Mackie SRM450/350 Goes Modern with 1,000W Power and Professional Digital Features

	Mackie SRM450 and SRM350 High-Definition portable powered loudspeakers.

Mackie announces an all-new, modern refresh of its industry mainstay portable loudspeakers -- the new SRM450 and SRM350 High-Definition portable powered loudspeakers. Featuring a powerful new 1,000W amp platform, upgraded sound quality, and a host of easy-to-use digital sound-shaping tools, the new SRM450 and SRM350 deliver the unparalleled ease-of-use, professional sound quality, and indestructible portability.

"The original SRM450 was the first active portable loudspeaker and, today, is still the most recognized speaker out there. SRM has always meant pro performance and sound quality that's easy to use at an incredible price," remarked Greg Young, Mackie product manager, "The new SRM450 and SRM350 continue this legacy, offering improved power, sound quality, and flexible tools perfect for any gig."

The all-new SRM450 and SRM350 both feature a new 1,000W amp platform paired with custom drivers, meeting the high-output demands of modern portable applications. Featuring two new easy-to-use audio tools, these new SRMs can simplify setup at the gig and produce results. Choose between four application-specific speaker modes, each essentially re-voicing the SRM to sound its best for the application at hand. Also built-in is an intelligent feedback destroyer that makes sound check easier than ever. At the push of a button, SRM instantly identifies and eliminates feedback using up to four narrow 1/16th octave filters. Both models now benefit from Mackie's HD audio processing, which combines patented acoustic correction DSP with optimization features like a precision crossover and driver time alignment and phase correction. The result is sound quality that is noticeably more open and natural than competitive designs. Application flexible, the SRM450 and SRM350 feature an integrated two-channel mixer with input-friendly Wide-Z inputs. Perfect for the singer/songwriter and more, just connect and easily mix multiple sources without the need for a separate mixer. Plus, with a wide range of mounting options and a rugged, lightweight polypropylene cabinet, SRM is durable and portable.

"Never before has this level of SRM power, sound quality, and ease of use been available in such a portable design. Plus, we lowered the price," concluded Young. "The power of SRM is now accessible to more people than ever before."
