Mackie SRM350: Second Observation
I used a pair of SRM350's last night and I suggest one consider that
their active bass management circuitry, which presently cannot be
defeated by the user, be examined in the context of intended use before
purchasing. The midrange on these is really very nice, but when levels
are low and the system turns up the bottom, like a loudness control on a
home palyback system, only to see plenty of low end suddenly arrive from
the source, the result is way too much bottom.
When this kind of built-in stuff cannot be disabled the potential
applications for a device become restricted. In this case I have ruled
out the SRM350 in its present iteration as a stage monitor for acoustic
music.
