SRM350 Loudspeaker by Mackie

[gro...@guitargearheads.com]

When you first start gigging, you quickly begin to realize that sound
dynamics are an incredibly difficult beast to tame. Different
performance spaces and crowd sizes result in dramatically different
acoustic properties from gig to gig - or even within the same gig as
people float in and out. You may find that your standard guitar
amplifier sounds great at sound check at 10 or 25 feet away and fills
the empty room with sweet tone. Suddenly, people are milling about
having a good time dancing, singing and talking. Now the people in the
front can hear you but people in the back just hear a muddled bunch of
noise - mostly low level frequencies. This problem expands
exponentially as you add bass guitars, keyboards, drums, and vocals to
the mix.

At this point most bands realize that it is time to invest in some
serious sound reinforcement equipment like mixers and loudspeakers
specifically designed to improve fidelity from the front to the back of
the room. As many of you already know, Mackie is one of the foremost
names in sound reinforcement and studio equipment, and they have sent
us the SRM350 2-Way Active Loudspeaker to review for you.
