Sound Test Mackie Thump 15BST vs JBL EON615 - It's all about The App 15" Bluetooth Power Speakers

[@djandrewmichael]

I agree Rodwell Stewart. The JBL had a fuller, deeper sound.

[@teclairedikoume7266]

I like the way the JBL speaker sounds. Thank you for the nice video.

[@steem23]

Thanks for using different styles of music. I am looking for powered speakers for an acoustic duo, so hearing the acoustic tracks was really helpful. LIKED.

[@highdefprolightssounds9191]

JBL 615 is the best speaker i owned! very sweetsound.

[@CristianSecui]

Hello! Can anyone tell me if they heard JBL SRX 815 and MACKIE SRM 215 V-Class if there is a big difference in SPL? Thanks!

[@mmangan43]

From what I gather eon is way to go, use the 615’s in woofer mode and pair with a 618 for bass for the best all around sound.

[@Nodadj]

JBL eon 15..I also have 2 Traue sonic ALTOs TS215's and the JBL are way louder! Can you mae a review JBL eon 15 VS Alto TS215?? Thx

[@concretejungle6938]

Just ordered 2 Macks yesterday...Yes Sir!!!

[@jamielovell4253]

There may be very minor sound differences but you should be happy if you've purchased either speakers.

[@jamielovell4253]

I bought the JBL eon615s and couldn't be happier.

[@robertw1871]

It’s not a subtle difference the JBL has far more clarity especially in the midrange… depends on what your using them for, if your reinforcement acoustic instruments it could matter a whole lot… neither was EQd though so it’s hard to tell…

[@chunkychev]

The JBL is more detailed but lighter on the bottom end, the thump is a bit muddy, but has a deeper bass , I've used thumps (older versions) but was not impressed by them , but to me it's all a bit irrelevant passive speakers have all the money spent on the speaker and cabinet and sound better and can handle more power !

[@flog4851]

Would really appreciate the playlist you used in the tests. I want to test my own active speakers.

[@walasfilms]

So do they sound the same? Or would you say one sounds cleaner or louder? More bass? No difference on the sound?

[@rucasm]

Super happy with the mackie thump15a! True. They sound amazing and they gonna hipnotize you...

[@sharkeymcewen6092]

I like these test videos a lot. But, like a lot of people have mentioned, it's really odd that the sticker was left on the Mackie, covering up the high frequency horn... which clearly muffles the high end sound of the Mackie?

[@JGilly-cp1tk]

Exactly pal i own a pair they are pro speakers

[@JGilly-cp1tk]

Also i dont think the settings were adjusted equally for each

[@gsonn18]

The highs actually sounded better on the Mackie - IMO. E en with the sticker but the toy sounding bass on the Mackie, compared to the rich sound of the JBL. I'm planning on buying JBL's.

[@chrissimonm1446]

Hi I have a pair of Mackie 15A 1000 watt older model and have a chance to get the newer Mackie 15 1300 due you think it's worth the upgrade? Thanks

[@jarrodleerocks]

Thanks for the comparison. Depending on the track the each sound superior to the other. I’m not concerned with bells and whistles or ease of use just the sound quality for a band. Which would say projects the better sound?

[@expertisland]

For a Band JBL - For a DJ Mackie

[@jarrodleerocks]

Thanks. I’ve been on the fence with both of these and if JBL is better for a band then that is what I will go with

[@philippeaboussouan2361]

[@miguelespejooranday325]

Can these speakers still be adjusted manually if he Bluetooth goes out?

[@Davey_01]

My only problem with the Mackie is its superb with Rock, Pop and Hip Hop and R&B using my phone to stream over Bluetooth but when I played an Trance or EDM track it can’t handle it. I had to keep goin into the app and adjusting the bass which can be very annoying.. does it have a built in DSP to dial back the bass automatically

[@philippeaboussouan2361]

It’s made to be used with the 18in base speaker 🤪✌🏻

[@nelsonromanbillini]

[@markm4120]

I'm not all that familiar with audio terms and such but the Mackie sounds like mono compared to the JBL's stereo sound. It's almost like the JBL is playing outdoors and the Mackie is in a closet.

[@philippeaboussouan2361]

Mackie has more of a flat sound where the JBL has more bass ans more color to the sound For a pro audio expert that can mix sound a flatter speaker would be better

[@bengordon6053]

I need step by step instructions to pair 12BST &b15 bst. Just use for streaming

[@bekkerthesokuangeldragon68]

Does the JBL have the built in bluetooth aswell? And can i use an audio mixer to help output more bass and less mid and treble? I can set the app settings and leave that and then use my seperate audio mixer

[@expertisland]

The Bluetooth on the JBL is just for the app not to stream Music.

[@bekkerthesokuangeldragon68]

@@expertisland Ok.

[@philippeaboussouan2361]

Both speakers need a subwoofer to get the most bass out of the setup They sure can play bass but not that deep like a real subwoofer speaker 🤪👍🏻

the reason why the Mackie sound more bass is because it's on the closes corner of the side wall. The JBL has no wall on the it's side that makes it not equal when it comes to bass.
