Mackie Thump 210

The Mackie Thump 210's comparatively low weight makes it easier to set up and put away, and easier to transport and store, too, all of which is a real advantage for DJs and musicians with their own portable PA. Club owners using the 210 in compact permanent installations will appreciate every square inch of the dancefloor they get back. The immensely durable synthetic material the cabinet is made from also helps keep the weight down. On the inside, the updated Thump archictecture means even this smallest unit can handle signals in a frequency range from 52Hz right up to 23kHz; for extending the low end, the Thump monitors pairs perfectly with the series' subwoofers, which have also been updated. Either way, the Mackie Thump 210 is a pragmatic yet professional solution for big sound in smaller spaces.

In 1988 Greg Mackie, already a successful co-founder of a pro audio company, founded Mackie Designs Inc. with the goal of producing affordable, high-quality mixers. The company's first official product, the LM-1602 line mixer, was initially produced within the four walls of his home. As sales figures were encouraging, its successor model CR-1604 soon followed - and in 1991 the company finally moved into its first proper production facility. The combination of reliable quality and low prices quickly brought the company enormous success, so that by 1995 Mackie had already sold 100,000 products. In 2003, the company was renamed LOUD Audio, LLC so that there is no longer any confusion between the Mackie brand and its former parent company of the same name.
