Mackie ThumpGO Portable Active Speaker with Bluetooth Overview
The Mackie Thump GO portable loudspeaker with Bluetooth is a fantastic choice if you want punchy, accurate and detailed sound on the move. There’s no doubt that this speaker earns its “Thump” moniker. Whether you’re a busker that wants to project across the streets, are doing an impromptu DJ set on the beach or want to enjoy stellar music playback for your event, you can count on the Mackie Thump GO to deliver exceptional sound.
Beautifully Simple
The geniuses over at Mackie have made setting up their Thump GO portable loudspeaker an effortless experience. You don’t need to have a sound engineering degree to achieve great results. One of the advantages of the Mackie Thump GO is its wireless capabilities, which includes Bluetooth streaming and the option to control it via the free Thump Connect 2 app (compatible with iOS & Android devices). With just your phone, you can stream music or backing tracks directly to the Thump GO and intuitively tweak the sound settings.
Easy To Dial-In
The Thump GO’s sound settings are beautifully simple and incredibly effective. Mackie has designed the Thump GO to excel at a wide range of applications, which is where the Voicing Modes come into play. With the application-specific Music, Speech, Monitoring and Sub voice modes at your disposal, tailoring the Thump GO to any context is a breeze. Other indispensable features include Music Ducking (automatically ducks the music when you speak into a mic on Channel 1), a Feedback Eliminator (prevents ear-destroying squeals from occurring) and an Outdoor mode (optimises the Thump GO for use outside).
Outstanding Sound
Powering the Thump GO’s crystal clear sound is an ultra-efficient 200W Class-D amplifier, an 8" custom high-output woofer and a 1" compression driver. The Thump GO is an incredibly versatile loud speaker, as it can be used for traditional music playback, as a portable PA system and top-notch floor monitor. You can position on the Thump GO onto its side, which tilts it up and puts it in an ideal position for monitoring. There’s also a standard pole mount so you can mount the Thump GO onto a speaker stand or subwoofer if you plan on using it for a function or event.
The Power Of Two
You can connect a second Thump GO if you require extra volume for a large venue. When paired up, you can use Bluetooth to stream music to them in either Dual Zone or Stereo mode. If you’ve got the Thump Connect 2 app downloaded, you can control both of them at the same time.
Impressive Battery Life
Mackie has outfitted the Thump GO with a removable lithium-ion battery, which provides up to 12 hours of battery life. If you need to keep the party going for even longer, you can simply plug in a spare battery whilst the main one is recharging. A handy feature is a tri-colour battery life indicator, which lets you know when it’s time to charge it up. You can also power the Thump GO via a traditional kettle lead if you want to use mains power.
Flexible Mixer
For live performances and buskers, you can connect to the built-in 2-channel mixer. The Thump GO features two combination XLR/1/4" jack inputs for vocals and/or instruments (guitar, keyboard etc.) Each input features an adjustable Gain level, whilst Channel 1 can be optimised for a microphone or line-level signal with the push of a button. If you prefer to go old-school, you can hook up an aux cable to Channel 2.
If you’re in the market for an ultra-durable and easy to dial in portable loudspeaker with tonnes of useful features and bold, powerful sound - the Mackie Thump GO Portable Loudspeaker with Bluetooth is hard to beat. It’s a great option if you need a take-anywhere solution for gigs, DJ sets, functions and more.
