LOUDSPEAKER

SRM450v2
The Mackie SRM450v2 is a full-range, portable, powered
loudspeaker system providing high-output, ultra-wide
dispersion and low-distortion performance in a compact,
lightweight design. Two Fast Recovery™ amplifiers
independently power a 12-inch lightweight woofer and a
precision titanium compression driver. Mackie’s
sophisticated Active electronics provide phase correction,
crossover, time correction, equalization and protection
circuitry.

A heat-treated titanium compression driver with multi-cell

aperture directs pristine highs through an exponential high-
frequency waveguide, allowing for ultra-wide dispersion.
This allows the SRM450v2 to deliver clear, smooth sound to
audience members up to 45° off axis.

The 12-inch lightweight woofer provides a greater magnetic FEATURES:
