    I bought a pair of these along with a Thump 118s sub. The "thru" output doesn't pass along the Bluetooth signal. The only way BT works is via the link option. I went with these because of the BT feature mainly. Thinking about the ease of running these and not needing to drag along a mixer. I asked Mackie what their thoughts were behind this and got no response other than... we will pass this along to our team.

      why not just use a mixer that has bt support or get a bluetooth dongle for a mixer. Simple solutions. mixers can get rlly small too if "dragging" along a mixer is the issue.

      @@yonickmyman totally. I ended up buying a Bluetooth adapter. My issue is they push these at Bluetooth capable… which they are to an extent. My thoughts were for using these without a mixer in some instances. 75% of the time I need the mixer so it’s no big deal. But other times it would be nice to have these linked and not have to worry about the extra cables and mixer.

      Sorry to bother you but,
      I just got the new Mackie XT this morning.
      When I unpacked them, there were a lots of particles of oil inside the plastic bag and on the speakers too.
      When I plugged them there is a very strong hiss noise for both speakers (First time I hear this so loud on Active Speakers)
      Did those matters happened to too?
      When you got therm,?
      Should I send them back to the shop?

    I'm wondering.... I direct children's classroom musicals. We perform in the school gym/multi-purpose room (audience: 100-150 parents). I have an older pair of Thump 15" speakers which are due to be replaced. Would 12" speakers be undersized for our venue. Low end is not an issue. To make children's voices audible, we need more high than low. I'm looking at the 215XT speakers now, but I'd prefer the 212XT if they were loud enough for our venue.

    To note that am a begineer dj who plays in family parties etc, well up to 120 pax.
    so, which 1 to go with? the 215 seems to have more bass but is it worth sacrificing the other additional options on the 212 Xt to go for the additional bass on the 215?

What company these days doesn't know that true wattage specs is the 1st thing customers look for when purchasing any speaker. This could be a 300 watt RMS Loud Speaker with fluffed wattage numbers like many crappy companies we see being reviewed on UA-cam today and being called out for fake wattage numbers.
