Take this Durable Loudspeaker On the Go

The Mackie Thump GO 8-inch Portable Battery-powered Loudspeaker delivers the full, well-balanced projection of a Mackie loudspeaker in a lighter-weight package for easier on-the-go use. An 8-inch custom high-output woofer pairs with a 1-inch compression driver to provide powerful audio with incredible dynamic range, ensuring a full bass sound with hard-cutting treble. The Thump GO is powered by a removable lithium-ion battery with up to 12 hours of life; a tri-color battery life indicator ensures you can reliably keep the tunes playing all day long. You can stream music from any device with its Bluetooth connectivity, link to another Thump GO for maximum playback, and control everything via the Thump GO Connect app. Here at Sweetwater, we love the smart capabilities of the Thump GO's 2-channel digital mixer with XLR outputs, including "Music Ducking mode" to automatically lower channel two when channel one receives signal. With four application-specific speaker modes and indoor/outdoor voicing modes, as well as a built-in pole mount, you can also take your Thump GO setup outside. Rest it on the ground with ease at its 45-degree monitor angle, knowing that its durable molded enclosure and rugged powder-coated steel grille will keep it protected. Whether you're looking to stream music or set up a PA, the Thump GO is your lightweight, portable loudspeaker solution for any larger indoor or outdoor space.

These Actually Work Great as FRFR for Helix!

I bought two of these speakers because they are battery-powered, to use for busking in places where I can't plug in to power. I have a pedalboard and looper that is also battery-powered - so the Thump Gos integrate great with that system. For fun, I connected the XLR outs on my Helix to the speakers, and was floored by how nice they sound. Honestly, for 90% of what I do (bar band, remote performances for my YouTube channel, etc.) these speakers will handle anything I need. I've not pushed them super hard to see just how loud they can be, but in my studio they sound rich and full with the Helix - and they truly do 'thump!" So since the Helix WILL require plug-in power, I'll use the Mackie speakers plugged in for live monitoring if I'm playing out - maybe even as live floor audio instead of an amp. If I'm busking with the battery powered looper setup, I'll use the Mackies powered by the internal batteries. Just know I'm impressed with the sound and volume. Those 8" speakers are not wimpy! Very satisfied with this purchase.

¡Excelent!

Surprised with the ability of this speaker. I had seen someone ask if using channel 2 for Bluetooth eliminated the possibility of using the channel with a microphone and no, you can use both, you only manage the Bluetooth volume from the cellular device or external device.
Rated 5/5

Outstanding PA Unit

I purchased this unit for our homeowners associations outdoor events. It was surprising how far away folks could hear strongly and clearly. Bose got the job done in a big way with this piece. There are also nice features. Thank you to Chris Goldbach and the sound advice in purchasing this product. His recommendations are always on point.
