  • Page 4: Introduction

    Thank you for choosing a Mackie compact active PA system for your sound reinforcement applications. The SRM150 is an active PA system that provides a built-in mixer, high sound pressure levels, and is de- signed to give you the best performance of any compact PA system in its class and price range.

    MAIN LEVEL control (or the input source volume control, if it has one). 10. If there is no sound, always turn down the SRM150 MAIN LEVEL control before investigating. There may be a mixer or preamplifier mute or tape switch engaged, or a mic switch off.

    However: The Instrument input is unbalanced, so if you are running a long cord between the instrument and the SRM150 (say over 20 feet), it is best to use a direct box with a balanced output to avoid picking up noise over the length of the cord.
  • Page 9: Main Level

    6. MAIN LEVEL This is used to adjust the signal level from the SRM150 mixer, going into the built-in power amplifier. Follow the Quick Start guide on page 4 for setting the MAIN LEVEL control.
  • Page 10: Rear Panel Description

    REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION 8. POWER Switch Switch up to turn the SRM150 on. Make sure the MAIN LEVEL [6] control is down before you turn it on. Press the bottom of this switch to put the SRM150 into standby mode. It will not function, but the circuits are still live.
  • Page 11: Placement

    You can place the SRM150 on the floor and angle it back to use it as a floor monitor. The unique shape of the cabinet provides a perfect angle for aiming up toward performers from the front of the stage.
  • Page 12: Ac Power Considerations

    AC POWER CONSIDERATIONS Be sure the SRM150 is plugged into an outlet that is able to supply enough current for the amplifier. Under maximum SPL conditions, where musical peaks are just hitting the limiter, the SRM150 model draws 2 amps on average. Under normal conditions, the current draw is below 1 amp.
  • Page 13: Connections

    CONNECTIONS XLR Connectors Inputs 1-2 accept 3-pin male XLR connectors on the combo inputs. They are wired as follows, according to standards specified by the AES (Audio Engineering Society). SHIELD COLD SHIELD COLD XLR Balanced Wiring: Pin 1 = Shield Pin 2 = Hot (+) Pin 3 = Cold (–) 1/4"...
  • Page 14: Service Information

    • Is there a light dimmer or other SCR-based device on the same AC circuit as the SRM150? Use an AC line filter or plug the SRM150 into a different AC circuit. • Turn the MAIN LEVEL control all the way down. If the noise disappears, it’s coming from the signal source.
