These are great speakers to start off with and even keep as a reliable backup. I know people clown on Mackies but not all of us can afford $1000 a piece for 1 powered speaker. I’ll take 2 Mackies for $700 any day👍🏽 good review.

I agree brodie ! For a beginner, as long as we provide sound, our clients will be happy, it's rare that they nit pick on sound quality, I think these are great to have & start off with ! thanks for the comment ! 🙌🏽

Not bad for just beginning. 3 additions that will help you immediately. 1. Mixer I recommend at least a 8 channel. Do not got into 4 or 6 channels. You will eventually need more channels for more mics. I learned this the hard way. Spend once spend wisely. I would say the Mackie profx3 10 Channel. It's about a $200 investment. There is usually a rebate. Drops it down to about $150. This well help your setup tremendously. 2) Get a second speaker. Your first won't have to work so hard. 3) Rockville Speaker stands. Hydraulic assist. A pair is about $150. Will also support speakers nicely. I have a pair of SRM Speakers. They lift them like nothing.

Nice review. When you are connecting your Dj controller to the speaker, do you find the highs on the speaker to be a little too much even with the the EQ knobs on the controller set in the middle?

@koproductions8266

Nice new speaker man, can I reccomend the "Gravity" steel speaker stands they are very sturdy and easy to open and close. Infact they are also green and black so they will match your Mackie color theme.

I love the sound of my two thumps 15A. However, if only switched on, with all volumes at the minimum and no other cables connected yet, they make a quite loud hissing noise / white noise. Is that normal or to be solved somehow? If you play music of course you don't hear it anymore

You sure can the trick is to have the speakers higher than the people and if you can angle it down a bit even better the reason being to stop the sounds from being blocked by the people in the front. You definitely will need subs for 200 people

I have 2 of the QSC K10 K2's 2k watt Speakers and i've been using them for many years and they're pretty frickin awesome speakers still but i am thinking of sometime at somepoint on upgrading to the Mackie Thump15A's 1,300 watt speakers ( 2 of them ) and i hope it is worth buying them. i wanted to buy them but i was like i'ma just tryout the QSC speakers for awhile and then maybe upgrade to the Mackie Thump15A's at somepoint on. I have a Peavey Mic and Peavey PV12A Audio mixer and also a Numark NVii DJ Controller. 2 Rockville tripod stands and i did used to have 2 800 watt Rockville 15's for awhile before i upgraded tothe QSC's. They did sound pretty frickin good too. I still have the 2 QSC K10. K2 2,000 watt speakers. Bass Amp i think is the best setting for strong treble and mids and bass. I don't like the other settings but i have tested them. The Bass Amp setting and the Studio Monitor settings i like da most.
