Thanks so much for the detailed review. I'd been considering both of these options (inputs etc. are not important to me) but the fact that you said the Yorkville has a better bass response than the Mackie is the key!! Bass response is really what I'm looking for independent of price. Thanks again.
Aw man you'll love the yorkville!! Cheers and thanks for watching man!
To prevent accidental draining of the Mackie's battery during transport: remove it after charging and place it back when setting up your gear. :)
That would work! Thanks
can’t wait for your review on EV everse 8 against this exm mobile 8 .... btw great video 🤙🤙🤙
I'd love to see that. Investing in a set of EVERSE 8s, got one for ceremonies but I loved it so much, I got a 2nd one on order.
You did us a great favor for us music operators on comparing these speakers.
Glad i helped! Thank you so much for watching!
Love the comparison bro. I think i like the mackie thump because of the removable battery
Thanks for watching bro!🙏 but I agree on the battery
Mackie Thump Go matched with my Denon Prime Go is a match made in heaven.
Oh i believe it! Battery powered heaven! LOL
No Lie, and I just bought the Yorkville Battery 🔋 Powered Sub to go with my Thump Go’s and my Prime Go when I can finally find one 🙄🙄🙄
Try the Denon Go with a Soundboks! Wireless SKAA connection between the two also with a few parts.
Soundboks is the power simple the best 👌 👍 😍
Awesome video bro! Yorkville for me!
Appreciate you bro
Very nice review. Guys I will get 2 Mackies n loop them, doing so you also get stereo and your overall sound will be boom boom boom with all you want. Paying less too for better sound. Go Mackie.
The front grill on Mackie does not look as good. Mackie should relocate the grill to the lower mid point and make it smaller. Also on the switch design a recessed boxed-in with flip cover, So to get to the switch you flip the cover then push the switch to NO/OFF. While on transit the switch is protected by the flip to it does not accidentally get bumped to ON thus run the battery to zero.
Thanks for watching bro! You won't be disappointed with the mackies! Enjoy
La Mackie no distorsiona al volumen máximo, la Yorville se escucha muy saturada al volumen máximo.
Potencia Yorville, calidad Mackie 🤙
Yes exactly! The Mackie has a limiter which allows it not to distort at its max volume while the yorkville does not do it can get very loud but in turn it starts to peak like most speakers. Thanks for watching 🙏
@@DjNinesworld it probably has a limiter. As far as I know
You wouldn’t want to continue if the limiter is flashing much.
As a persons that owned multiple bluetooth speakers over the years is that the battery wears down over time, starts to take forever to charge, dies fast, at high volumes just shuts off even with charge. Brand wise, Yorkville would be the no brainer to get, but the non removable battery is a HUGE CON on the Yorkville. We don’t even know if Yorkville has an option to replace the battery, if so what their cost is to replace it, considering they’re in Canada. we know that the mackie sells spare battery for about 70$usd
Very valid point here. The battery situation is a major con on the yorkville.
Removable batt is what sold me. Thanks for solidifying my thoughts. It's always nice to feel right about something...
I asked this question a couple days ago and the sales guy at long and McQuade said the could do battery replacements in house, didn't get an exact price but sounded like around the 200 dollar mark, he also said many of his rental fleets EXM mobiles [the smaller/older version] battery's are reaching 9-10 years with out being replaced. Also they have an extendable warranty that would cover the battery that seems almost reasonably priced. Having to ship it it would suck, they are heavy for there size.
Seems like the no Brainer is the Mackie, by the points you made. I like it.
@@a99117733 Get a performance warranty, then it should be covered. From what I know about Yorkville having bought maybe a half dozen different models, nx55p, nx750p, parasource, ps10p, the ps12p, nx720p subs, parasource ps12s sub, exm400's, and from what I notice, Yorkville doesn't change out their models all that often. All of these are still being sold new or updated versions with minor updates so they should support their battery powered speakers for years to come.
Thanks for the review, I agree with other comments about the replacement battery. I'm looking for wedding ceremony speaker options. What's the distance on the Yorkville Bluetooth range from main unit out to a second speaker?
The range I've tried is around 20ft from each other. I think it can more but i wouldn't push it just because bluetooth is still pretty unreliable
Good video dude. Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
Yorkville EXM big CON for me is the non removable/replaceable battery. Other than that , it's nice. Thanks for your reviews !
I agree on your comment about the yorkville not having a user replaceable battery. It is the biggest con of the speaker. But if you can get around that fact its the best in its class. Thanks for watching!
@@DjNinesworld If Yorkville could give us musicians a removable / replaceable battery on this unit ..... keep the price the same. ......the sales of this unit would far outreach all the others in sales alone. ( just common sense) IMO.
@@BaktaBak3 I agree 💯
Great video! Wow EXM is loud. $300 more, I'm willing to pay the extra $$ but the fact that the battery is not user replaceable is a deal breaker:( I love my Mackie Thump Go but find the bass shy. Does the EXM have noticeably better bass?
Yes the bass is more prominent on the yorkville.
@@DjNinesworld Have you ever heard the HK Mobile 8?
Yes I have heard of the HK mobile 8! I have yet to hear it live but I’ve only heard good things
Info I would like to know:
Battery time - EXM 5.5 hrs Thump 12 hrs
Speaker configuration
Does the EXM have a Bluetooth app I can control from the bar?
Does the EXM come with a bag as I think the Thump does.
Great video, thank you!!!
Hey buds thanks for watching the video! The batteries are very comparable i think the exm battery would last longer than 5.5 hrs if it was only at a low volume and the thump approximately 12 hrs at moderate low volumes too. The EXM does not have an app to control it with. It would've been nice to have one but honestly you can control it all on the back of the speaker. The EXM does not have an actual dedicated bag. I actually use the same backpack as i use the jbl eon one compact for it because they are identical in size. Let me know if there is anything else you would like answered. Happy thanksgiving!
What about the Bose - S1 Pro Portable Bluetooth Speaker vs Mackie Thump GO ...?
As to the Yorkville EXM Mobile 8, on Amazon there are just two reviews, one complaining of a lack of a case/box, and the other saying it is a bad speaker and the customer service is bad. As to the Thump, the reviewers on Amazon said that the Thump is bass-heavy. I would hate speakers that push the bass at the expense of high fidelity.
Also, Please: you play music on these speakers and note the decibel volume, but we can NOT JUDGE the quality/fidelity of the sound; we have to trust you to tell us you opinion on that! Also, VERY IMPORTANT IS THE power of the Microphone Preamps. Two weeks ago I traded in my 4 year old S1Pro for an EV Everse8. Wow, what a difference! Whereas the S1Pro Mic preamps are so weak, that I have used a mixer to get decent volume and clarity. Whereas with the Everse8, I have temporarily retired the mixer! It is a Yamaha AG06 Mk2 by the way. All the adjustments I can make to the EQ and Reverbs on that Yamaha, I can now do on the EV Everse8. Using my cellphone or tablet whereas I need my laptop for the Yamaha. When I first got the Everse8 the sound quality was not really high fidelity, but I quickly learned that I had to adjust the EQ and then I got great HiFi sound. It's all in the EQ! Even my cellphone, a Galaxy S22+, has various EQ settings, and it is amazing the difference in the sound quality from genre to genre of music. If I play a pop song using "Classic" EQ, it sounds pretty bad!
How’s the sound quality at 100% on the yorkville??? Thanks for the effort putting this up for us!!!
Well with all speakers when it’s maxed out it will distort. No difference with the yorkville BUT I would just back off the volume to around 80% and you have loud but clear perfect playback. I appreciate you. Thanks for watching!🙏
Those both look decent. I still haven't found a battery speaker better than the Soundboks 3! That thing bumps when you need it to, plus you can control 6 EQ bands on the app. Insane 20+ hour swappable battery.
Ya these are both decent speakers. They definitely don't go as loud as the Soundboks 3 though! Thanks for watching and commenting!
For the price I'd rather get two Yorkville or better yet the new Everse 8. Much more portable to take one with you. If you need more bang take both and run full stereo. Also better for instrument integration.
Very true assessment, that said you really are paying for the better performance/versatility/battery life. You can get a pair of Mackie Thump goes with stands for $800! Although, the Soundboks are great, the Mackies seem to be more in my price range for my application - outdoor wedding ceremonies.
@@mlafonta22two one really give that much more volume mostly coverage overall.
Woah the yorkville reached 109.5 DB?! Thats insane for a small battery powered speaker!
Yuppers!! Power packed
109dB of distortion has no purpose.
It was distorting terribly long before that so it was not that loud and we still dont know how loud can it play cleanly.
We have no information on that. 50% distortion has no value for playing music.
Measure it from a repeatable distance either one or two meters to follow the standards,
preferably outdoors or in a large room to minimize reflections
And use a quality decibel meter set to C or Z weighted,
not the "A" scale which subtracts up to 50 decibels of bass depending on the frequency and volume at the time.
"A" weighted decibal meters are the wrong tool for the job since the "A" scale is heavily weighed and has a huge amount of subtracted from the actual dB.
It was never intended for maximum levels of anything.
It was developed to study the minimum level people could hear at various frequencies since the ear is more sensitive to some of the upper mid-range notes.
But its completely misused and misunderstood these days.
It's of little value to measure distortion mixed with audio on a low budget meter dB meter
especially if set on the A scale which subtracts all the bass out of the measurement.
Thanks for the pros and cons, that was useful.
For the next test do some reading on audio test procedures to actually produce a usable and valid result. For example pick up a UMIk 1 calibrated microphone for $70 and a free copy of REW (room EQ wizard) and then you can publish solid, valid test results.
That will show you the frequency response, delay, phase, distortion and everything else we need to know complete with output decibel charts and frequency response charts.
Wondering if you have any videos of the Yorkville VS/compared to QSC 12, etc. Thx.
No sorry not as of yet maybe in the near future. Take care
Please make a video over yorkville exm Mobile 8 vs Bose s1 pro
Working on it sir!
@@DjNinesworld amazing
@@DjNinesworld Don't forget the JBL Eon One Compact.
Hello ! Will you be able to sing and play the guitar under the backing track with a Mackie speaker or not ?
You probably need a small external mixer to play the guitar, sing and play a backing track at the same time. The yorkville you would be able to do all 3 at the same time though
Can you compare it with the Bose S1 thnks
I suggest to showing the mixer Yamaha MG06X, this one has effect! And not the mixer you are showing at minutes 6:14, thanks anyway for this video demonstration
I did show the mixer just after that time stamp!
how are you turning the QSC K12's on while in a bag? they are not battery powered are u plugged in while in a bag?
haha no sorry you misunderstood what i was saying. I mean you can easily flip the switch on through the bag of the k12's which i have done numerous times. Just comparing it to the mackie thump go and how easy it could be to flip that switch too but this time its battery powered so it will drain.
I liked Yorkville but don't like that you cannot remove the battery. That sucks.
💯 agree
@@DjNinesworld i think the Mackie sounds good. will you or have you tested the yorkville 12 inch battery powered speaker?
@@waimeaguyz9074 that’s another one I will do for sure!
Do the Mackie thump gos have enough bass response for a dj to practice at home?
Oh yes!!! More than enough for just practice at home!👌
Can you do a comparison between, the yorkville and the new Electro voice everse8
I'll see what i can do:)
My Mackie thump go, sound very muddy and the base is punchy (not rumbly). I compared them to google home max speaker, which sounded amazing in comparison. Not sure if they’re broken
Maybe you got a dud?
what is better, Yorkville EXM Mobile8 or ElectroVoice Everse 8??
Is there not a delay when you link them via bluetooth?
No noticeable delay when linked through bluetooth
If I use the Auxiliary input and had another mackie . Would it still sinc . To the slave speaker
Ya i would imagine it would work!
Mackie vs bose s1 vs jbl eon one vs yorkville?Which of these should I buy?
Well they all serve the same application. What are exactly are you going to use it for?
@@DjNinesworld I will use it to sing hymns and to give speeches in religious places. I will address 200 people. Can you please recommend me a quality product?
How can i found the misure od the db speakers sound volume?
You need to use a decibel meter
I think Mackie missed it without adding the reverb... The thumb go really looks professional and all but then without reverb..? Had to go for BOse S1 pro..
I agree 💯
How about the Bose S1 Pro?
I'll see what i can do. Thanks for watching
Its like Christmas in February! DJNinesWorld has a new comparison video with the EXM Mobile 8 😍
😉
I think you forgot to mention the Yorkville is a 3-way cabinet. It's an 8" coax and a horn.
I may have failed to mention that in this comparison but i did mention that the yorkville is a 3 way speaker in its own review on my channel
oh I really wanted MACKIE but only YORKVILLE pass thru Bluetooth audio to a sub 😞
Sorry but yes this is correct. Unfortunately 👎🏼
Can the Mackie be used as a Karaoke 🎤 machine
Yes of course it can be used for karaoke! I use it for karaoke all the time lol
The Yorkville EXM Mobile 8 looks like a reverse engineering of the Bose S1 Pro. It looks identical, hopefully it sounds better.
It does sound better and louder too
I agree ! I've rented them both on several occasions. The yorkville sounds better.
You gotta test the Everse.
Soon
@@DjNinesworldwe’re waiting!
2 of those speakers, 2 sturdy tripods.... Battery replacement...lot of gear for
Very poor bass response outdoor indeed.
Also Add a subwoofer?
1 db technologies es503 and 1 good battery inverter. Waay louder Waay better bass. No tripods or 1 stand for split the tops in stereo mode
Which battery/generator do you use for the ES503?
Can you mention an alternative for the es503? I'm looking for something potable, but with enough bass If it possible something that is battery powered. I don't know how using a battery inverter works but it seems like a good alternative to expand the options
@@xha-mnsounds9531 you can't have lot of bass with small Subwoofer.
One of the loudest speaker in small package is Lucas nano 602
@@xha-mnsounds9531 the only battery operated and loud is the jbl eon mk2
Yorkville is more about SQ, but its not much better than the Mackie. Biggest problem with the Yorkvlle its a Canadian company, so US buyers will have a longer turn around for warranty.
Well said!🙌🏻
To me they both sounded tiny save money and buy better speakers
I would recommend QSC K series Yorkville Elites and Yamaha DXR or Bose F1
To each their own. Personal preferences
Compare it to SOUNDBOKS
Hopefully canada can shipped the yorkville to Hawaii lol
😂 maybe? Just don’t hold your breath 😂
I don't see the 300 difference. I can buy a small $100 Mackie mixer that gives me every thing Yorkville gives men and more and still come out 150 cheaper.
Do you bro!
Soundboks is the best Mobile speaker 🔊 facts 👏
Soundboks is definetly louder than these speakers i agree.. But i wouldn't use a Soundboks at a wedding
i always hated yorkville's sound and this model is no exception. this unit sounded thin, with no depth to the music. i don't even think a subwoofer can make it sound good. surprisingly, the "cheap" speaker, mackie, sounded much more natural. people who use / buy / like yorkville speakers don't care about quality sound
Your entitled to your opinion. Thanks for watching and for your comment bro
You always sacrifice some sound quality when the speaker gets loud. Both the Mackie and Yorkville are similar size and Power. So as a result, the Yorkville sacrificed quality to reach 8 decibels higher than the Mackie. Mackie sacrificed volume level to maintain quality. All depends which one is more important to you. Me personally I need a louder speaker. A little quality sacrifice is not a big deal. Also another thing to keep in mind is sometimes depending on the song, you may or may not get distortion at full volume. Even after clip, and if the production is amazing? It may not clip at all.
@@bboyStuntZ Couldn't have said it any better!
The Yorkville sounded horrible to me.
Your entitled to your opinion bro. Thanks for your input.
What do you use ?
@@djclassicomar7174 I use them both.. I alternate using them for ceremonies and as monitors
Yorkville sacrifices a little sound quality for loudness while Mackie sacrifices some loudness for sound quality.
Yorkville sounded like poop turned up
Well most speakers when pushed to the limit sound like poop lol.. I just wanted to show how loud it can actually get. Thanks for watching.
Sometimes it depends on the song. I currently use the Yorkville on a regular basis and depending on the song and equalizer settings? It can be turned up full blast no clip and no distortion. The production of the song has to be really good though. Plus the Yorkville goes eight decibels higher than the Mackie. So it's a bit of a apples and oranges comparison in that sense
In this comparison the EXM sounds horrible.
I agree!
Neither.
Everse 8
Still yet to hear the Everse 8 but i heard the volume is comparable to the Yorkville Exm mobile 8
