One of my final posts from the excellent NAMM 2011 show is from a well-known audio maker who is legendary when it comes to production gear and audio quality. Introducing the Mackie TH-12A and TH-15A Powered Loudspeakers in twelve-inch and fifteen-inch woofer configurations; and the Mackie MR5mk2 and MR8mk2 Powered Studio Monitors in five-inch and eight-inch woofer configurations. Having used Mackie speakers and monitors during countless sessions in the studio, I know that these speakers will more than likely live up to the hype and deliver leading-class sound quality and reliability.

There's been lots of pro-audio speakers coming out on the market as of late and longtime speaker manufacturer Mackie decided to add some new actively powered 1000W speakers to its existing SRM and Thump Series lineups. The new SRM350 and SRM450 both exhibit the same durable build quality and portability as the originals and the new Thump Series has been completely revamped to house the new 1000W class-D internal amplifier.

LINE6 has introduced a new powered speaker lineup for mobile DJ's and performers called the StageSource Smart Speakers. This new speaker lineup includes the L3t loudspeaker, the L3m monitor, and the L3s subwoofer. All of them have 1200-watts or more of internally tri-amped speaker system with a dual-braced tour-grade plywood enclosure combine to deliver astounding power and reliability. These speakers aren't cheap but their performance is starting to make people take notice. DJ Bassline decided to take the plunge and lets us know of his experience after the jump.

The recently announced Cerwin Vega P1000X powered 10-inch two-way loudspeakers are on full display at this year's Atlantic City DJ Expo and we had DJ Spark give us the video rundown to see where they fit in the CV range. The new P1000X is the new two-way speaker that sports a 10-inch woofer and an internal 1000 watt Continuously powered amplifier.

Pioneer has recently announced the new S-DJ X monitor lineup that is affordable and squarely aimed at DJ's who want good performance speakers in a small form factor. The Pioneer S-DJ X range comes in either the five-inch (S-DJ50X), the six-inch (S-DJ60X), or the eight-inch (S-DJ80X) woofer configurations and have an auto on/off mode to save on power when not in use. They are powered internally by an AB amplifier and Pioneer says that the technology in the woofer design and front port found on these speakers improve air flow with “Groove Technology”. We now have a pair of S-DJ80X monitor speakers in the DJbooth Lab for the full review treatment, but check the unboxing & first impressions video to see what comes in the package.

Late last year, we brought you the full video reviews of the new Alto Professional TrueSonic line of powered speakers. We tested the powered 12-inch two-way speaker, the TS112A and the powered 15-inch subwoofer, the TSSUB15. Both pieces had very nice quality and great sound fidelity for the price they are sold. Now Alto Professional is introducing their TrueSonic Wireless loudspeakers that are meant to deliver great sound remotely from an iPhone, iPad, or other wireless devices. The TS112W (12-inch speaker) and TS115W (15-inch speaker) both come with 800 watts of class D power and can play from a wired or wireless source. More details inside.
