The Mackie is a heavy-duty, telescoping speaker pole engineered to mount a full-range loudspeaker securely on top of compatible Mackie powered subwoofers, specifically the Thump18S and SRM1850 models. This pole enables the creation of a compact, integrated, and elevated PA system, which is essential for mobile DJs, musicians, and sound providers who need efficient setup, optimal sound coupling, and improved audience coverage. The pole is constructed from high-strength steel with a durable black powder-coat finish, built to withstand the physical demands of touring while safely supporting the weight of a substantial top speaker. Its telescoping design allows the user to adjust the height of the satellite speaker, typically extending to position the high-frequency drivers well above the crowd for clear projection, and then locking securely in place.

This specific SKU represents the genuine Mackie accessory kit, ensuring perfect mechanical compatibility. The bottom of the pole features a standard 35mm male threaded insert that screws directly into the pole socket on the subwoofer's top panel, creating a rigid, wobble-free base. The top of the pole has a 35mm internal socket to accept the threaded insert found on the bottom of most powered and passive speakers. The inclusion of a positive pin-lock mechanism prevents the pole from unintentionally collapsing or rotating during a performance. By using this pole, users couple their subwoofer and satellite speaker acoustically and mechanically, which can enhance low-frequency perception and streamline transport by reducing the number of separate speaker stands required.

Purchasing under SKU MCK-2035170 guarantees receipt of an authentic Mackie part with the correct dimensions, thread pitch, and load rating for use with the specified subwoofers. It is a critical hardware component for professionals seeking to build a reliable, space-efficient, and professional-sounding vertical speaker array from their Mackie Thump18S or SRM1850 subwoofer and a compatible top cabinet.
