Mackie, the audio equipment manufacturer have announced the release of a new powered (this means it has an amplifier in it) bass speaker cabinet to compliment their highly acclaimed Mackie SRM450 MK2 powered speakers.
The new Mackie SRM1801 powered bass bin has been a long-time coming. I can’t count the amount of customers who have asked, when purchasing Mackie SRM450 speakers, if Mackie have a complimenting bass cabinet – well now, here it is!
As with all Mackie products, this powered bass bin looks like a quality piece of kit. There’s no doubt, and especially since it’s specifically designed for use with the Mackie SRM450, it will sound amazing!
With it’s massive 1000W of output power this means that a set-up with 2x SRM1801 and 2x Mackie SRM450 MK2 would be an active powerhouse of a massive 2,800 watts! According to our research, most mobile DJs use a pair of 300w speakers. This means this Mackie system would be 3 and a half times the power a standard DJ would need.
So evidently a system such as this will really appeal to DJs who perform at very large (possibly corporate) events, small to medium sized bands, duos and solo artists. Such a diverse market means that the new Mackie SRM1801 has opened up so many posibilities and we predict that you are likely to see more dj equipment retailers looking to stock the new range of Mackie speakers.
The Mackie SRM1801 18″ Powered Subwoofer delivers powerful, chest-thumping lows, perfect for your SRM450v2 PA system. The SRM1801 has a ported bass reflex design that produces tight low end. And the lightweight, ultra-efficient Class-D Fast Recovery™ power amplifier delivers 1000W peak power with less risk of thermal overload. This makes the sub extremely lightweight and portable, without compromising the power and performance that you need. It’s the first ever 18″ subwoofer specifically designed for use with the best-selling SRM450v2—add some serious low end to your portable PA with the SRM1801.
What does 1000W of peak power mean to you? It means having a subwoofer that delivers rump-shaking bass night after night. It means getting class-leading power and output. To accomplish this, the SRM1801 features Class-D Fast Recovery™ amplification. Class-D amps are more efficient and lightweight, with far less waste heat produced versus competing designs. Fast Recovery means you can occasionally push into clipping without a ton of nasty distortion. So, power is no problem… but how does it sound? The SRM1801 benefits from built-in Active electronics, like a precision crossover and tuning filters for accurate bass response. Some subwoofers have decent power, but when you listen, everything sounds loose and flabby. The SRM1801 delivers professional low end that you can feel… custom tuned to be tight and punchy.

So after many requests from customers we have finally sourced the Ultimax Shelf for DJ Deck Stands.
Note: This post is outdated and this product is no longer available from our website. We have other DJ Stands available.
DJs have mentioned on many occasions that although the deck stands that most manufacturers make are an excellent idea, the concept could be better – particularly on the top shelf.
So Ultimax addressed this constructive criticism and created their Deck Stand Shelf for 3 different size DJ stands.
So in stock now are the 60cm, 1.2m and 1.7m deck stands for 2ft, 4ft and 6ft deck stands, respectively.
