Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing LOUD Technologies’ Mackie active sound reinforcement speakers. The SRM350 is an active two-way loud- speaker capable of extremely high sound pressure levels, and designed to give you the best performance of any loudspeaker in its class and price range. - Page 5 The Active Advantage There are a number of advantages to us- ing an active speaker system over a passive loudspeaker: • The internal crossover is active, and its low power circuitry operates on line- level signals.

HOOKUP DIAGRAMS Quick Start 1. Start with the following settings on the back of the SRM350: Turn the POWER switch off (down). Set the CONTOUR and MIC/LINE switches out. If using a microphone as the input to the SRM350, push the MIC/ LINE switch in. - Page 7 CONTOUR DESIGNED BY MACKOIDS IN WOODINVILLE, WA, USA 2.50A 230VA (+3dB) SRM350: DAISY-CHAINING USING THE THRU JACK The SRM350 can be used with a Mackie SWA1501 or SWA1801 subwoofer to create an incredibly powerful system.

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 SRM350 in- corporates 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. -

SRM350 to the output of your mixing console. Simply plug the signal source output into the first INPUT jack, and patch that speaker’s THRU jack to the next INPUT jack, and so on, daisy-chaining multiple speakers (see diagram on page 7). - Page 11 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 SRM350 are convection cooled by a large heatsink. For efficient cooling, it is important to allow at least six inches of free space behind the SRM350. If the ambient temperature in the room is high, it could cause the amplifiers to over- heat. - Page 13 Wherever possible, connect all of your equipment to the same electrical circuit. This will help reduce the possibility of a ground loop problem causing an annoying hum in your speakers. Low power components such as tape decks, mixers, effects processors and CD players should be connected to the same outlet as the SRM350s.

SRM350 before correct- ing it or changing any connections. Of all Mackie products returned for ser- vice (which is hardly any at all), many are coded “CND” — Could Not Duplicate— which usually means the problem lay some- where else in the system. - Page 15 Bad sound! • Is it loud and distorted? Follow the procedures described in the “Quick Start” section to verify that the levels are set properly. • Is the input connector plugged com- pletely into the jack? Be sure all connections are secure. It’s a good idea to periodically clean all electrical connections with a non-lubricating electrical contact cleaner.
