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

Mackie Thump15 V4 Powered PA Speaker for DJ Sets and Live Sound

The Mackie Thump15 V4 pairs a 15-inch woofer with a 1-inch Lavoce Italiana compression driver. Its published response reaches 41Hz at -3dB, compared with 47Hz for the Thump12 V4. That makes it worth considering for bass-led DJ sets when you want deeper extension from your main speakers and have room for the larger cabinets.

Connect a Microphone and Play Music from the Same Speaker

Use the built-in mixer to connect a microphone to channel 1 and a compatible line source to the second channel. Bluetooth can run alongside the wired inputs, so you can stream a playlist while keeping a microphone ready for announcements. Enable Music Ducking to lower the music automatically when you speak. For DJ performance, run a wired feed from your controller and use Bluetooth for background playback between sets.

Set the Voicing for the Job

Use Flat as a starting point when you are shaping the mix upstream, DJ for recorded music, Live for performances or speech, and Wedge when the cabinet is on its side as a floor monitor. With Thump Connect 2, you can adjust settings from the listening area and hear the effect where your audience will be.

Sold as one powered speaker. Stands, bags and additional audio cables are available separately.

Compare the Mackie Thump V4 Range

Thump15 V4 vs Thump12 V4

The Thump15 V4 weighs 14.8kg and measures 696 x 439 x 356mm (H x W x D). The Mackie Thump12 V4 weighs 12.5kg and measures 620 x 356 x 356mm. The 12-inch model saves 2.3kg per cabinet, which can make a difference when you carry a pair or lift them onto stands.

Both models are rated at 1400W peak. The Thump15 V4 reaches 41Hz at -3dB versus 47Hz for the Thump12 V4. Choose the 15-inch model if that extra bass extension matters more to you than the smaller cabinet and lower weight of the 12-inch model.

Add a Dedicated 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.

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.

• 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.

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.
