What's up guys?! In this video I unbox the Mackie Thump 15A and get into some quick details about it. Another step into further enhancing my equipment in order for me to do more types of events. One day I promise I will get two speakers to make my setup more symmetrical and I didn’t manage my wires because I just wanted you guys to hear what it sounded like real quick. Thank you guys for watching!

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.

@koproductions8266 3 года назад

I definitely agree, the more gigs I do the more I realize I need all of those things lol soon enough as I do more gigs I’ll have more money to invest the right equipment 🙌🏽 thanks for the advice ! ✊🏽

@djsantiagornfl7264 2 года назад

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.

@koproductions8266 2 года назад

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 ! 🙌🏽

Get a small 6 channel mackie/Yamaha mixer to plug your speakers and microphones into and you'll notice a big difference.

@DJDynablend 3 года назад

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.

@koproductions8266 3 года назад

Ahh I just purchased a cheap proline speaker stand but that woulda been dope, when I get enough to put another speaker together I’ll invest in the matching stands, thanks for the tip bro !🙏🏽

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.

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 3 года назад

Thanks ! Honestly yea I do notice that the highs are a bit much, I sacrificed quality for power with these speakers just bc I wanted to be able to more versatile with my gigs & be able to handle 100 ppl if I needed to but it definitely clips

Hi, great video! Do you think 2 of those would hold up to150-200 people on an open air venue? Or would it require more a subwoofer?

@koproductions8266 2 года назад

I feel that the guests would definitely hear you but with that amount of people, a subwoofer is usually the safest way to go so that they can feel the music & not just hear it if that makes sense lol

@viperstinger77 2 года назад

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

@ernestosanchez4929 2 года назад

Yo quiero comprar 2 sumbs thump18s de esa marca y que me recomendarías , jalarian bien con 2 15s o con las 12s de la misma marca solo las quiero usar para uso personal

@koproductions8266 2 года назад

Depends on what you’re using it for, I personally found a big difference in quality between the 12s and the 15s so I’ll always advocate for the 15s, they’ll pair really well with a sub

@ewlke 2 года назад

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

@koproductions8266 2 года назад

Honestly I’m not too sure why it would do that, but at least it’s not doing that when the music is playing

@yan5362 Месяц назад

how is it as compared to thump 212 and 215 in terms of loudness and bass?

@koproductions8266 Месяц назад

I’ve never compared them but the 212 & 215 are much newer than this so I have to assume those have better clarity & bass

@Dj2knitro Год назад

The thumps are slightly above entry level speakers. They can do most if not all jobs for most mobile dj’s.

@koproductions8266 Год назад

I can agree with that statement, they’re no regular “Amazon speaker” for sure but it’s all relative, when compared to EV/QSC/JBL/RCF I feel it is on the lower end of the totem pole but a great value nonetheless 👍🏽
