Mackie’s latest offering for the PA market is the all-new SRM-Flex Portable Column PA System. Featuring an ultra-lightweight design, a full-featured six-channel digital mixer and wireless control and streaming, SRM-Flex is aimed at solo acts, small bands, presentations, events and DJs.
The modular design of SRM-Flex features a 10-inch woofer in the moulded cabinet base module that also contains the 1.3kW amplifier and built-in digital mixer. The three-piece tower houses a wide-dispersion array with six 2-inch HF drivers. This modular design allows the height of the mid and high frequencies to be easily changed to match the ear level of the audience.
The onboard six-channel digital mixer provides two mic/line inputs for microphones and instruments, and is a dedicated stereo channel with dual quarter-inch line inputs and a 3.5mm aux in/Bluetooth streaming channel. Channels 1 & 2 are equipped with individual two-band EQs and Reverb level controls with three reverbs to choose from. To tailor the entire system to your application, there are three voicing modes available at the push of a button. Connecting to a second SRM-Flex or house PA is easy via the professional XLR Mix Out.
Control is fast and easy, even mid-performance, thanks to physical controls for every critical adjustment. For even more freedom, the SRM-Flex Connect app allows wireless control from your iOS or Android device. The app not only provides the same control available on the SRM-Flex itself, but offers even more customisation like front LED and metering behaviour and presets.
‘Portability is a major factor with a portable PA, and SRM-Flex delivers,’ says Mackie Product Manager, Craig Reeves. ‘At under 30lb, the SRM Flex is easy to carry one handed, and it’s small size means it will fit easily into the trunk of your car – or even on the bus. SRM-Flex is incredibly easy to get up and running and sounding great. And with full physical controls plus complete wireless control, adjustments on the fly are stress-free.’
The Mackie SRM-Flex Portable Column PA System is available now at an MAP of US$999.99.
