## Description

So, you need the sound of a powerful, professional loudspeaker with the portability of a boom box? Meet Thump GO; the take-it-anywhere, Bluetooth® equipped, ultra-flexible, battery-powered loudspeaker. Built to make your life a whole lot easier, Thump GO offers lightning-fast setup and simple-yet-powerful sound processing, plus flexible inputs, Bluetooth® streaming, and wireless control via the Thump Connect 2 app. Most importantly, Thump GO will amplify the real you with clear, punchy, and accurate sound wherever you call your stage. Take the performance of the renowned Thump Series anywhere, with the Thump GO Portable Battery-Powered Loudspeaker. Incredible Sound, Unplugged Thump Series Loudspeakers have been at the center of many live sound setups for over a decade, but what if you don’t have that precious AC power to make it all happen? Thump GO brings the Thump punch and clarity in an ultra-portable design with a removable battery pack so you can sound your best anywhere. Push a Button, Sound Great Under the hood of Thump GO is some powerful processing that you can tap into to up your sound quality game. With 4 different Application Specific Voicing Modes, you can instantly optimize Thump GO for how you use it from a single button. Are You In or Out? Ever bring your speakers from inside a room to the scary outdoors and wonder why it sounds so different? You’re not alone, and lucky for you we’ve thought of everything. When you tote this little powerhouse out into the wild, just push the Outdoor Mode button and your lovely, full sound is restored. Quack Quack Shhh You’ve got music playing nice and loud but, it’s time for another announcement. Sure, you could mess with your levels every time, but who’s got time for that. Simply press the Music Ducking button, and channel 2 will automatically turn down whenever you speak into the mic on channel 1. Keep Everyone’s Ears Safe from Feedback Ever get a little too up close and personal with the microphone only to hear a loud, ear-destroying squeal? That’s commonly known as feedback. And it’s an unfortunate issue that physics won’t change its mind on. But wait! Hit the Feedback Eliminator button and laugh in the face of those silly acoustic laws. Pick a Playlist, Adjust Settings, Take a Selfie What better to control your Thump GO than the device you already carry with you everywhere? Easily stream music directly to the speaker and enjoy the wireless freedom to dance around while playing DJ. And while you’re at it you can dive into the Thump GO Connect App and adjust anything from EQ and Voicing Modes to channel levels and venue-specific presets. Thump GO Loves Friends Need a bit more coverage? Trying to peel the paint off the walls? Grab a second Thump GO and have a seriously good, go anywhere sound system. You can even link them together via Bluetooth to stream music to both in either Stereo or Dual Zone mode plus control both via the Thump GO app. Size isn’t Everything Thump GO may be small, but this little loudspeaker has got the goods where it counts. An ultra-efficient Class-D amplifier squeezes every last bit of beautiful sound from every watt. And to get the air moving, the custom high-output 8” woofer and 1” compression driver deliver the thump and clear highs. Put It Where You Need It Thump GO is designed with a sturdy, molded cabinet and tough feet for excellent performance no matter where you set it. Need a floor monitor? Thump GO can be tilted back on its side and naturally sits at the perfect angle. And if you want to optimize you room coverage, Thump GO has a standard size pole mount built in for mounting on a subwoofer or speaker stand. No matter how you use your Thump GO, it’s easy to move it with an ergonomic handle built in to the top.

Review: A must for bad backs and small rooms! - 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!
Review: Light and Loud, Good Battery Life, Great Support - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it work with a stereo bt transmitter attached to a mixer audio out (to two thump gos)?**
A: ThumpGO supports true stereo through Bluetooth. You can link them together and control them wirelessly from your phone with the Thump Connect 2 app.

**Q: My guitar sounds great on these speaker but when I plug my sure mic it sounds really low. Is necesary an interface for mic to sound at guitar level?**
A: You will need to plug your microphone into channel one and have the button pressed, so it is set to receive MIC level. Then crank the gain up to get good volume.

**Q: Airlines limit the watt-hours (Wh) to 100-160Wh.   How many watt-hours does the battery in this unit have?**
A: for some strange reason, mackie won't share specifications of this battery on paper or on the phone. The battery is small/lighter than the Bose S1 Pro battery which are allowed on the planes so there should be no problem. Also, I carried the spec sheet for the bose battery and no one ever asked for the documents or even inspected the battery size

**Q: A bluetooth-capable microphone could be directly paired with this speaker?**
A: No

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an amazing speaker!
*by A***R on June 27, 2022*

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.
