Today's will be the Maiden Voyage with Mackie SRM 150 & S-950 Arranger KB combo I've already played this room with just the S-950 alone so this can only add to the sound in a small package,.....I picked up one of these cool little powered speakers for my very small gigs like I will doing today a small luncheon with about 10-15 people.The versatility of this speakers system is just what I need,...so may things can be done with it combined with the speakers of the Yamaha S-950 in a small room will be more then enough...watch the video demo.



I will report back l8tr...

carry on

MACKIE SRM 150

good luck Donny we are always looking for the best sound on stage .

Thanx Ron sometimes the big guns are just over kill on a gig...this should work out fine in this situation....and it easily mounts on a Mic Stand also....... I know guys using two of these little wonders with much success too...dont let the size fool you.

I've a pair of these for monitoring on stage in a band situation.

TBH, I wouldn't use them for FOH. They deliberately (because lows for monitors is not a good idea!) have next to no lows, and aren't really flat by any stretch of the imagination.

I doubt they will sound better than the built-ins on your S950, but I'll be interested in hearing your experiences.

Unless I added a small sub, I wouldn't use mine, that's for sure.

Wrong again Diki ...I just got home from the gig and the SRM150 sounded fantastic in the small glass room atrium I was playing in,.....it filled the room just right for the small amount of people there ...I was very impressed and will definitely add it to my arsenal.....it gave the right amount of projection I thought it would....a very kool piece of gear.
And my back thanks me too .....bringing the DXR12's into a room little this and a few others I perform at would have been such overkill it ain't funny...this little gem on a mic stand is the ticket. It's a keeper for sure.

Did you look at the Behringer version (B205D) of the same thing? Less expensive. Used 4 of them for monitors on stage with the band. This is one thing Behringer got right.

I always thought stage monitors pretty much emphasized mid and high range sounds, and lows were almost non-existent. At least all the monitors I had many years ago were that way.

Donny, why not just stick with one sound system that does it all? That way you can either turn it down, or turn it up, depending on the venue. Makes perfectly good sense to me, a lot less expensive, no adjustments to make after the initial setup, it's a win-win situation.

Gary... I think I have to agree with Donny on this one ... we know he has a LARGE set-up for his BIG gigs, so if he can use a small monitor to add 'just enough' additional sound for small gigs, why not ... less to carry and set up ...sounds right to me ...
Perhaps if Donny liked the BOSE system he wouldn't have to be concerned about this, but that's why they make vanilla and chocolate, and BOSE and Mackies and etc. ...

Yes sparky I saw it but I was always a Mackie guy......Behringer anything doesn't do it for me ... they might look the same but the SRM 150's are different in quality.

You nailed it Tony......
besides I don't like BOSE anything sorry learned that the hard way.
