How to Rig a Mackie SRM450

The Mackie SRM450 Active Sound Reinforcement Speaker is a powered personal address unit. Passive PA speakers require external amplifiers, equalizers, and compressors to achieve their sound, but the active circuitry within the Mackie SRM450 eliminates the need for such external components, making for a highly portable PA unit that can be operated by simply connecting a microphone and turning up the volume.
