  • Page 4: Introduction

    Thank you for choosing LOUD Technologies’ Mackie active sound reinforcement speakers. The SRM350v2 is a redesigned version of our popular SRM350 active loudspeaker. With its newly designed Class-D Fast-Recovery amplifiers, high-output compression driver and 10" woofer, it produces an even smoother sound than the original.
  • Page 5 There is no guesswork as to what load each amplifier has to drive, so they can provide maximum acoustic output from the speakers, yet minimize the danger of speaker damage due to overdriving a lesser amplifier. • The connecting wires between the amplifier outputs and the drivers are kept to a minimum, so the damping factor of the amplifier isn’t compromised by the...

    Switch up to turn the SRM350v2 on. Make sure the LEVEL control is down before you turn it on. Press the bottom of this switch to put the speaker into standby mode. It will not function, but the circuits are still live. To remove AC power, either turn off the AC mains supply, or unplug the power cord from the speaker and the AC mains supply.

    This is used to adjust the signal level going into the built-in power amplifiers, from off up to 45 dB of gain. Since the SRM350v2 incorporates Mackie’s world-class low-noise mic preamp technology, you can connect either a line-level or a microphone-level signal to the input, and use this control to adjust the level correctly.

    PLACEMENT The SRM350v2 active speakers are designed to sit on the floor, a tabletop, or to fit on a standard tripod speaker stand. They can also be suspended by the rigging points, which requires installing the optional hanging bracket on the top and/or bottom of the cabinet (SRM350v2 Bracket Kit: Part No.

  • Page 11: Rigging

    The best approach is to provide as much direct sound coverage to the audience as possible. The farther away you are from the speaker, the more prominent will be the reflected sound. Use more speakers strategically placed so they are closer to the back of the audience.

  • Page 12: Thermal Considerations

    THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS The amplifiers inside the SRM350v2 are convection cooled by a large heatsink. For efficient cooling, it is important to allow at least six inches of free space behind the SRM350v2. If the ambient temperature in the room is high, though highly unlikely, it could cause the amplifiers to overheat.
  • Page 13 For the US 120 V model: A maximum of five SRM350v2s can be connected per 15A service. This allows each SRM350v2 to be safely operated at its maximum level. When turning your system on, turn on the SRM350v2s last. This will stop any turn-on thumps and bangs from your source equipment being amplified.

  • Page 15 Noise • Make sure all connections to the active speakers are good. • Make sure none of the signal cables are routed near AC cables, power transformers, or other EMI-inducing devices. • Is there a light dimmer or other SCR-based device on the same AC circuit as the SRM350v2? Use an AC line filter or plug the SRM350v2 into a different AC circuit.
