Thump Series, Thump GO 8-Inch Portable Battery-Powered Loudspeaker

I'm on the wrong side of 50 with a balky lower back. I was really looking for something lighter than my 30.3lb QSC CP12s to be hoisting on poles and lugging at the and of the night. I play smooth jazz sax over backing tracks at cocktail hours and retirement facilities. I was never blasting the doors off with DJ volume. A pair of these has been absolutely perfect! Great, rich sound for the size and 40+% lower weight. Ample volume for the needs of most acts like mine, I would think. The battery power is probably not something I'll use much, but for those graveside memorial gigs or wedding proposals in a remote gazebo, it will be crucial. I may sell my Roland BA330 and use these instead. Bluetooth backing tracks from my iPad into one speaker, then linked cordless into the other. Just perfect. It's annoying that bluetooth connectivity BETWEEN linked speakers is limited to bluetooth inputs, but If I actually need to mic my sax, I'd be using my QSC's anyway. These have been my go-to's for months now. The only knock on them is that sometimes it takes the Bluetooth a bit to connect. Bravo Mackie!

I bought this for my one-man show - I play mostly blues with guitar and backing tracks. The bluetooth streaming from my iPad and Vocal microphone channel works very well (still had another channel free). It's pretty light and the battery seems to last forever. I had some questions for Mackie, and found them easy to get a hold of and very helpful! I really think Mackie is a great all around choice with pricing fair compared to the competition. But I really liked their support. I bought another Mackie speaker (open box) that had a bad cable, and they sent me a new one quickly and at no charge. I can wholeheartedly recommend this speaker and Mackie as a company that provides real help to customers.

WOW. I am only using this speaker for Bluetooth capabilies with playing music from Spotify. I am no a DJ or using it to play instruments/singing so my review is based on this. I have had the Ion speakers with all the fancy lights, wheels to roll the speaker, and wireless charging capability..... But in the end I wanted a speaker that put out serious sound. I finally have found that speaker in the Mackie Thump go! This thing truly has the full package when it comes to sound quality. I have this thing cranked up to the highest it can go and people cannot believe the sound is coming from a Bluetooth/wireless speaker. Absolute zero distortion and I'm listening to music with lots of bass. When you finally make the jump and actually buy this product for what your actually buying it for (music) I recommend downloading their app as well because you can tinker with the sound even more. You will not be disappointed with spending the extra money for this amazing device. Last thing, did I mention that you can remove the battery and put a fully charged battery in (separate purchase needed) when you have no access to power.... Come on, most all these other speakers do not have that option and that alone was huge for me. Not that I have had to do that because this battery has lasted 8+ hours on 3/4 volume (which is loud).... Buy this thing today! You won't regret it.

I'm happy. Signal is good and clear, battery life is CRAZY good, and the mixing options are convenient and helpful. For an 8" speaker you can lug around easily, I love it. It is still an 8" speaker. Power is limited, so you kinda have to max out volumes to get loudness happening. Ducking works good, as does Bluetooth, but feedback eliminator is a farce. It does nothing to eliminate feedback at high volumes. Anyway, I got it for $300 during a sale and am very happy with it. Definitely recommend.

I got this at a really great price and it has all the power I need for performing at a nursing home. Since it's battery powered I never have to look for an AC outlet to power it up. The sound is clean and sufficiently loud for a small venue of usually around 20 people. It's light and small so set up is quick.

Nice speaker

En mi opinión personal vale cada centavo que pague por el buen material, buena calidad de sonido muy contento
