Mackie Thump 12 V4 & Dual 15S V4 PA Package with Poles & Cables
This Mackie PA package combines two Thump 12 V4 active speakers with two Thump 15S V4 subwoofers. Two adjustable Ultimax M20 poles, two 3m and two 6m StageCore XLR cables complete the bundle, providing a coordinated system for DJs, performers and events using a compatible controller or mixer with XLR outputs.
Mackie Thump 12 V4 12" Active PA Speaker
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.
Who Should Choose the Mackie Thump12 V4?
- Mobile DJs: Build a PA around your controller or mixer and intended venue layout.
- Live performers: Plan connections for vocals, instruments and backing tracks.
- Event organisers: Select equipment for announcements and music playback.
- Musicians: Consider a speaker that can serve different roles across rehearsals and performances.
Choose according to the venue, programme material and required listening level. Wattage alone cannot determine audience capacity.
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" Active PA Subwoofer
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.
- Thump speaker owners: Create a matched system using the available crossover presets.
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.
| Specification | Thump 15S V4 | Thump 18S V4 |
|---|---|---|
| Woofer size | 15 inches | 18 inches |
| Cabinet dimensions (H × W × D) | 470 × 561 × 584 mm | 541 × 630 × 605 mm |
| Cabinet weight | 26 kg | 31.9 kg |
| Frequency response (−10 dB) | 27–160 Hz | 25–160 Hz |
| Maximum SPL (peak) | 132 dB | 132 dB |
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.

Ultimax UTX-220BK Adjustable Speaker Pole With M20 Thread
Ultimax UTX 220BK – Adjustable Telescopic Speaker Pole with M20 Thread
The Ultimax UTX 220BK is a professional telescopic speaker pole designed for positioning a compatible full-range PA speaker above a subwoofer equipped with an M20 threaded pole mount.
Ideal for professional mobile DJs, bands, live performers, venues and PA hire applications, the UTX 220BK provides a clean and space-efficient way of positioning your main PA speaker above a compatible subwoofer without requiring a separate tripod speaker stand.
The lower section of the pole uses an M20 threaded connection, allowing it to attach securely to the corresponding M20 mounting point found on many professional active and passive subwoofers.
At the top, the pole provides the mounting point for a compatible full-range PA speaker, creating the familiar subwoofer + pole + top speaker configuration widely used in professional portable PA systems.
Its telescopic design allows the speaker height to be adjusted to suit the PA configuration, audience and venue rather than restricting the top speaker to a single fixed position.
Finished in black, the UTX 220BK maintains a discreet and professional appearance between the subwoofer and full-range speaker.
For anyone building a professional PA system around compatible M20-equipped subwoofers and pole-mountable top speakers, the Ultimax UTX 220BK provides a practical adjustable mounting solution.
Who Is It For?
Users with M20-equipped subwoofers
Users building compact top-and-sub PA systems
Professional PA system owners
Why Choose the Ultimax UTX 220BK?
The UTX 220BK allows a compatible PA speaker to be positioned directly above an M20-equipped subwoofer, reducing the additional floor space required by a conventional tripod speaker stand.
Its telescopic construction provides adjustable speaker positioning, while the professional black finish keeps the overall PA system looking clean and coordinated.
It is particularly useful for mobile applications where space, transportability and professional presentation are important.
M20 Threaded Subwoofer Connection
The Ultimax UTX 220BK features an M20 threaded lower connection designed for use with compatible professional subwoofers.
The threaded pole screws into the corresponding M20 mounting point on the subwoofer, providing a purpose-designed connection between the subwoofer and speaker pole.
Always check the mounting specifications and compatibility of your speaker and subwoofer before installation.
Telescopic Height Adjustment
The UTX 220BK uses a telescopic design, allowing the position of the top speaker to be adjusted to suit the PA system and venue.
Raising the full-range speaker above the subwoofer can help position the high-frequency section more effectively towards the audience while also creating a clean professional PA configuration.
Ideal for Top & Subwoofer PA Systems
The UTX 220BK is particularly useful for systems configured as:
Active Subwoofer → UTX 220BK → Active PA Speaker
It can also be used with compatible passive equipment where the mounting requirements are suitable.
This arrangement uses the subwoofer as the base for the main speaker, reducing the floor space required compared with positioning a separate tripod stand alongside the subwoofer.
Space-Saving Alternative to Tripod Speaker Stands
One of the biggest advantages of an M20 speaker pole is its compact footprint.
Instead of positioning a tripod stand alongside each subwoofer, the full-range speaker can be mounted directly above the subwoofer.
For mobile DJs and performers working in venues where floor space can be limited, this can create a considerably cleaner and more efficient setup.
Professional Black Finish
The UTX 220BK is finished in black to complement professional PA speakers and subwoofers.
Once installed between two black speaker cabinets, the pole remains visually discreet and helps maintain a clean, professional appearance.
The Ultimax UTX 220BK Telescopic M20 Speaker Pole provides a practical and professional way to position a compatible full-range PA speaker directly above an M20-equipped subwoofer.
Its telescopic construction provides adjustable speaker positioning, while the M20 threaded lower connection is designed for use with compatible professional subwoofers.
Using a speaker pole above a subwoofer also reduces the additional floor space required by a conventional tripod speaker stand, making this configuration particularly useful for mobile DJs, bands and event professionals.
