Mackie Thump 15 V4 15-Inch Active PA Speaker with Bluetooth
The Mackie Thump 15 V4, also known as the Thump15v4, is a 15-inch active PA speaker for mobile DJs, live performers and event sound. Combining 1400W Class-D amplification with a 15-inch woofer and a 1-inch Lavoce Italiana compression driver, it delivers up to 130dB maximum SPL. Bluetooth streaming, a built-in mixer and SoundCheck DSP bring playback, connections and sound adjustment together in one powered loudspeaker.
Full-Range Sound for DJ Sets and Live Performances
From wedding receptions and parties to vocal performances, the Thump 15 V4 offers a flexible foundation for your PA system. Its full-range design handles music and speech, while the built-in amplifier removes the need to carry a separate power amp. Connect your DJ controller or mixer for your main performance, then use Bluetooth playback for background music between sets.
SoundCheck DSP Settings for Your Application
Different performances need different speaker settings. Mackie's SoundCheck DSP provides four selectable voicing modes, helping you adapt the speaker to your source and how you position it:
- Flat: A neutral starting point for externally mixed audio, keyboards and guitar modelling setups.
- DJ: Voicing tailored to recorded music and DJ playback.
- Live: Settings suited to vocals, speech and live events.
- Wedge: Voicing for using the cabinet on its side as a stage monitor.
Bluetooth Streaming and Thump Connect 2 App Control
Stream audio from a compatible smartphone or tablet, and link two Thump 15 V4 speakers for Bluetooth playback in stereo, zone or dual mono configurations. Bluetooth audio can play alongside the wired inputs and is included in the XLR mix output, making it useful when combining music playback with connected audio equipment.
The Thump Connect 2 app provides wireless access to speaker settings and EQ. Make adjustments from a listening position in the room, helping you assess the sound where your audience will hear it.
Built-In Mixer for Microphones and Line-Level Sources
Two XLR/TRS combo inputs accommodate equipment such as DJ controllers, mixers and keyboards. Channel 1 includes mic/line switching for a suitable microphone, while channel 2 also offers a 3.5mm input for a wired playback device. For straightforward presentations or smaller performances, these onboard connections can reduce the need for an external mixer.
Practical Tools for Announcements and Event Setup
Music Ducking automatically lowers playback when you speak into the microphone, making announcements easier to hear without manually changing the music level each time. Feedback Eliminator helps control microphone feedback, while Outdoor mode adjusts the sound for open-air use. These functions give mobile entertainers and performers useful tools when moving between different event spaces.
A Portable Speaker That Can Grow with Your PA
Weighing 14.8kg and fitted with metal carrying handles, the Mackie Thump 15 V4 is designed for regular transport between rehearsals, venues and events. Use it on a suitable speaker stand for your main PA or in the wedge position for monitoring. For a system with dedicated low-frequency reinforcement, combine your full-range speakers with a Mackie Thump 15S V4 or Thump 18S V4 active subwoofer.
Choose the Mackie Thump 15 V4 active speaker if you need one cabinet to cover DJ playback, live sound and stage monitoring, with convenient wireless playback and accessible sound controls. Contact DJ Superstore for help choosing speakers, stands, cables and subwoofers for your setup.
