"The SRM150 integrates the proven technology from the SRM series, along with an easy-to-use onboard mixer in a compact package," said Mackie Brand group vice president John Boudreau. "It makes the SRM150 the perfect choice for a wide range of applications such as boardroom and classroom A/V, and live music performance in venues such as coffee houses, piano bars, and rehearsal rooms. Plus, the SRM150 outperforms everything in its class by delivering higher output and wider frequency response."
The built-in 3-channel mixer features two combo XLR/line inputs (with 48V phantom power and a hi-Z instrument input), a stereo channel for CD/MP3 players, and Mackie's musical 3-band active EQ. The SRM150 can even be mounted on a mic stand and used as a personal monitor.
• Also new at Frankfurt will be the Mackie Control Pro control surface series, the next generation of the Mackie Control Universal line of controllers. Comprising Mackie Control Universal Pro, Mackie Control Extender Pro and Mackie Control C4 Pro, the series provides "the most complete feature set and software compatibility of any control surfaces available today", claims the company. Mackie Control Pro series controllers are designed to "seamlessly work together to deliver ultimate hands-on control of mix and plug-in parameters, thereby making the user's music production software complete".
"Mackie Control Pro controllers allow users to get the most out of Logic, Pro Tools and other major audio production software by giving them control they simply can't get from a mouse or generic controller. Our new series once again sets the standard for precision, expandability and ease of use," said James Woodburn, Mackie Recording Brand Manager.
