Announced today ahead of the 2020 NAMM show, Mackie has revealed a new addition to their well known and loved SRM loudspeaker series. The SRM Flex is a self-contained column speaker setup featuring a built-in mixer, effects, Bluetooth and wireless connectivity. It looks to be everything the solo performer could ask for doesn’t it?

Simple no-fuss Setup

Mackie has made it easy for a solo musician to set up their own PA system and get a great sound. Weighing under 30lbs (around 13.5 kilos for those of us in Europe) it’s easy to carry. A built-in 6 channel mixer offers two mic/line inputs, stereo line-in and a Bluetooth channel too. What’s really neat is that the mixer controls can also be operated from your phone via a free app.

SRM Flex comes complete with carrying bags for the subwoofer and speaker column, making transport easy and simple. All that’s needed to complete a self-contained mono PA system are cables and microphones. The system is small and light enough that you could easily carry one on public transport with a guitar slung over your back. Neat!

SRM Flex: Another hit from Mackie?

Mackie suggests that the SRM Flex is powerful enough for audiences up to 100 people; in other words, ideal for coffee shop gigs and the like. If the marketing hype translates to the real world, this should be a real hit with solo musicians and duos. Mackie has a great track record of making affordable, reliable, active speaker systems; we suspect this new addition will be no different!
