19.NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly
approved by LOUD Technologies Inc. could void the user's authority to

radioélectriques dépassant las limites applicables aux appareils
numériques de class A/de class B (selon le cas) prescrites dans le
réglement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par les ministere des
communications du Canada.
21.Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing
loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced
hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to
sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified
the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart.
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits
could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all
persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation.
Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn
when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing
loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here:

Before you begin, please make sure you read the
Safety Instructions on page 2 and Getting Started
on page 4.
Your new Mackie SRM1801 powered subwoofers
are designed to set up quickly and operate easily.
We know it’s often seen as a sign of weakness to
read a manual, along with asking for directions
when lost, but we hope you will read the rest of the
manual, at least while nobody is looking.
It is important to keep your receipt in a
safe place, and not a bad idea to write your
product information below for future reference
(i.e., insurance claims, tech support, return
authorization, etc.).
Please write the serial number for your SRM1801 here
(or for both SRM1801’s if you have two) for future reference
(i.e., insurance claims, tech support, return authorization, etc.):

Getting Started
The following steps will help you set up your
subwoofer(s) quickly.
INITIAL SETTINGS:
1. Turn the LEVEL control on the rear panel all the
way down.
2. Turn the POWER switch OFF.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Connect the line-level signal from a mixer (or other
signal source) to the INPUT jack on the SRM1801
rear panel (XLR connector). If you are operating the
system in stereo, connect INPUT B, as well.
2. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the IEC
socket on the back of the subwoofer. Plug the other
end into an AC outlet properly configured with the
correct voltage as indicated just above the IEC
socket.
TURN IT ON:
1. Turn the POWER switch ON.
2. Start your signal source (mp3 player, CD, DAW,
band, or whatever), but leave the master level
control on your mixer down.
3. Slowly turn up the LEVEL control on the SRM1801
to the “U” (unity gain) mark at the center position.
4. Adjust the master volume on your mixer to a
comfortably loud listening level. If the volume from
the subwoofer gets really loud, really fast, try turning
down the LEVEL control on the SRM1801 a bit. If
the subwoofers don’t get loud enough, turn up the
LEVEL control to achieve a good balance of master
volume control and loudness from the subwoofer.
Now that you have your subwoofers working, it’s time
to hunker down and read the rest of this manual…
especially the following:
ADDITIONAL TIDBITS OF WIDSDOM:
• Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods. Please see the Safety Instructions on page 2 for information on hearing protection.
• When you shut down your equipment, turn off the SRM1801 subwoofers first to prevent thumps and other noises generated by any upstream equipment from coming out the speakers. When powering up, turn on the SRM1801 last, but just before your full-range loudspeakers.
• Save the shipping boxes and packing materials! You may need them someday. Besides, your cat will love playing in them and jumping out at you unexpectedly. Remember to pretend like you are surprised!
• Save your sales receipt in a safe place.
• Record the serial number in the space provided on page 3, along with where and when you bought it.

Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Mackie SRM1801 subwoofer. Mackie’s SRM Series powered loudspeakers achieve the
perfect balance of power, portability, and sound quality. Designed by the same team that produced the best-selling
Mackie SRM450v2, the SRM1801 delivers real power in a design that is extremely lightweight and portable. The
SRM1801 incorporates Mackie-standard professional components like efficient Class-D Fast Recovery™ amplifiers
and system-optimizing Active electronics so that everything sounds great right out of the box.
The SRM1801 all-wood enclosure has a ported bass reflex design that produces tight low end. And the
lightweight, ultra-efficient Class-D Fast Recovery™ power amplifier delivers 1000W peak power with less risk of
thermal overload. This makes the sub extremely lightweight and portable without compromising the power and
performance that you deserve. Pair this power with our proven built-in Active electronics, including a precision
crossover and tuning filters, and you get professional low end that you can feel...custom tuned to be tight and
punchy.
Pair the SRM1801 with the best-selling SRM450v2 and you have a complete (and completely affordable) “plug
and play” system that is ideal for small clubs, DJs and rehearsal spaces. The SRM1801 has both full-range and
high-pass stereo outputs for connection to full-range top boxes. Just dial in the appropriate level and use the
polarity switch to make sure the sub is in phase with the loudspeakers. The integrated pole-cup can accommodate
a standard mounting pole, so your favorite speaker has a nice place to sit. Or you can just stack your full-range box
right on top of the sub...the SRM1801 ain’t picky.
So if you are looking for an extremely powerful, professional and great sounding PA setup that is simple to use
and easy on the wallet, then you’re in the right place.
Here are a few of the key features of your new Mackie SRM1801:
• 1000W of ultra-efficient Class-D Fast Recovery™ amplification
• Mackie Active electronics provide total system optimization
• Precision crossover (125Hz)
• Tuning filters for accurate bass response
• 18-inch woofer delivers superior output and low-frequency extension
• Dual XLR inputs for mono or stereo applications
• Stereo high-pass and full-range outputs
• User-adjustable level and polarity controls
• Individual power, signal, OL, and thermal protect indicators
• Pole receptacle for mounting full-range loudspeakers
• Solid plywood enclosure with high durability, textured black paint
• Extremely lightweight and portable (73 lbs / 33.1 kg)
Read on to learn everything you could possibly want to know about your new subwoofer.

The left and right line-level outputs from a mixer feed the inputs of the Mackie SRM1801 powered
subwoofer. The high pass line-level outputs of the subwoofer feed the inputs of the Mackie SRM450v2
powered loudspeakers, so these reproduce the mid-to-high frequencies in stereo, and the sub provides
the low frequencies in mono.

The rear panel is where you connect AC power
and your signals to and from the subwoofer. You may
also adjust the level and polarity to match the other
loudspeakers in your system and account for the
subwoofer’s location and your room’s environment.
1. IEC AC Receptacle
Connect the detachable line cord to this IEC socket
securely, and plug the other end into an AC outlet.
Make sure the AC power is matched to the AC power
indicated on the rear panel above the IEC socket.
2. POWER
Press up on this switch to turn the SRM1801
subwoofer on. The power LED [11] above the LEVEL
knob [7] illuminates when the POWER switch is on and
AC power is available at the linecord socket.
Press the bottom of this switch to put the subwoofer
into standby mode. It will not function, but the circuits
are still live. To remove AC power, either turn off the
AC mains supply, or unplug the power cord from the
subwoofer and the AC mains supply.
As a general guide, powered subwoofers should be turned on after the
mixer and other sources, but prior to fullrange speakers. Additionally, they should
also be powered off after the tops, but before the mixer
and other sources. This will reduce the possibility of any
turn-on, or turn-off thumps in your speakers.

Balanced XLR female connectors are provided for the
left and right inputs. Connect the full-range line-level
signal from the mixer or other signal source to these
input jacks.
Balanced XLR male connectors are provided for the
line-level A and B high-pass outputs. The subwoofer’s
internal active crossover splits the input signals into
two frequency bands. The low frequency range below
125 Hz goes to the internal amplifier that powers the
subwoofer. The frequency range above 125 Hz is sent to
these line-level output jacks.
If you are connecting a single subwoofer output, or
LFE (low-frequency effects) output to the subwoofer,
you may use either the A or B input connector.
CAUTION: NEVER connect the output of
an amplifier directly to the input of the
subwoofer. This could damage the input
circuitry of the active subwoofer.
4. FULL RANGE OUTPUTS
Balanced XLR male connectors are provided for the
line-level A and B full-range outputs. Connect these
outputs to the inputs of another powered subwoofer,
main powered loudspeakers, or to an amplifier powering
passive loudspeakers.
The signal at these outputs is a direct copy of the
input signals. These outputs allow you to daisy-chain
multiple subwoofers, and/or send the full-range signals
to the main loudspeakers.
The level control and polarity switch have no effect
on the full-range outputs. The outputs are separate and
maintain the stereo separation of the input signals.
Connect these outputs to the inputs of your main
powered loudspeakers, or to the inputs of the amplifier
powering the main loudspeakers. In this way, the main
loudspeakers will play the range above 125 Hz. If the
main loudspeakers have good low-frequency response,
then you may decide to use the full-range outputs [4]
instead.
The level control and polarity switch have no effect
on the high-pass outputs. The outputs are separate and
maintain the stereo separation of the input signals.
6. POLARITY
This switch reverses the polarity of the signal going
into the subwoofer amplifier by 180°. It has no effect on
the signal at the line-level outputs.
There is no right or wrong setting for this switch.
Listen to the overall blend of the subwoofer with the
rest of the system and select the switch position that
gives you the best sound for your audience. In fact,

9. OL LED
The LEVEL control adjusts the overall signal level at
the input to the built-in power amplifier. It ranges from
-6 dB to +6 dB (maximum gain), with unity gain at the
center position (12 o’clock).
The OL (overload) indicator lights when the
amplifier in the SRM1801 is near the clipping point. It
is okay if the OL indicator blinks occasionally, because
this means that the transient peaks are just reaching
the maximum output of the amplifier and you are
getting the most from your SRM1801.
The control has no effect on the level of the highpass outputs [5] or the full-range outputs [4].
8. THERMAL LED
The SRM1801 is equipped with a thermal protection
circuit that monitors the internal temperature of the
amplifiers and heatsink. If the temperature exceeds a
safe operating level, this indicator lights and the input
signal is muted to allow the amplifiers to cool. When
the temperature cools to a safe level once again, the
thermal protection circuit deactivates, the Thermal
LED turns off and the SRM1801 returns to normal
operation.
When the SRM1801 is in thermal protect mode, the
power LED [11] will remain lit, indicating that the unit
is still powered on despite the lack of output.
Activation of the thermal protection circuit
is an indication that you should take steps
to avoid continued thermal problems. See
“Thermal Protection” on page 12.
If the OL indicator is blinking frequently or lighting
continuously, turn down the LEVEL control [7] on the
SRM1801 or turn down the signal at it source (e.g., the mixing console) until the OL indicator blinks
occasionally or not at all.
10. SIGNAL LED
This LED illuminates green whenever there is a
signal present at the main input connector. It senses the
signal just after the Level control, so adjustments to the
level control will affect the signal indicator.
11. POWER LED
This LED illuminates when the power switch [2] is
turned on and the linecord is connected to an active AC
Mains supply.

The Ins and Outs of Polarity
Mackie’s SRM1801 subwoofer includes a switch that
allows you to quickly invert the polarity of the
subwoofer’s output relative to the input signal it is receiving from the mixer or other sound source. But
what exactly does that mean? A subwoofer works by literally pumping air as the woofer cone moves in and
out with respect to the cabinet in which it is housed. It
does so according to the low-frequency portion of the
signal it receives from the sound source.
The woofer cone is simply following the waveform
as seen in the sine wave in Figure 1. As the sine wave
rises, the woofer cone pushes out. Likewise, as the sine
wave falls, the woofer cone pulls into the cabinet. A
musical signal is much more complex, of course, but the
same principle applies. Movement of the woofer cone
causes air pressure changes that we perceive as sound.
When the Polarity Invert switch [6] is engaged, the
original waveform is simply reversed 180º (see Figure
2). Again, the subwoofer cone follows the waveform.
However, this time the woofer cone starts by pulling into
the cabinet followed by the woofer cone pushing out. If
you have ever experimented with a subwoofer polarity
switch, you may not have noticed any changes to the
sound regardless of its position, especially if you are
listening to just the subwoofer. This is normal, as our
ears perceive them both as the same.
The polarity invert switch comes into play when the
SRM1801 subwoofer is paired with a loudspeaker. Ideally, the woofer cones of the subwoofer and
full-range loudspeaker would work together by pushing and pulling in unison. SRM1801 subwoofers are
designed to be used in a broad range of applications,
and with a wide variety of full-range loudspeakers. The
flexibility provided by the polarity switch is necessary
to ensure that you are receiving the best possible sound
from your system, regardless of your setup.
Listed below are some recommended configurations
for pairing a Mackie SRM1801 subwoofer (using the
High-Pass output) with a Mackie full-range loudspeaker. These settings are a good start, but be sure
to experiment to find the best sound for your venue. The
loudspeakers may be stacked, pole-mounted, or flown.
• SRM450v2 full-range loudspeakers - Disengage the Polarity Invert switch on the SRM1801.
• TH-15A full-range loudspeakers - Engage the Polarity Invert switch on the SRM1801.
In alternate setups where the full-range loudspeakers
are not co-located with the subwoofers or are not connected to the SRM1801 subwoofer’s High-Pass
outputs, you will need to experiment with the Polarity
Invert switch to determine which setting gives you the
desired bass response for your application.

Protection Circuits
Placement
There are several protection mechanisms designed
into the SRM1801 to safeguard the subwoofers and
amplifiers from inadvertent damage.
The SRM1801 subwoofer is designed to sit on the
floor or stage. It is not designed to be pole-mounted or
suspended.
CAUTION: The protection circuits are
designed to protect the subwoofers under
reasonable and sensible conditions. Should
you choose to ignore the warning signs
(i.e., frequent OL LED indications, excessive distortion),
you can still damage the speakers in the SRM1801 by
overdriving them past the point of amplifier clipping. Such
damage is beyond the scope of the warranty.
When pole-mounting loudspeakers, be sure that the
SRM1801 subwoofers are stabilized and secured from falling over or being accidentally pushed over. For
stacked scenarios, it is highly suggested that straps are
utilized. Failure to follow these precautions may result
in damage to the equipment, personal injury, or death.
Limiting
WARNING: The cabinet has no rigging
points and is not suitable for rigging.
NEVER attempt to suspend the SRM1801
by its handles.
The driver has its own compression circuit, which
helps protect it from damaging transient peaks. The
compressor is designed to be transparent and is not
noticeable under normal operating conditions.
As with any powered components, protect them from
moisture and extreme cold and follow the other Care
and Maintenance suggestions below.
Overexcursion Protection
Care and Maintenance
A 24 dB/octave high-pass filter at 40 Hz just prior
to the low-frequency amplifier prevents very low
frequencies from being amplified. Excessive lowfrequency energy below 40 Hz can damage the woofer by
causing it to “bottom out,” also known as overexcursion,
which is equivalent to a mechanical form of clipping.
Thermal Protection
All amplifiers produce heat. The SRM1801 is
designed to be efficient both electrically and thermally.
The amplifier module is mounted on a large
heatsink, which is cooled by convection where cool air
is drawn over the rear panel, carrying the heat away.
In order for this convection cooling to work efficiently,
it is important to provide adequate airspace behind
the subwoofer. When you position the SRM1801, we
recommend leaving at least six inches of air space
behind it.
If for some reason the internal temperature gets too
hot, a built-in thermal switch activates and turns down
the amplifier. When the amplifier cools down to a safe temperature, the thermal switch resets and normal
operation resumes. If the internal temperature again
gets too hot, the output level reduction process repeats.
Should this happen, make sure that airflow to the rear
of the cabinet is not restricted.

Your Mackie subwoofers will provide many years of
reliable service if you follow these guidelines:
• Avoid exposing the subwoofers to moisture. If
they are set up outdoors, be sure they are under
cover if rain is expected.
• Avoid exposure to extreme cold (below freezing temperatures). If you must operate
the subwoofers in a cold environment, warm
up the voice coils slowly by sending a low-level
signal through them for about 15 minutes prior
to high-power operation.
• Use a dry cloth to clean the cabinets. Only do
this when the power is turned off. Avoid getting
moisture into any of the openings of the cabinet, particularly where the driver is located.
Appendix A: Service Information
If you think your Mackie product has a problem,
please check out the following troubleshooting tips and
do your best to confirm the problem. Visit the Support
section of our website (www.mackie.com/support) to
get some ideas or contact our technical support heroes.
You may find the answer to the problem without having
to send your Mackie product away.
Troubleshooting
No Power
• Our favorite question: Is it plugged in?
• Make sure the line cord is securely seated in the line cord socket and plugged all the way into the AC outlet.
• Make sure the AC outlet is live (check with a tester or lamp).
• Is the POWER switch in the ON position?
Bad Sound
• Is the input connector plugged completely into the input jack?
•
Is something connected to an output jack? Try unplugging it. If the sound improves, whatever was plugged into the output jack may have affected the signal.
• Is it loud and distorted? Reduce the signal level at the mixer.
• Is the power LED on the rear panel illuminated? If not, make sure the AC outlet is live. If so, refer to “No Sound” below.
• If possible, listen to the signal source with headphones plugged into the preamp stage. If it sounds bad there, it’s not the subwoofer.
• If the power LEDs are not illuminated, and you are certain that the AC outlet is live, it is possible the fuse has blown.
• Too much bass or not enough bass? Move around the room and see if the bass response changes. It’s possible your listening position coincides with a room mode where the low frequencies either become exaggerated or nulled. If so, try using an alternate polarity switch position, moving the subwoofers to a different location in the room, or moving your listening position.
No Sound
• Is the power LED on the rear panel illuminated?
• Is the LEVEL control turned up?
•
Is the signal source turned up? Make sure the signal level from the mixing console (or whatever device immediately precedes the subwoofer) is high enough to produce sound.
•
If it’s a stereo pair, try switching them around. For example, if a left subwoofer is presumed dead, switch the left and right cords at the subwoofers. If the problem switches sides, it’s not the SRM1801. It could be a bad cable, or no signal from the mixer.
13
Noise/Hum
•
Check the signal cable between the mixer and the subwoofer. Make sure all connections are secure. These problems usually produce crackling noises or hum.
•
If you are using two or more SRM1801 powered subwoofers, try plugging them all into the same AC outlet panel or outlet strip. The purpose for this is to connect them all to the same earth ground point and reduce the possibility of creating a ground loop.
• If connecting an unbalanced output to the SRM1801 balanced input, make sure the shield is connected to the unbalanced ground and to pin 1 of the XLR.

Appendix B:
Connections
XLR Connectors
The SRM1801 has two female XLR input jacks that
accept balanced line-level signals. When connecting
a balanced signal, be sure it’s wired per AES (Audio Engineering Society) standards:
Balanced XLR Connectors
There is a limit to how many you can daisy-chain together. A general rule is
to maintain a load impedance ten times
or more than the source impedance to
prevent excessive loading on the source. For example, if
your mixer has an output impedance of 120 ohms, then
you can daisy chain up to nine SRM1801’s. This is a load
of 1222 ohms (SRM1801 input impedance=11 kohms;
9 of these in parallel=1222 ohms). Since microphones
typically have a higher output impedance, you should
limit daisy-chaining from a mic source to two SRM1801’s
(assuming that loudspeakers are also connected to the
subwoofers).
XLR
Pin 1 – Shield (Ground)
Pin 2 – Hot (+)
Pin 3 – Cold (–)
You should use high-quality, shielded cable to
connect the signal source to the INPUT jacks on the SRM1801.
• High quality microphone cables work well.
• Foil shielded cables are commonly used for audio wiring.
•
The better the shield, the better the immunity from externally induced noise (like EMI and RFI). Route the cable away from AC power cords and outlets. These are common sources for hum in an audio signal. You can purchase quality cables from your Mackie dealer.
There are also two male XLR connectors on the
SRM1801 labeled FULL RANGE and two labled HIGH
PASS. These are also wired according to the AES standards listed above.
The FULL RANGE connectors allow you to connect several SRM1801’s. Simply plug the signal source (e.g., mixer output) into the SRM1801 input jack, and
patch that subwoofer’s full range jack to the next subwoofer’s input jack, and so on, daisy-chaining multiple subwoofers.
