Mackie Thump 12 V4 Speakers & 15S V4 Subwoofer Package with Stands & Cables

Mackie Thump12 V4 12-Inch Active PA Speaker with Bluetooth

The Mackie Thump12 V4 combines powerful sound, Bluetooth playback and straightforward control in a portable powered speaker for DJs, musicians and events. Its 1400W Class-D amplifier drives a 12-inch woofer and a 1-inch Lavoce Italiana compression driver, delivering up to 129dB maximum SPL. Weighing 12.5kg, it is practical to transport between gigs, rehearsals and venues.

SoundCheck DSP for DJs, Live Performances and Monitoring

SoundCheck DSP gives you four voicing modes to suit the way you use the speaker. Choose DJ mode for music playback, Live mode for vocals and performances, Flat mode when shaping the sound through your mixer, or Wedge mode when using the cabinet as a floor monitor. These selectable settings make it easier to find a suitable starting point during setup.

Bluetooth Streaming, Speaker Linking and App Control

Stream music from your phone or tablet, then link two Thump12 V4 speakers wirelessly for stereo, zone or dual-mono playback. The Thump Connect 2 app lets you adjust settings and EQ from your listening position. Bluetooth playback can run alongside the analogue inputs and is included in the XLR mix output, making it useful for background music between performances.

Built-In Mixer for Microphones and DJ Equipment

Two XLR/TRS combo inputs accommodate your performance equipment, with a mic/line switch on channel 1 and an additional 3.5mm input on channel 2. Connect a DJ controller, mixer, microphone or keyboard, then adjust the input levels and overall volume directly on the speaker. The XLR mix output provides a convenient connection to another powered speaker.

Feedback Control, Music Ducking and Outdoor Mode

The built-in Feedback Eliminator helps control microphone feedback, while Music Ducking automatically lowers the music when you speak into a connected microphone. For outdoor events, Outdoor Mode adjusts the sound to compensate for the change in acoustic conditions. These tools simplify everyday operation, with speaker placement and sensible gain settings still essential for the best results.

A Portable Speaker That Can Grow with Your Setup

Use the Thump12 V4 on a suitable speaker stand, as a wedge monitor or above a compatible subwoofer using an appropriate speaker pole. Premium metal handles help with carrying, while the built-in limiter helps protect against excessive signal levels. For greater bass reinforcement, pair it with a Mackie Thump15S V4 or Thump18S V4 active subwoofer.

Sold individually. Speaker stands, poles, subwoofers and audio cables are sold separately. For DJ mixing and other timing-sensitive performances, connect your equipment using suitable audio cables. Outdoor Mode adjusts the sound; it does not make the speaker weatherproof.

Compare the Mackie Thump V4 Range

Mackie Thump12 V4 vs Thump15 V4

The Thump12 V4 is the smaller, lighter option at 12.5kg, measuring 620 x 356 x 356mm. The Mackie Thump15 V4 weighs 14.8kg and measures 696 x 439 x 356mm. Dimensions are height x width x depth.

The Thump15 V4 offers deeper published bass extension, reaching 41Hz at -3dB compared with 47Hz for the Thump12 V4. Choose the Thump12 V4 when easier handling and a smaller cabinet are priorities; consider the Thump15 V4 when deeper bass extension is useful and you can accommodate the additional size and weight.

Add Dedicated Bass Reinforcement

• Mackie Thump15S V4 15-Inch Active PA Subwoofer – consider dedicated bass reinforcement for DJ sets, music playback or live performance.
• Mackie Thump18S V4 18-Inch Active PA Subwoofer – compare this larger subwoofer option, allowing sufficient space for transport, handling and placement.

A subwoofer complements your main speakers rather than replacing them. Assess your venue, programme material and required listening level before choosing your configuration.

Also Consider the Mackie Thrash V2 Range

Thrash V2 is a separate Mackie active speaker range. Compare its connections, controls and performance with Thump V4 before deciding.

• Mackie Thrash12 V2 Powered PA Speaker – an alternative 12-inch model to include in your comparison.
• Mackie Thrash15 V2 Powered PA Speaker – a 15-inch alternative to assess against your application and transport requirements.

Mackie Thump 15S V4 15-Inch Active PA Subwoofer

The Mackie Thump 15S V4, also known as the Thump15Sv4, is a 15-inch active PA subwoofer for DJs, musicians and venues adding dedicated bass to a full-range speaker system. Its 1400W peak Class-D amplifier and 15-inch woofer deliver up to 132dB peak SPL, giving kick drums, basslines and electronic music a more substantial foundation.

Why Add a Subwoofer to Your PA?

If your existing speakers handle vocals and music well but you want more weight on the dance floor, a dedicated subwoofer is a practical next step. It handles the low-frequency part of your mix, complementing the full-range speakers that reproduce vocals, instruments and higher-frequency detail. For wedding DJs, party hosts and live performers, this lets you build a system around the sound your events require.

Crossover Settings for Your Mackie Speakers

Matching a subwoofer to your main speakers is about how they work together. The Thump 15S V4 includes high-pass presets for Thump 12 V4, Thump 15 V4 and Thump GO speakers, plus a Variable mode for manually selecting the crossover when using other suitable PA loudspeakers.

Connect your powered speakers to the subwoofer's high-pass outputs to filter the bass sent to them. This divides the frequency range between the subwoofer and your main speakers, reducing the deep-bass demands placed on the tops. It is particularly useful when upgrading an existing pair of active speakers into a complete DJ PA system.

Connect a DJ Controller or Mixer

Stereo XLR inputs accept audio from a suitable DJ controller, mixing desk or other line-level source. Separate high-pass outputs feed your main speakers, while full-range outputs provide a connection for expanding the system with another subwoofer. The built-in amplifier means no separate power amplifier is required.

For a mobile DJ starting with two powered speakers, this provides a straightforward upgrade path: add the subwoofer, route your audio through it and set the crossover to suit your speakers. Plan the signal cables and mains connections before your first event so setup at the venue is familiar.

Balance the Bass for Each Event

A dedicated level control lets you balance the subwoofer against your main speakers. Use soundcheck to find a level that supports the music without overwhelming vocals or announcements. The phase-invert switch gives you another adjustment when checking how the subwoofer and tops combine at the crossover.

A Practical Choice for Mobile Setups

The Thump 15S V4 weighs 26kg and includes carrying handles. Before buying, consider your vehicle space, storage and loading arrangements as well as the sound you need. For a tidy setup, its M20 pole socket accepts a compatible speaker pole, allowing a suitable full-range cabinet to sit above the subwoofer.

Choose the Mackie Thump 15S V4 powered subwoofer when you want to extend a compatible PA system with dedicated low-frequency reinforcement and accessible crossover controls. Contact DJ Superstore for help matching your subwoofer, speakers and accessories to the events you play.

Who Is the Mackie Thump 15S V4 For?

• Mobile DJs: Add dedicated bass reinforcement to an existing active speaker setup.
• Wedding and party entertainers: Build a PA for music playback, dancing and announcements.
• Live musicians: Support bass instruments, electronic drums and backing tracks through the PA.
• Venues: Expand a full-range system for music-led events.

Mackie Thump 15S V4 vs Thump 18S V4: Which Subwoofer Should You Choose?

Choose the Thump 15S V4 if you regularly load your PA into a vehicle and want the smaller, lighter cabinet. At 26 kg, it weighs 5.9 kg less than the 18-inch model and takes up less space alongside your speakers, stands and other equipment.

Choose the Mackie Thump 18S V4 18-inch active PA subwoofer if you have room for the larger cabinet and want slightly deeper bass extension. Mackie specifies a low-frequency limit of 25 Hz at −10 dB, compared with 27 Hz for the Thump 15S V4.

Complete Your Mackie Thump15S V4 Setup

• Fitted subwoofer cover: Add the Mackie Thump15S V4 Subwoofer Cover to help keep dust and dirt off the cabinet in storage and in transit. Side openings let you reach the built-in handles with the cover fitted.
• Full-range PA speakers: Pair the subwoofer with the Mackie Thump12 V4 12-inch Active PA Speaker or the Mackie Thump15 V4 15-inch Active PA Speaker.
• Bags for the Thump15 V4 full-range speaker: Choose the Mackie Thump15 V4 / Thrash15 V2 Speaker Carry Bag for carrying by hand or the Mackie Thump15 V4 / Thrash15 V2 Rolling Speaker Bag for wheeling the speaker into the venue. Both bags are for the full-range speaker; use the fitted subwoofer cover above for the Thump15S V4.
• XLR cables: Choose balanced XLR cables long enough to reach from your mixer to the subwoofer and from the subwoofer to your full-range speakers.
