The Mackie Thump215 powered loudspeaker is the next evolution of the best-selling series that immediately won over scores of DJs, bands and singer-songwriters—as well as sound engineers for houses of worship, theaters and corporate events—with high-performance features and affordable prices. Mackie has upgraded the entire Thump line with a meticulous redesign of power capability, woofers and drivers, gig-optimizing controls and additional speaker options. The full range now includes Thump 12" and 15" models, enhanced ThumpXT variations (also in 12" and 15" speaker sizes), and two Thump subwoofers (15" and 18"). A single 2-channel Thump215 can get the sound out into the audience for DJs, solo artists, duos, instrumentalists and lecturers. Add a second Thump215—and the appropriate mixer—and you can power the live performance of an entire band. An onboard feedback eliminator guards against squeals, shrieks and howling, and a handy music-ducking mode automatically reduces the output level of channel 2 when channel 1 sees an input signal. There’s no need to adjust your playback system to make on-mic announcements. The Thump215 looks great, but the practical, angled cabinet isn’t simply for style. The design allows the Thump215 to see double duty as a main or monitor speaker.

Power to Spare

To ensure plenty of headroom—whether you’re pumping up the groove for a wedding reception, wildly strumming an acoustic guitar during a crescendo, or keeping vocals upfront and present over a band’s instrumental mix—the upgraded Thump215 now delivers 1,400 watts of Class-D power at a maximum sound-pressure level of 129dB. More power means that every nuance from every instrument and vocal can be accurately reproduced with no audible distortion, gritty signal compression, or mushy tone. The two-way Thump215 includes a heavy-duty 1" compression driver and a high-performance 15" woofer that produce a balanced soundscape across the system’s 40Hz–20kHz frequency response.

No Tears Transport

Few musicians look forward to lugging around heavy and unwieldy speaker cabinets. Less setup stress, the more energy available for your performance. The Thump215 weighs just 34.8 lb., and it provides two large handles for carrying the speaker as a solo act, as well as other easy-grip surfaces if your bandmates want to lend a hand after a tiring gig. Mackie’s Built-Like-A-Tank construction always has your back if fatigue ever brings on a case of the dropsies, or even if an impatient band mate knocks the cabinet off the stage while moving their gear.

Can’t Stump the Thump

Whether you’re a DJ or band requiring a club-conquering stereo system, or a singer-songwriter who needs just one Thump215 speaker to cover a cafe, the redesigned Thump series offers an unbeatable fusion of power, portability, reliability, signal processing and affordability.
