convenient features like built-in mixers, speaker modes and much more. Totally new for
the Thump Series are two Thump Boosted models, the 12” Thump12BST and 15” Thump15BST.
“Redesigned from the ground up, the new Thump Series speakers are our most flexible and
powerful Thumps ever,” remarked John Boudreau, Mackie VP of Product Management. “With a
choice of four full-range models, plus a companion subwoofer, it has never been easier to
choose a Thump system that fits your needs and budget perfectly.”
The Thump Series is equipped with custom-designed, high-output woofers and 1.4” titanium dome
compression drivers plus an all-new ultra-efficient amplifier design with Dynamic Bass Response
technology and next-generation system protection. So when you need maximum performance and
chest-pounding bass, Thump loudspeakers will always have the power on tap that you need.
The 1300W Thump12A and Thump15A feature a built-in 2-channel mixer equipped with Vita preamps
and Wide-Z technology that can easily handle mics, instruments and line level signals without
any additional equipment or adjustments. Plus, with four application-specific speaker modes,
you can optimize the system for your needs at the push of a button.
Thump Boosted Advanced Powered Loudspeakers reportedly take Thump to a whole new level of
versatility and control with the Thump12BST and Thump15BST models with advanced DSP, wireless
control, linking, and streaming. They include a built-in 3-channel digital mixer that features
two digitally controlled Vita+ preamps with Wide-Z technology, 3-band EQ per channel with
variable high-pass filters on Vita+ inputs, and six speaker modes. For convenient control and
