Thump Series, Thump GO 8-Inch Portable Battery-Powered Loudspeaker

I'm on the wrong side of 50 with a balky lower back. I was really looking for something lighter than my 30.3lb QSC CP12s to be hoisting on poles and lugging at the and of the night. I play smooth jazz sax over backing tracks at cocktail hours and retirement facilities. I was never blasting the doors off with DJ volume. A pair of these has been absolutely perfect! Great, rich sound for the size and 40+% lower weight. Ample volume for the needs of most acts like mine, I would think. The battery power is probably not something I'll use much, but for those graveside memorial gigs or wedding proposals in a remote gazebo, it will be crucial. I may sell my Roland BA330 and use these instead. Bluetooth backing tracks from my iPad into one speaker, then linked cordless into the other. Just perfect. It's annoying that bluetooth connectivity BETWEEN linked speakers is limited to bluetooth inputs, but If I actually need to mic my sax, I'd be using my QSC's anyway. These have been my go-to's for months now. The only knock on them is that sometimes it takes the Bluetooth a bit to connect. Bravo Mackie!

I bought this for my one-man show - I play mostly blues with guitar and backing tracks. The bluetooth streaming from my iPad and Vocal microphone channel works very well (still had another channel free). It's pretty light and the battery seems to last forever. I had some questions for Mackie, and found them easy to get a hold of and very helpful! I really think Mackie is a great all around choice with pricing fair compared to the competition. But I really liked their support. I bought another Mackie speaker (open box) that had a bad cable, and they sent me a new one quickly and at no charge. I can wholeheartedly recommend this speaker and Mackie as a company that provides real help to customers.

WOW. I am only using this speaker for Bluetooth capabilies with playing music from Spotify. I am no a DJ or using it to play instruments/singing so my review is based on this. I have had the Ion speakers with all the fancy lights, wheels to roll the speaker, and wireless charging capability..... But in the end I wanted a speaker that put out serious sound. I finally have found that speaker in the Mackie Thump go! This thing truly has the full package when it comes to sound quality. I have this thing cranked up to the highest it can go and people cannot believe the sound is coming from a Bluetooth/wireless speaker. Absolute zero distortion and I'm listening to music with lots of bass. When you finally make the jump and actually buy this product for what your actually buying it for (music) I recommend downloading their app as well because you can tinker with the sound even more. You will not be disappointed with spending the extra money for this amazing device. Last thing, did I mention that you can remove the battery and put a fully charged battery in (separate purchase needed) when you have no access to power.... Come on, most all these other speakers do not have that option and that alone was huge for me. Not that I have had to do that because this battery has lasted 8+ hours on 3/4 volume (which is loud).... Buy this thing today! You won't regret it.

I'm a mobile Dj and use either a monitor or small set of speakers from time to time depending on the gig. In the past I've used the Yorkville Coliseum series 8in speaker and they have been amazing, but they are getting a little old and also on the heavy side for its size. So I decided to look around for a replacement and have been eyeing the Mackie Go 8 for a while. I saw recently they had a price drop so decided to snag one up. I have to say I'm super impressed to say the least. I just did a large gig for a local casino on NYE and thus little speaker rocked the house for my monitor. Crisp and clear highs and decent lows for its size. Battery power last me several hours so that's a huge plus. Being battery powered also allowed me to place the speaker pretty much anywhere on the table with only one 1/4 cord running to it for a booth out. Amazing sound out of this little design and will be definitely buying me another to link up with it. It's versatile so I'll be using it for small gigs such as a wedding ceremony outside or a small backyard party. Etc... Now just being super picky here (cuz I'm a little anal when it comes to sound and design) My only reason for not offering 5 stars is there is a option to run the Mackie thump app. The app (although offers a few additional options) is very limited. There is a EQ but only for highs and lows.. no mids. Which this is a little confusing why they didn't include this. Also no option to adjust the EQ manually either which was a small downer. Plus side is the speaker offers some advantages with inputs, feedback eliminater, ducking and Bluetooth. Plus the major thing for me was this dang thing sounds really good out the box and you can push plenty of power through it. Due to those reasons, it's a keeper. With the price drop at around $320 it's a no brainer. For the money you can't go wrong with this Mackie.

Buen parlante por el precio

Excelente, llegó puntual, el equipo brinda un muy buen sonido yo lo utilizo para cantar y tocar piano en salones cerrados con más de 60 personal, gracias Amazon.

Muy buen producto lo recomiendo.

Great product. I use this PA in many ways. It's chained in to a mixer at home for daily use and I just break it off when I need to perform in a busking atmosphere or simply bring the party. Sounds great indoors and out. I haven't run out of battery in a single session yet. Tip- when using at lower levels, I like to run a line out to a smaller speaker to catch higher frequencies. Like a mini tower system but using the 8" as a suedo-sub.

Good for setting up all night parties anywhere on planet earth. The base is good and punchy although I still feel that it needs some break in time. High end is just perfect. The app is good too, but I prefer controlling eq using a 3.5mm aux input. Built quality is pretty sturdy. All in all, it's exactly what I need. I just need to see how it fares in the long run.

El producto venía defectuoso, la batería si no estaba conectado a la red no funcionaba y luego la devolución me costó mucho, porque era a otro país, y la tenía que hacer por mi cuenta, pagando una agencia, Amazon se despreocupo de todo.

Really good I got them for a friend community centre. Loud punchy and Bluetooth. Not for Glastonbury but a big hall GREAT!

Excellent value for money. Good thump. Better than Soundboks Go

Most of the Mickie stuff is Very Decent. For the price point of this speaker I was hoping for a much better sound
