- Quick video comparisons of the 2. I play mostly r&b and HIPHOP music so flr those guys undecided on what speaker to get. I feel your struggle!!! Both these bad boys are GREAT. Think it depends on the sound you want. Excuse the mess, dogs and kids man.. but the clarity on both is amazing. I think the 450 is just better at catching the lows and mids. You cant go wrong with either 1. Get one that fits your budget and works for you.

Thanks for this. Both sound good - and I noticed the clarity of the QSC as you said it.
I may well end up with the QSC K.2 (whichever of the three), as a sub can bring extra bass to the QSC's.
I'm also going to audition other brands when I'm next in London.
You got the Mackie on the floor and in the corner of the room, you'll gain 5-10+ DB bass that way corner loading versus the QSC which is more in the middle of the room and up on a table. Thats just how bass support is. Still the Mackie is awesome and the better speaker IMO.
exactly my thoughts ahaha
I had those Mackie for a couple years .. there are good speakers but they overheat if you work them for 2 or 3 hours most of the Mexican parties is for 5 to 6 hours. So I had to get rid of them. Now I use Qsc . I have never had no issues with them.
hey man, did you have the QSC speaker on DANCE mode when you gave that review of the bass? Interested in this speaker!
Honestly fam I can’t remember. But it handles the bass very well. You won’t be disappointed! The mackie couldn’t handle rap trap heavy bass music
Agree 👍 I had the qsc K2 got rid of it and got Mackie v3 SRM the only thing it mising I a filter too work with sub since a use dbx rack i give that opción to the speakers
It's been almost 3 years and qsc and ev is still kicking like brand new.
I still have my ev elx115 almost 8 years since I got them I used them with kw181 subwoofers too
Good video 👍! bottom line qsc are better all around but pricey.... Mackies not as good but more affordable... Not all DJ's can dish out $800-$1k for 1 speak...but if you can do it...long haul qsc won't fail you, Mackies will...👍
Mackies tends to over heat at high volume. Qsc last longer and has 6 years guarantee. Next time place the speakers at the same height. Speakers on the floor usually sound with more bass. Good look
Will do. Appreciate the tip
The Mackie V1 had some over heat problems I hear, but I have ran the V2's in 100 degree heat and pushed them hard with no problems
Did you have the K12.2s in Dance Mode or Default? I have the K12.2s and I'm disappointed in the low end bass they lacked. Especially compared to the orginal K12s.
Dream Chasers I can't recall the mode but I remember the base and a few things were adjusted. The Mackie were in defualt. You can fine tune the q's and get the sound quality you want. The vocals literally jump out on you with the clarity. No denying it. I would just use the Mackie as a monitor behind the booth when doing gigs. I actually ended up getting the Ev.. I LOVE THEM!! THEY PUSH ALLLLLLLLLLLL DAY.
Mackieee
Poeple will always have something negative to say about the Mackie SRM450s. Sure the V2s had plenty of issues but the V3s are top notch. Been using them for years and never had an “overheating” issue. These days people just want to be seen looking cool with QSC gear. I’ll take my SRMs any day over Ks.
Ryan J i hear you famo. Mackies are damn good for any house party or whatnot. Small venues stuff like that. To me personally. I like my EVs over both of them. There was a huge difference in clarity when the volume is turned up and the bass is hitting. I meant to do. Video showing that. But ya for anyone starting out. Mack are definitely good!
KING MESSIAH Yes they are!
I tried those mackies at a car show side by side with my EV'S and the mackies started sounding crappy after around 2 hours while my EV'S kept pushing clear. Also had my EV Ekx 18s as bottoms.
Manuel Gutierrez I don't see me leaving evs. I bought 2 fifteens about 4 or 5 months ago. Absolutely love them. Longest I played them was about 5 hours straight. Different tempos and bass and vocals. No distortion, and I pushed them hard for some hours before I scaled back. . Can't beat them
@@thecapothedon which Evs did you get?
all mackie active amplifiers suck, we always have them in the shop for repair, I aint ever seen any qsc gear for repair
S85 V10 I’ve had my EV for 2 1/2 years. It’s been knocked over and pushed, thrown in the airport and still comes through not a single problem.
That’s the Chinese SRM450 V3
Go listen to the Original Italian SRM450
Which is better mackie srm 450 or yamaha dbr 15?
Daniel Moses I haven’t heard the Yamaha’s. If you’re just starting out the mackies aren’t bad at all. I ended up going with the Ev’s which to me blew the mackies out the water. All depends on what your budget and quality sound you’re looking for.
Daniel Moses I’ll see if guitar center got any Yamaha’s and let you know
@@thecapothedon , ok sir thanks, im waiting for ur reply.
from my experience the Yamaha's have a more punchy bass but the highs on them are a little muffled the 450s are good speakers and the bass is almost the same
Not a very good review, get them both at the same height.
Tim Wilson I wouldn’t say that but if you say so
I have both speakers, you put that Mackie on a stand and you will see how big a piece or shit it is, no volume at all and absolutely no bass in the air. Which is why I purchased the first gen QSC K12s and the quality of sound in my DJ gigs changed drastically. You get what you pay for, I owned them both for many years and could not justify keeping the Mackies.
James P the mackies are good for starters on a budget. That’s it
You 'must' put both in the same position....'either both on the floor or both in air'..I have both & QSC is waaayyy better...
qsc sounds bigger fuller.
That speaker can’t handle that QSC go outside and play that speaker in the heat for a long time that’s the difference Technology
The Mackie is a 15” the qsc is 12”
Both are 12
Qsc are overrated hyped up bullshit mackies 450 are beast
Bryan Rosado I dunno fam. I like the mackies don't get me wrong but they didn't give me the sound I wanted when I was playing a lot of trap and r&b. Certain songs it just couldn't keep the clarity. Still some good ass speakers though. I actually ended up getting EV. I fUCKING LOVE THEM!
KING MESSIAH yea ev better then both I have old school pair ev sxa250 15" 350watts rms twice as loud as both of these
KING MESSIAH but u gotta think the mackies are keeping up with a speaker out of it's class range and price range now if u out the Mackie srm 550 against it really blow the qsc away which ev u got????

Bryan Rosado I got the zlx-15p. The joints PUSH!!!!!! Ioooove them. Had the in Dave and busters last night filled the section up. I don’t see me leaving Ev
QSC sounds like plastic bottle
Kavaja Music u think so? sounded crystal clear there and in person needless to say when it came to heavy bass music it couldn’t hang
One of my friend, deejay, mounted B&C DE 750TN driver to the SRM450 V1. It`s sonic sound. People look to the speakers like... dude, the fuck is this !!! But the amplifier gets hot a lot
Used to mount a 2" to 1" converter
