About the Mackie SPM200 Speaker Pole for Thump18S and SRM1850
The Mackie SPM200 is a heavy-duty, telescoping speaker pole specifically engineered to safely mount full-range loudspeakers onto compatible powered subwoofers, such as the Mackie Thump18S and SRM1850, to create a compact and elevated PA system ideal for mobile DJs, musicians, and small venue sound reinforcement. Constructed from durable, high-grade steel with a corrosion-resistant black finish, the pole is designed to handle substantial weight and dynamic forces, ensuring stability during transport and performance. Its telescoping design allows for adjustable height, typically extending to place the top-mounted speaker at an optimal listening level above the audience, while its collapsing feature makes it compact for storage and transportation. The pole incorporates a secure locking mechanism to prevent accidental slippage or rotation once the desired height is set, providing a reliable and rigid connection between the subwoofer and the satellite speaker.
Installation is straightforward and tool-free, utilizing a standard 35mm pole cup integrated into the top of the compatible subwoofer. The bottom end of the SPM200 features a precision-machined, threaded insert that screws securely into this cup, creating a robust mechanical connection. The top of the pole is equipped with a standard 35mm diameter socket, which accepts the threaded insert found on the bottom of many powered and passive loudspeakers. This universal design ensures compatibility not only with Mackie speakers but also with a wide range of other brands that adhere to the industry-standard pole mount specifications. The pole's design effectively transfers the vibrational energy of the subwoofer through its solid structure, contributing to a cohesive acoustic coupling between the low-frequency and mid-high-frequency components.
Built for the rigors of the road, the Mackie SPM200 emphasizes safety and durability. Its robust construction prevents bending or failure under the weight of heavy speakers, and the secure locking system ensures the speaker remains firmly in place throughout a performance. By providing a stable, adjustable, and universally compatible mounting solution, this speaker pole enables users to quickly assemble professional-grade vertical speaker arrays that improve sound dispersion, reduce floor space usage, and enhance the overall audio experience for both performers and audiences.
