who also used our system. We were playing for several hundred people (300-400). The Mackies worked great. No break up or distortion and I was pleased that I never had to turn them up more than half way. Great purchase at a great price.
(FYI Note: One reviewer wrote that "Mackie bought Tapco". Tapco stands for Technical Audio Products Company a company which was founded by Greg Mackie in 1969. In 1977 he left Tapco (which by then was part of Electro Voice) and started a another company Audio Control. Greg Mackie started Mackie Designs in 1988 and in 2003 Mackie also started making mixers under the old Tapco name again. The first mixer in 2003, was the Tapco 6306 which actually came out as "Tapco by Mackie". So, Mackie didn't buy Tapco (the name was no longer in use), Greg Mackie just started using his old company's name. So Tapco is designed and run today by the 1969 founder and designer of the original Tapco line.)
