Mackie Thump vs Thrash | Entry-Level Speaker Comparison

The Mackie Thrash and Thump powered PA speakers are the most affordable in Mackie's speaker lineup. How do they compare, and is the Thump worth the price difference? That's the question I try and answer in this video where I go in-depth on the most important specifications and features you need to know about between these two popular models.

hi, I've been using a pair of thrash for about a year, and they sound really good, they're very loud, I've had no problems at parties with 100 people and medium-large venues, I recommend them to those who want to start and to those who don't need very high definition audio.
PS: for bass, placed near a wall, they hit really hard 😉

My band uses a pair of thrash 215s for mains. They are a bit lacking in the low end. But paired with a set of 18 subs the system sounds great. We also use thump 12a for monitors.

The bottom end really drops off on the Thrash, definitely prefer the Thump!

[santiago-kqnd]

Thanks for the review. Thumps are great for small/medium size gigs and for beginners. Also great back up speakers or for extra fill 👍🏼

[cesarbaron]

Money wise the thrash 215 is in the same range of the thump 212. Would you prefer the thrash being a bigger speaker or still is better the thump being smaller in size?

[silverfoxpa]

Was just looking to upgrade from an entry Vonyx system and was unsure which to get. Watched this video and decided to put the extra cash in and go for the Thump....

[martinhomola]

Do you think it is okay to get 1piece of thump 212 if I allready have 1 piece of thrash 212(not a pair)? For a rock band rehersal room. For vocals. I assume it would bring some benefit with 3dB SPL difference, and some more clarity for vocals with thump. Is it even OK to combine 1 and 1, signal runs from the mix to left and right main output.

Are the mackie thump 15 super loud and crisp? Just wondering how well they would sound with my current 4 sound town 18 inch active subs. I am using 2 proreck 15 inch loudspekers now and they just do not have that crisp sound once the volume is really jacked up

[thethesaxman]

Right now I’m looking for a pair of speakers to use as monitor wedges. I feel like for this application, a lot of what makes the Thumps better wouldn’t really apply. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

[andypaultaylor]

Hi, I'm looking for a pair of active monitor speakers for our new rehearsal room. We've been using some Mackies for our guitars, backing tracks and vocal, but bass guitar was forbidden. Can a bass signal (running trough a Darkglass modeling pedal) do any damages to either one of these speakers?

[johnkaronwi]

I want to buy the Thrash 212 as stage monitors, will it work well for me?

[josephmaxwell]

I Decided to buy Mackie SRM 212 class.. Is it far better than these speakers?

[walasfilms]

Hi brother, what would you say it’s the better between the thumb and the thumb bst?

[yan]

is there a big different between the thrash and thump? planning to go with the thump 215 xt.

[HumbleHeartMinistry]

Which one would be better for a live band, not for dj stuff?

[Red_Viper]

Hey, I'm a drummer and I need a speaker to amplifiy my electronic drumset. I play in a band. We rehearse in a small living room. Are these speakers a good option?

[jamesdial]

Just ordered 2 thump 212’s have additional speakers to use though

[lizandrohernandez]

Can you do a review on Rockville DJ PA speakers? I heard they are good.

[vinstrumentals]

I'm currently using an SRM350v3 as a keyboard amp. I've had some trouble with it lately. I'm looking for a back up amp, would the Thump 212 do the job as well?

[Zechariah]

Would the Trash be good as floor monitors?
