Re: OT: Mackie SRM150 / tiny PA

["Travis Hartnett" <travishartnett@gmail.com>]

I've been using the SRM150 for monitoring for a few months now, and if all you want is truly a "bit of reinforcement for very small venues", then it'll do a great job...for a 5.25" speaker.  Plus, it's very light and small.  I used to gig a lot with one of those Trace Elliot Acoustic Cubes, which was 35W into a 6" speaker, and for the light reinforcement in small venues it worked fine, but I was only putting acoustic guitar and loops through it.

There's been plenty of discussion (or at least mention) here regarding the Mackie SRM450 powered speakers. Has anyone had experience with the tiny SRM150? I need something portable, with two inputs, that can provide a bit of reinforcement for very small venues, coffeeshops and that kind of thing. I have no doubt the 150 works well as a monitor, but it's supposed to be able to handle some application as a main PA, which is what I'm interested in. A 5.25" speaker doesn't give a lot of hope, but it sure is nice and small. I want to be able to carry the thing around as part of my luggage.
