New Powered Speakers from EV and Mackie

When QSC released their K Series line a few years ago, they revolutionized the way people thought about powered portable speakers. No longer was it necessary to build a 4', 80 lbs cabinet to get the performance that you wanted. Now it was possible to pack 1000W into a box not much bigger than a studio monitor. Well everyone knew that it wouldn't take long for other manufacturers to follow suit if they wanted to stay competitive in the portable speaker market.

At the winter NAMM show in Anaheim, CA this past January, Electro-Voice (EV) released their new line of speakers; the LIVE X series which includes both passive and powered boxes. The powered line consists of a 12" ELX112P and a 15" ELX115P speaker, both with 1000W Class D amplifier and an 18" subwoofer with a 700W Class D amplifier that is optimized for performance with both the ELX112P and ELX115P.

These speakers start at just $599 for the ELX112P and the 15" EPX115P is just $699. The 700W subwoofer sells for only $799 which provides customers with an incredibly affordable option when looking into a fully powered, portable sound system. These models will be shipping very shortly so get your order in today! But it doesn't end there.


Mackie introduced their powered High Definition (HD) line back in 2010. They had tremendous success with their SRM series of powered speakers but needed to update their line with more power and function. The result was the HD series that packs a whopping 1200-1800W into their cabinets ranging from 12"-15" speakers and 15"-18" subwoofers. You have to see and hear these things to actually believe it!

The HD1221 and the HD1501 are 12" and 15" respectively and both offer 1200W of power. The 1221 is a full range, 2-way loudspeaker and the 1501 is a compatible 15" subwoofer. They start at $799 for the HD1221 and the sub goes for a mere $849.
Moving up the line to the HD1521 sees an increase in power rating with this baby packing 1600W. The neodymium woofers and compression drives with heat-treated titanium diaphragms are consistent with this line of speakers and deliver unsurpassed clarity, quality and power previously unseen in such a small cabinet.

The HD1531 steps up to a 3-way, 1800W speaker that sells for $1200. The 1521 goes for just $999. They also have an HD1801 18", 1600W subwoofer and an HDA 12 high powered line array to complete the series that sell for $999 and $1699 respectively. Never before has power and portability been so affordable!
