High-Performance Audio Without the High Price Tag.

Designed by the same team that produced Mackie's best-selling compact active loudspeakers, the THUMP TH-15A Active Loudspeaker provides amazingly accurate response from 20kHz all the way down to 40Hz, giving it just the right amount of punch. All-new Class D circuitry drives its custom, high-precision 15-inch woofer to greater volumes with less heat than is possible with competing designs. Onboard electronics include full system protection packed into a durable polypropylene enclosure, making TH-15A the most lightweight powerhouse in its class.

Exceptional Sonic Performance

TH-15A Active loudspeakers put out a tremendous amount of sound for their size and price tag. The two-way bass reflex (ported) design generates ample quantities of chest-pounding bass, and its 1" compression driver ensures smooth, wide dispersion. We even inserted a 3-band equalizer at the input to give you all the tonal control you could ever want, with an available 15dB boost or cut at 80Hz (for the Lows), 100Hz to 8kHz (sweepable Mids) and 12kHz (for the Highs). With the TH-15A's extremely versatile EQ, you can add some extra thump to that kick drum, bring out the sizzle in your hi-hats and add pop to vocals.

More Than Just a Powered Speaker Cabinet

Sure, the TH-15A has a built-in power amp—it has two of them, 150-Watts for the 15" woofer and 50-Watts for the HF horn. New Class D circuitry drives the woofer more efficiently with less heat byproduct than the competition's speakers. But so much more goes into an Active loudspeaker design than just amplifiers. The Active crossover divides the frequencies, time aligns the signals for proper reproduction and sends them to the appropriate drivers; active compression provides protection for the drivers, and thermal circuitry protects the amplifiers. All the onboard electronic systems work together dynamically to produce superior quality sound previously unavailable in this price range.

Portability Meets Versatility

Not only is the TH-15A a superb PA enclosure, it also makes a superior monitor wedge—just lay the asymmetrical cabinet on its side and turn it up. Its compact, lightweight design means zero strain, whether mounting it on a high pole or loading up the van. The TH-15A's wide frequency response makes it ideal as a keyboard, vocal or even bass guitar monitor. The TAPCO TH-15A has incredibly smooth, spike-free response and dispersion over a wide range of treble frequencies, so you can crank it without the fear of ear-splitting high-end feedback.

Protecting Your Investment

Because we know you probably push your loudspeakers really hard for long periods of time, we added some extra circuitry to keep your TH-15As performing at their best. You can run them to clipping without fear of thermal damage. We know things can get pretty hot in the real world, so if the electronics do overheat, separate thermal switches activate and shut down the high and/or low frequency amplifiers until they cool down. Each driver has its own transparent compression circuit, which helps protect them from damaging transient peaks.

An Over-excursion filter, inserted just before the low frequency amplifier, protects the woofer from bottoming-out when the low-end is driven to the maximum. These extra protections ensure long life and loudspeakers you can count on.

Features:

  • 2-way, bi-amplified, optimized active loudspeaker system
  • Ported, bass reflex design for enhanced bass performance 
  • Frequency Response (40Hz -20kHz) 
  • 24dB/octave crossover at 3kHz 
  • 15" high-precision LF driver 
  • Low-frequency over-excursion protection 
  • 1" compression driver 
  • 180W LF amp / 60W HF amp 
  • XLR Mic/Line input and pass thru 
  • 3-Band EQ with Sweepable Mid for clarity (with bypass) 
  • High SPL Output/Low Distortion 
  • Ideal for pole-mounting or stage monitor position 
  • Tough, impact-resistant polypropylene enclosure 
  • High-density adiabatic fiberfill absorbs internal reflections 
  • Convenient integrated handles in both sides and top 
  • Lightest, most portable Active Loudspeaker in its class (36 lbs!) 
  • Designed by award-winning Mackie Active team

Firstly, can I thank dolphin music who persisted in recommending these against Behringer actives that were more expensive! I am blownaway by both the build quality and performance from these boxes. I am part of a small cabaret band, and thesen fit the bill for us. They are lightweight, but still solid and robust. The clarity from these is fantastic. We originally bought these to accompany our Mk1 Mackie SRM 450's for larger gigs, however we quite often just take these now as they are lighter, and I think they have a better vocal presence!

Thanks Tapco & Mackie - These are worth every penny!

Great for V-Drums

Bought a TH-15A for use with a new Roland V-Drums kit (TD-9KX).

I was looking for an active speaker that could be used for low-level monitoring as well as for sound-reinforcement on stage. Ok, let\'s throw the occasional neighbour-hated houseparty in there too.

The Thump does exactly what it says on the tin. It\'s 15\" driver reproduces the kick with style. There\'s no real need for a sub here. The midrange is nice and clear and the treble carries well whilst still being nicely defined.

EQ on the back (high, sweepable mid and low) is useful, but not really necessary as the speaker response is already nice and flat and I adjust most EQ settings in the drum module.

The housing is nice and sturdy, whilst the whole unit is very light for a speaker of this type (around 17kg). I believe the digital amplifier helps in this department. However, I also believe the amp is responsible for the one slight drawback to this speaker - when listening at what are relatively very low levels, there is a slight \'fizzle\' at the end of any input when transitioning to silence. This does not exist at any higher volumes. I think it may be to do with impedance - I will connect a mixer and report back.

In short, if you\'re looking for a high quality item (Mackie engineers, no less) that can play loud whilst not making people\'s ears bleed, this is the way to go.

Sound tested against: Shure SE320 direct from kit, Roland/B&W hifi, Mackie PA

We bought four of these as stage monitors - they are excellent.

Over the years I\'ve used several flavours of Peavey monitors, Carlsbro Alphas and JBLs, I have say that these are the best by some margin.

Physically, they\'re quite compact and built in a wedge-shape (although they can also be mounted on poles) so they are happy either in a line at the front of the stage or \'aimed\'. I was worried that the horn would be too wide for a monitor, giving too much spillage and causing feedback, but it doesn\'t seem to happen (we\'re using SM58s and D5s - more or less cardioid mics).

The sound is clear with a very faithful response through the frequency range - and they have plenty of power too. (The disadvantage here, of course, is that now I know how rough my voice sounds.)

The only minor quibble I have - and I have to bear in mind that they aren\'t primarily sold as stage monitors - is that we could do with the gain and eq controls on the front to save rummaging.

All in all an excellent product. They seem very robust too - but there, time will tell.
