It great I use them all the time for house/park parties and although you wouldn’t use them from wedding receptions it’s a perfect complement for outdoor wireless battery powered wedding ceremony systems..and they work great as monitors when DJing a wedding reception with larger speakers
Definitely a speaker for most DJ's to have on hand. The Thump GO is a great backup speaker, booth monitor, and great for outdoor events where power is limited. Love it! Great review as always :D
Hi Phil, as the UK Business Development Manager for Polar UK who are the UK distributor for Mackie, We just wanted to thank you for this great video. The interest and exposure these bring is very much appreciated. If there is anything we could do to help you do more, please reach out to me.
Great review, Phil! I've got a pair of these and I think they're absolutely brilliant for most of the reasons you mentioned (small, light, great sound, long battery life, etc.). Would they replace my main speakers array if I were doing an event in a big room?... No. But I'd use them in a heartbeat for an outdoor party, wedding ceremony, house party, beach party, DJ monitors, as satellite speakers in an extra room, etc. They're also fantastic for the purpose for which I picked them up. To DJ sets in out of the way locations where power outlets might be scarce. Pair these little beauties with a Denon Prime Go and you've got yourself the ultimate battery powered DJ setup. BTW, folks... Though they may be small in size, they do live up to their name and pack a surprising amount of thump.
@@NLralphjacobs There are a lot of options out there for your main speaker array for mobile events. Right now, I've got a pair of JBL EON ONE line arrays (with sub-woofers) and I love 'em. A line array like these (or Bose, for example) should do you fine, but you may want to get a more traditional setup (for instance, EV tops with subs) if you think you need more volume. My best advice is to go out and have a listen for yourself. There's no one better to determine what you need than you.
Great review! I bought 4 and use them 3-4 times a week , plenty loud indoor outdoor , the battery does last at least 6 hrs never had to use them longer, 50% volume battery is still on the green after 5 hrs! Bought 4 spare batteries and they rock, the bluetooth does work well, as far as using them for speech the mic channel is not hot on the output so I usually run a battery powered mixer, believe it or not they are hard to find but I use a Behringer Battery powered mixed if I need to go wireless
GREAT INFORMATION, thank you. I am in the middle of deciding whether I/we want to purchase a pair of these for our outdoor wedding ceremonies. I have been a DJ for 15 years. Yes, we have much larger powered speakers for everything else. We use a JBL EON ONE PRO for battery powered ceremonies, but looking to have a matching pair of two that can be pole mounted. Thanks again man.
I do low key sax with backing tracks gigs, and my 30lb QSC CP12's sound amazing, and can get real loud and stay clean, but they get heavier every year (I'm on the wrong side of 50). I'm thinking these Thump Gos could really be the ticket for house parties, wedding cocktail hours and nursing homes, so save my lower back when I can, even setting aside the battery flexibility. Thanks for this thoughtful video!
Great review and nice touch to have an app. As a dj in bars and clubs but also sometimes small events I have the JBL Eon One and love it. As a singer also it is great that it has "reverb" on it. Looking at this and the JBL Eon One they basically have the same thing just the Mackie does not have Reverb. The JBL also has control of Bass and Treble vs Modes on the Mackie. The JBL also does have two USB-A ports which I have never used but might be good for others. The JBL also has two 1/8" ports (one for AUX and one for headphones). I have used the Mackie Thumb before for bigger events (non wireless) and always loved the sound. All in all, it is nice to have options now, and yes they are great to also have at home for producing and feeling - hearing how the music will sound. I have had problems though when wanting to use the bluetooth on the JBL though I rarely use it when at home.
Thanks for your review,it convinced us to buy one. Then we got another one! Two of these on stands along with a powered 12 or 15 inch sub will blow you away in a small club,especially in a stereo set-up. Excellent with a BOSS GT-1 battery operated guitar and vocal pedals.
I did a outdoor speaker test on my Harbinger vari v2310, I set the main volume knob to 3:00 and it's Extremely Loud when you do 80 ft back away it's still loud and I can feel the bass all the way there. And no it does not blow my speaker up. I really enjoyed my new 10-in speaker 😎💯
These are my go-to paired with a Denon Prime go on a small clamp table stand with 2 pole mounts. Perfect portable ceremony setup used with a senheisser wireless lapel, all battery powered!
This seems like just the battery speaker I am looking for, however everyone that loves them in use has two. Is this still the best speaker for house party/rooftop use? Would typically be what I use them most for. Thanks!
Thanks for this video!! I now have two Mackie Go’s because of this review and I love them!! But now I want a subwoofer without breaking the bank after getting two of these. Any recommendations? And if I should get one big one or two medium ones to pole mount the Go’s on the subs. Thanks so much for all your reviews again!
Great video, thanks! I have 1 mackie thump go and 1 mackie subwoofer... is it best to plug the sub into channel 1 or the 'thru' port on the thump go? OR doesn't matter / make difference.
I currently use a UE Hyperboom. 2x when I have my friends and use an RAC-> 3.5mm audio is great but I am looking for a different setup with xlr. These are definitely at the top of my list for a new speaker setup. I plan to run 2 of these bad boys. Hobby DJ and small events/pop up busking think these would be fantastic for what I need them to do. Love the videos been around for a lot of the content helping me get better every day 🤗
@@dills__ yes I do. Personally I haven’t had any latency issues on the 3.5mm jack. (RCA -> 3.5mm AUX) and I run 1 cable for both speakers. Volume/clarity is good but compared to speakers that are actually made to be used for portable performance it’s bottom of the barrel. Still gets the job done tho
Any DSP option to adjust the bass? Mackie Thumps have a history of over-hyping the bass (compared to the competition) so I wonder if this can be adjusted beyond “voice” vs “music” mode. Oh, i see it on the phone connectivity section at the end. How is the bass? Over-hyped and muddy OR clear and punchy?
How does this compare to the HK Audio Move 8? If you had to choose a set, which would you go for? The review and write up only briefly mentions it as an alternative, and I can't find any other comments on either video about it. Huge thanks!!
Looking for advice, I have 2x mackie thump go, mainly used at home but have a outdoor family party coming up and looking for the extra thump, any suggestions? About €600 budget can stretch the extra little bit
So I just recently purchased the soundboks go and I was disappointed with it. It lacks base to fill a room and it sounds way too bright. How is the base on this monitor and would you recommend this over the sound box go? Any help is appreciated thank you.
As a musician and singer, I'm having mixed thoughts on this one. The one I'm having an issue with is vocals. And although it does sound great, initially I'm having issues with the fact that it sounds a bit muddy and I have to overcompensate with high end frequency to make up for it. I do that by putting it through a mixer. Also mackie. Does anyone agree? any thoughts? I am a male singer by the way
All about the baby HK systems (Nanos), despite the fragile stands. So good for sound, portability and low visual profile. Sure they don't have batteries, but a camp battery pack takes care of that, with more inherent flexibility.
Now I got an everse 8 to have at least 1 comparison to these kind of speakers... And... For electronic music the Mackie thump even beats that one in my opinion. It has an incredible punch that the everse just don't deliver. Maybe for other styles, like acoustics the everse maybe a pinch better as it has a very warm feeling, although the clearness of the Mackie highs is incredible, the bass gets down a pinch lower on the everse, but not that much. In both cases you would need a sub. Thought it would go way deeper in comparison but did not that much as I expected. Comes down to taste in my opinion. Will play around a little with the everse, but I think it will go back... The only point for the everse are the FX and the ability to pair them to play one source wireless to both speakers... Maybe Mackie can come up with a firmware update to fix this. As I play my FX from laptop, and mostly play edm the Mackie is a beast for the price and size... it is a little heavier and bigger than the everse, but that amount of difference in the price isn't worth it..if you don't need FX.... And maybe for that it lacks that funky punch.. .almost feels like one of those big club speakers... Amazing....and somehow it even looks better, great design as well :) a small one like everse with a subwoofer style pumping base with the punch, clearness and design of the Mackie would be the thing... . Thank you for your accurate reviews Phil !!!!!
If I connect a mic via the trs jack, will the second speaker also transmit the mic from the first speaker. I have a jbl 310 currently and although Bluetooth works across both speakers, the microphone doesn't.
@@digitaldjtips Thanks! What would you define as small? I'm currently in California for half a year and I didn't bring my DJ equipment with me. I was thinking about just getting one of these to play a few sets at the beach or at small house parties with a few friends.
How would this compare to a DBtechnologies B Hype 8 in terms of sound quality/output? I know it’s not battery powered but I’m not bothered about that I am just looking for a small lightweight speaker as a monitor that has a decent output
Huge problem for me. The only out is a dry Thru. It is incorrect to say that “everything over here (channel 1,2,by) comes out the Thru”. Bluetooth music does NOT come out the Thru. Also bad is that when music is wired in the 1/8”, music and channel 1 mic goes to Thru - hood, but Ducking effect does NOT. Super bad design. You can’t use this for BT and Mic Ducking then add more speakers for more volume.
@@digitaldjtips It would seem like it should be a mix out, not a dry thru. And it’s not just the Bluetooth, it’s also the ducking, which some DJ and PA announcer types may like to use. That feature doesn’t go thru either. It’s a good stand-alone device, but useless if Outs are needed to add more powered speakers.
How does one of these compare to a Soundboks Go? I have only heard one comparison, the Soundboks Go seems much more powerful, but it could have just been my hearing.
@@Positive_Tea The lights on them are inbuilt. But just like i did say the 310 are nearly to loud for home use. But if you planing to host partys than you wont need extra subwoofer because of the deep and loud bass from the JBL 310s.
Here are more details about the Mackie Thump Go speaker between timestamp 7:00 and 12:49: - The speaker proved to be an excellent choice for DJ practice and small parties, with its impressive sound quality in indoor settings. It's not intended for professional music production but excels in its primary applications. - There is a desire for a slight improvement in terms of microphone inputs, as the speaker lacks a dedicated on/off button for microphones or the option to add a touch of reverb. This could enhance the microphone performance, particularly for performers. - The Mackie Thump Go comes with an app that allows some additional control over the speaker, including input muting and volume control. While the app offers extra customization options, it's not essential for basic operation, and some users might find it slightly distracting. - The speaker is built with feet all around it,making it easy to place in various positions. This design flexibility allows it to stand in different orientations, whether on the floor, as a bookshelf speaker, or even mounted on a tripod. - In summary, the Mackie Thump Go is a versatile and well-made speaker with good battery life. It offers an appealing combination of portability, sound quality, and tweakability, making it a recommendable choice for hobby DJs and those who perform at small parties or need a versatile speaker for various applications. For more in-depth information, you can refer to the full review on Digital DJ Tips.
Look nice, but honestly it’s very similar to my current JBL EON One Compact . If there was a SKAA implementation, maybe I would consider switching to something new 🤔
My portable Dj speakers were a pair of JBL pro 2x15” and horn 150lb speakers max 135db 😂. Slid into the back of a suburban and a dolly on top. Super portably? No. Loud and awesome as fuck? Yes.
Used this at a house party recently. Was heard 490 yards away. Insane sound
did you use one or two?
Did you use 1 speaker or 2 speakers sir?
Did you use one speaker or a pair monsieur?
Fantastic
It great I use them all the time for house/park parties and although you wouldn’t use them from wedding receptions it’s a perfect complement for outdoor wireless battery powered wedding ceremony systems..and they work great as monitors when DJing a wedding reception with larger speakers

The thump should get louder, shouldn't it?

We'll see what we can do.
@@digitaldjtips dope! Cuz the ladies love the bass!!!
great video Phil! A comparison with the Bose S1 Pro would be interesting.
Also a comparison to the Soundboks!
We haven't reviewed the Bose, but we do have a roundup video coming soon with the models we have reviewed.
Great suggestion. Look forward to seeing Round up
Great video Phil.
thanks
Great overview - thanks! How would I go about connecting this to a phono out controller?
Just get the right lead, it'll work fine

No idea, the sub's instructions will tell you
Thank you for an awesome review!
Glad it was helpful!
I was about to invest in one until I notice it has no reverb :(
great info Phil. If I connected say a wireless mic system like an Audio Technica Pro 88, Rode wireless go etc. would it work well?
No reason why not that I can see

Yes, especially if you get a couple of folding stands/poles too.
@@digitaldjtips how would you compare the audio quality of the Thump Go to the Bose S1 Pro?
Do you use the Hyperboom for DJing? I have tried but find it pretty much unusable due to the latency on the 3.5mm in…
@@dills__ yes I do. Personally I haven’t had any latency issues on the 3.5mm jack. (RCA -> 3.5mm AUX) and I run 1 cable for both speakers.
Volume/clarity is good but compared to speakers that are actually made to be used for portable performance it’s bottom of the barrel. Still gets the job done tho
What cables would I need to connect 2 of these speakers together and then the speakers to my pioneer decks
I want to use party speakers for be Dj can I use party speakers for DJ with out mixer only I use my phone or laptop without mixer.

JBL BoomBox II also has a jack interface next to bluetooth. So it can be used without any latency
Probably still has latency due to the DSP - most wired Bluetooth speakers nowadays are this way.
Another use for this speaker… Mobile/Wedding Djs…. Ceremony and Cocktail hour
Yes, excellent use.
How does this compare to the HK Audio Move 8? If you had to choose a set, which would you go for? The review and write up only briefly mentions it as an alternative, and I can't find any other comments on either video about it.
Huge thanks!!
The HK is a more traditional build , this is more modern/lighter. I'd be happy with either.
Mackie Thump Go VS JBL Eon Compact VS Bose S1 Pro VS Marshall Tufton who wins??
Also would like to see it go head to head with the Bose S1 Pro 😁
Curious to hear this
How does a pair of these compare to a singular soundboks, mainly for smaller DJ gigs and parties.
Two speakers will always be better for DJing, more practical/flexible.
Looking for advice, I have 2x mackie thump go, mainly used at home but have a outdoor family party coming up and looking for the extra thump, any suggestions? About €600 budget can stretch the extra little bit
Add a subwoofer

Thanks for sharing - we have a "big" Mackies review coming up soon.
Looks like we have a winner
for a home dj in an apartment, would only one of these speakers and a subwoofer be OK?
No need for the subwoofer
If I connect a mic via the trs jack, will the second speaker also transmit the mic from the first speaker. I have a jbl 310 currently and although Bluetooth works across both speakers, the microphone doesn't.
Pretty sure the answer is no
This speaker rocks, but the bass thins out when the volume is pumped up... Could you recommend any mobile (possibly battery powered) sub for this?
No, we don;t know of any mobile/battery subs worth telling you about.
@@digitaldjtips thanks!!!! Think they are very limited still
So having just watched your review for the Soundboks 3...I have to ask which is better?
Soundboks 3 is, but is more than double the price and much larger.
Mackie makes pretty good PA stuff. Would love to see a comparison between this and a Minirig 3 setup with subwoofer tho!
This will be much louder than the Minirig.
Can I connect two mics and guitar ?
Could i connect my decks to just one of these?
Yes
Is one of these enough for DJing small parties?
Very small, yes. Two, definitely.
@@digitaldjtips Thanks! What would you define as small?
I'm currently in California for half a year and I didn't bring my DJ equipment with me. I was thinking about just getting one of these to play a few sets at the beach or at small house parties with a few friends.
How do you plug a controller into this? Do you use both channels or do you use a xlr splitter to go into just one channel?
It has a stereo input.
@@digitaldjtips the 3.5mm aux?
Same question, is there anyway to get a balanced stereo signal to a single one of these speakers?
Is it a good speaker for ddj flx 4? And does it has aux input 3.5mm

Don't know, not reviewed that one.
hi Phil, how does it compares to the soundboks 3 in your opinion?
Smaller, lighter, quieter.
@@digitaldjtips I’ve just ordered one to test how much quiet ✌🏻 thanks for your great work
A pair of these over the Soundboks 3 would be a good alternative.. Stereo separation for the win.

There is a delay in the master output in JBL speakers, like half a second, makes lining beats up by ear impossible!
Thump Go is twice as loud as PB110 but has little bass in comparison.
can i plug and electric guitar?
The Alto TX models are good. Great sound and cheaper if I remember rightly.
Thanks for the heads up.
are they battery powered though?
Soundboks 3 or Soundboks Go. Beats them all. 😊
How does this compare to the freeplay live?

Latenacy? And compared to mini rig 3?
Zero with a wire.
Look nice, but honestly it’s very similar to my current JBL EON One Compact . If there was a SKAA implementation, maybe I would consider switching to something new 🤔
IT is quite similar to the JBL.
How loud is it?
One big downside not mentioned: Using Bluetooth you can not use the through out to a sub or Aux speaker, signal does not transfer.
This is true. So disappointed
I think we did mention it in the write-up, but thanks for highlighting it.
Mackie are great
How is the bass on these? Im more of an EDM DJ.
Fine for the size
Good video. Work on your hand placement though!
Is the little Mackie Man supposed to spin when you touch him? :)
better than the JBL partybox 310?
My portable Dj speakers were a pair of JBL pro 2x15” and horn 150lb speakers max 135db 😂. Slid into the back of a suburban and a dolly on top. Super portably? No. Loud and awesome as fuck? Yes.
Sounds like you loved them!
I love my jbl eon compact perfect monitor and for everything
We hope to review the JBL soon.
A pair for £500 would be a steal. It would corner the market.
We can dream...
How many of these do you need for a small patio party of 10 people? :)
1 is good, 2 better
These are a good deal. The JBL Eon One Compact is very similar, except the JBL is almost 50% more expensive and the Mackie is louder.
Thanks for the info Raquel
No RCA input? It's a no for me.
use channel 2, a conversion cable costs only a few bucks
@@hvxcolors396 TRS jacks are unstable unlike RCAs.
@@joeharrycanson5967 Whut? why?
@@NexuJin TRS jacks have tendency to loose, plus it has that "buzz" noise.
Use the xlr input🤷♂️
👍👍👍👍
EV EVERSE 8!!!!!
Does it come without the logo and that ugly green light?
If that matters to you, you can remove the logo and turn off the light. (There is a button on the back that does that, as mentioned in the review.)
speaker review with no clip of the actual speaker playing wtf
What do you think that would achieve? Playing a speaker through our microphones and your speakers? 🤷🏻
@@digitaldjtips watched another review and the man came with db measurements and sound comparison between a bunch of different ones
A few more words on the sound would've been good
Did you read the accompanying written review? They were in there.
I have two. HATE them. Get something else.
Lots of people like them. So to be useful, you should share why you don't.
