Entertain a crowd anywhere with the Mackie ShowBox, a battery-powered, all-in-one performance rig that combines an amplifier, portable 2-way PA speaker, FX processor, and audio interface with a breakaway controller that mounts to your mic stand. The ShowBox was made for solo performers or small bands, replacing instrument amps and PA speakers and adding effects you can tweak from your mic stand with the breakaway controller. It includes inputs for mics, guitars, keyboards, and more. The 400W amplifier drives the 8" woofer and 1" high-frequency driver which combine for a 48 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and a 122 dB SPL.

The ShowBox breakaway mix controller gives you real-time control of your sound, including levels, effects and tone shaping, snapshots, built-in looper, tuner, and SD recording. The controller mounts to your stand with included hardware, and slides into the speaker for storage. Take your performance online with a USB-C interface for streaming and recording, while playing over backing tracks via Bluetooth. The internal battery provides up to 12 hours of use.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does it support high sync?

A: No, the Broncolor Siros L 400Ws Battery-Powered Monolight does not support high speed sync.

Q: 2. Is the modeling lamp proportional to the flash power? I mean is it possible to adjust it and make it proportional?

A: The Siros L LED modeling lamp is a fixed power output and cannot be dimmed to be proportional with its flash power setting.

Q: 3. Is there a delay with a USB-C connected cam camera vs an HDMI with an XLR connected mic?

A: The camera inputs for video capture on a streaming device for both video and audio, like the Mackie MainStream Live Streaming and Video Capture Interface are HDMI, not USB-C. As another option for a similar device with an XLR mic input, you may like the RODE X Streamer X Audio Interface and Video Streaming Console.

Page 20 in the manual for the Mackie DL32S shows the dimensions both with, and without these components. https://mackie.com/img/file_resources/DL16S_DL32S_OM.pdf

A: The manufacture does not list how long the Mackie Battery-Powered Ring Light Kit with Convertible Selfie Stick (6") lasts on a full battery at full brightness,.

Q: 8. What is the weather resistance of this product? IPX4 ? IPX7?

A: I'm very sorry, this is not specified by the manufacturer.

Q: 9. What is the height of this product?

A: The ringlight is 6". The selfie stick is not specified.

Q: 10. Trying to figure out how output #1 through #8 are different than the L & R output?

A: They actually function the same as the rest. Main L/R is routed there by default and the silkscreen is just to help users that keep it set to that remember where to plug in.

[1x microSD] Using for my 8mm film / 35mm slide micro-cinema...
My sound support...
Simple set-up with an iPhone...has 2 channel RCA inputs w/gain controls.
Patch directly to the 'Thump Go' speaker...
Can add an additional 'Mackie' power speaker...has a XLR output.
Hope my thoughts are helpful.

[Bass-Reflex] I'm very happy with these monitors. They seem well built and have good clarity. I use them for video production some am mostly mixing dialogue or dialogue over music.

[Bluetooth] For video you'd be hard pressed to have better sound for two or more times the price. I only sit arm's length away from them, so they're quite punchy without being overwhelming. Great stereo field. Quite revealing too.

[48 Hz to 20 kHz] I love this mixer. Works great on battery that can sit inside the mixer. Sounds great! Can not go wrong with this product and the price is right.

[48 Hz to 20 kHz] I have used one pair of these speakers and they work fine. I like the way they sound. Very clear and professional.

[75 W] My staff and I compared this model to similar portable units by other manufacturers and found this to be the best bang for the buck when comparing price along with features. We use several of these for our live sound business in Akron, Ohio. They have outstanding battery life, connect well for bluetooth, plus the onboard mixer allows for excellent control. I do suggest buying the carrying bag for the speaker, which is also an excellent product.

[12 Hours] This thing is pretty awesome!!! I did not realize all the features it has for
quick live music sets, like out on the street, when I ordered it.

[122 dB] I purchased a pair for mixing. These are very clear and precise. I look forward to using these more, as I have only had them a couple of weeks.

[1x microSD] I love these for their honest clarity. I upgraded from a lesser set of these monitors and like these even more. I just wish they had threaded screw mounts to wall mount them. And I do wish the power switch was on the front. But they do sound great and these are a great option for pure clean sound!
