great review. I currently use an older pair of alto pro wireless ts115w and am looking to now upgrade. Would these make a worthwhile upgrade? mind you, i still want to stay in the budget 15inch space; ( I may even consider 12" speakers) . One feature i like on the TS115W isthe ability to stream wireless bluetooth to the speakers and also use the monitor out to drive in my case, an external 18" subwoofer when i have to play in somewhat larger venues. Can i do this with the 215XT? I read somewhere this was missing on the new TS4 line from ALTO so i will not consider those

I just got a pair of used Mackie Thump 212's, probably about a year old. I took them out in the back yard last weekend and cranked them and was amazed. I don't think I heard any distortion or limiter kick in at a moderately loud volume. Obviously, they have plastic cabinets and there are some odd resonances (a 250hz null), but otherwise they sound amazing. I still don't like plastic cabinets, but I get what I paid for.

Very helpful review. Convinced me to buy the 215XT's. I have another question, though. Currently, doing children's musicals, we use a CD player that stops after every song and cues the next in the playlist. If I upgrade to the 215xt's and an Onyx mixer, I'd like to go digital with the music. Do you know of any app that will play a single cut, stop, and cue for the next? I've looked and look and can't find one. I'm guessing that that feature is embedded in some other, more complex, app, but I have yet to find it.

@nicholassmerk 14 дней назад

Rip your CDs and encode all your music as FLAC and play them back off your favorite portable device. I'd recommend a Linux laptop and USB DAC. I use a FX-Audio DAC-X6, which works well if you don't have to drive a long cable. I'm looking and see a Rhythmbox plugin named "StopAfterCurrentTrack" (I prefer Linux on my personal computers). I would personally try that. Windows computers have too many issues to use in production environments (you'll get stuck upgrading or crashing in the middle of something). Also, get the standard 215's. You probably don't need the XT feature set. Most of the extra features beyond the gain control are gimmicky.

Hello! We purchased 2 Thump 215xt for a fitness studio sound system. We have LOTS of problems with the Bluetooth and are wondering if it’s b/c we have so many devices connecting/disconnecting to the speakers (14 instructors each with their own iPhone or android). Do you think this could be the problem? Some days and for multiple days, it connects quickly and effortlessly for each instructor. Others days, absolutely not! I called tech support and they gave me instructions on how to hard reset. Sometimes hard reset needs to be done multiple times before it will connect again. (We have an aux cord for those days that it’s being difficult). Looking for any suggestions, feedback, solutions. Thanks

@TheDJsGuru 4 месяца назад

Can you connect the Mackie to tv? Trying to get these speakers with a good excuse with wife . Thanks

@DJSwitchPDX Год назад

For the price, I would recommend some decent home theater speakers for watching TV instead of pro PA speakers. These have dedicated line channels, so hooking them up to a TV source is super easy, but with the noise floor and the amount of throw these have, they're way better suited for professional audio applications. If you need a nice set of home speakers, check out The Sevens or The Nines by Klipsch. They're going to sound much better in your home for around the same price.

@richardparsons1312 Год назад

Hey dude how does the sound quality compare between the XT and the BST?

@DJSwitchPDX Год назад

Hey @richardparsons1312 thanks for watching! I'm personally very happy with the quality of both largely thanks to their modern DSP, I think comparing the two I have isn't a fair fight because the 15s hit lower and harder than the 12s. That's just simple physics -- bigger cone means more surface area which means more bump. If I had a pair of the older 12s and the newer 12s side by side, I bet it would be pretty close.

@vanv Год назад

I boughtt the Thump215s (not the BT capable ones, just the standard), and have experienced some frsutrations. The sound quality is clear and the deep is is great. My only complaint is the noise floor. When I power my pair of Thumps on, they have an unpleasantly high white noise hiss coming from them that is audible 15 feet away. When music is played it does fade away, but even with NO audio input into them at all they still have a quite loud white noise hiss or noise floor. I have tried working with turning down channel 1, and also the main output amplification, but even with both set at zero the hiss is still present. Is there anyway to fix this? I tried an affordable power conditioner from my outlet as well, and that didnt help. Please let me know if there is any solutions to this! This unfortunately is a big enough of an issue for me that I really wish would not have been the case. Thanks!!

@skunkeyebandit Год назад

Seems more connection problem rather than speakers

@vanv Год назад

@@skunkeyebandit Called Mackie, and they told me yes it was the noise floor. The white noise hiss is due to them cutting corners in the parts for the amplifier. If you are okay with a little bit of a hiss when powered on then these are still great speakers, but if you want absolutely no noise when they are turned on (like me) then I would recommend spending a little more money and buying something nicer.

@vanv Год назад

Yes, you have to use stereo via XLR cables. The sub is incompatible with bluetooth / wireless mode

@DJSwitchPDX Год назад

Hey there! Yeah, you just need to follow the signal path. If your Bluetooth is connected to the speaker, it'll only play through that speaker, so you need to connect the Bluetooth device to something farther up the signal chain. A mixer with a Bluetooth channel or a BT receiver plugged into a mixer that is THEN plugged into a sub and finally to the main should get you the full range output you're looking for. Good luck!

I previously ran my practice kit though a QSC K10 and it sounded great, but once I added the Ksub, it was night and day. I do NOT want to use a sub for this use case so I wanted a much bigger woofer than just a 10". The thump of the kick is what I'm looking for so the Thump 15 seems like it'll do the trick.

I actually have two DCM Tower speakers with 12-in woofers along with two sealed 12-in subwoofer boxes with mid-grade 12-in Kenwood car subwoofers in each box wired together to be a 4 ohm impedance with a crown amp.

@DJSwitchPDX Год назад

@@racerx2580 Yes. Bigger in your case isn't necessarily better. I would start looking into room treatment, bass traps, and other ways to control your environment. You already have plenty of sound, you just need to control it, and louder speakers isn't the answer, especially for a racing sim setup. Look into studio-grade foam solutions, and start looking into isolating anything that isn't bolted down to eliminate any extraneous vibrations or bounceback. With the right room treatment, you'd be surprised how good a $200 pair of speakers can sound compared to a $1000 set in an untreated environment.

Essentially RMS is half of what the rated wattage is. But even then with budget stuff you could probably half it again and that would be what you would be getting at close to full volume.

Hi Joshua, For any technical support/service outside of the US and Canada, Mackie's website suggests contacting your local distributor.

Can you only link 2 speakers??

@DJSwitchPDX Год назад

I believe you can only do two channels through their built-in wireless link, which you can control through the app on a smart phone. If you wire them using the XLR out, you can chain as many as you want.
