Does the SRM150 work as a personal monitor?

Yes. It can be mounted on a mic stand and angled at the performer, which is how many owners use it for vocals or acoustic guitar.

Can I plug a guitar straight into it?

Yes. Channel 1 has an instrument switch that lets you plug a guitar or bass into the combo jack without a separate DI box.

Does it supply phantom power for condenser mics?

Yes. Channels 1 and 2 provide true 48V phantom power over the XLR inputs.

How many inputs does it have?

Three channels: two combo XLR/1/4-inch mic/line inputs and one stereo input for a CD or MP3 player.

Is it loud enough for a small band?

It suits solo acts and quiet rooms. Owners say it runs out of volume with a full band or in loud settings.

Can I connect a music player?

Yes. Channel 3 is a dedicated stereo input for MP3, CD or tape players.

What reviewers say

3 / 533 ratings

Owners like the all-in-one convenience and portability, but the 3-out-of-5 average reflects real frustration. Complaints center on thin bass, limited volume and units that failed.

What people mention

SetupPraisedThe built-in mixer and combo jacks make it quick to set up without extra gear.
PortabilityPraisedOwners like that it is small and light and mounts on a mic stand.
ReliabilityCriticisedSome owners report units that failed or developed faults over time.

About the Mackie SRM150 Powered PA Speaker System

The Mackie SRM150 is a compact powered PA speaker with a built-in 3-channel mixer. It has a 5.25" full-range, weather-resistant neodymium driver developed by EAW. A 150-watt Class-D amplifier drives it, and it produces 120dB SPL at 1 meter.

Channels 1 and 2 have Neutrik combo jacks that accept XLR or 1/4" TRS connections, with true 48V phantom power. Channel 1 also has an Instrument switch, so a guitar, bass or other Hi-Z instrument can plug in directly and work like a DI box. Channel 3 is a stereo input with dual RCA jacks for devices such as MP3, CD or tape players, and it has its own Level control.

The 3-band active EQ is centered at 100Hz, 2.5kHz and 12kHz for lows, mids and highs. Each band works independently and gives up to 15dB of boost or cut. The rear panel has a Thru jack for connecting a second SRM150 or an SRM450, or for sending a mic-level output to a front-of-house system. The Main input can receive monitor mixer signals or link more SRMs.
