Meet Thump GO; the take-it-anywhere, Bluetooth® equipped, ultra-flexible, battery-powered loudspeaker.

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.

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?

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.

Impressed
Size: 8-inch Style: Battery Powered Pattern: Loudspeaker
Small speaker that packs a punch. It won't rattle the foundations of any venue but it has great full sound for ceremonies outdoors. I tested this for a ceremony of 300 people and everyone was able to hear the officiant. I might have been pushing the limits of what this speaker can do but I was very impressed on how it performed. Music will sound clean, not lacking on the lows but like I said don't expect it to have the low end of a subwoofer, it is an 8ich speaker and for the price and size it won't disappoint. ... show more

A must for bad backs and small rooms!
Size: 8-inch Style: Battery Powered Pattern: 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! ... show more

Light and Loud, Good Battery Life, Great Support
Size: 8-inch Style: Battery Powered Pattern: Loudspeaker
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. ... show more

Great for the price with a couple odd shortcomings
Size: 8-inch Style: Battery Powered Pattern: Loudspeaker
I purchased this primarily for use as a singer/songwriter who routes his guitar and vocals through a Boss VE-8 into the speaker via XLR cable. There are things I love about this product, and a few things I don't and I cannot say I am 100% sure if I am going to keep it as of writing this review but I will go over my thoughts so far. First, let's go over the things I like: - It is built really well and is easy to move and transport. Dare I say it is the perfect size and weight for a speaker you want to just take out to the park or street and play with without the need for a power source. It has a convenient carrying handle and I have no concerns at all about plunking it down on any surface and using it. - It sounds quite good for the price. I am reasonably happy with the volume and sound quality, though in the next section I will go over a couple of concerns there as well. - It is extremely easy to set up and use, and all of the controls on the back are obvious and clear as to their purpose. Now for a few things I do not love or I think they could improve on: - There is no way to simply have a flat EQ curve. You are forced into utilizing one of their 4 "voicing modes", none of which offer a FRFR setting or a proper dedicated "Live" mode. If you look at their other products, you will see that they typically have a separate mode for "Live" performing, but on this one they lumped it into the "Music" voicing mode and I don't think that makes any sense. The EQ curve for live performing I am not sure should be the same as what a DJ would use, but maybe I'm wrong? But again, if you look at their other products they have separate Music and Live modes typically so I believe their own products tell us that this speaker is missing an important feature given that one of the biggest selling points of this device is for singer/songwriters. I feel that this is a major oversight on their part. - The mobile app on Android (can't speak to iOS) isn't reliable enough to use live. You would be taking a big risk assuming it will work when you need it to. There is a custom EQ option in here, but again it's only layered on top of voicing modes and you can't see the full EQ curve you can only adjust bass and treble up/down 5db. This is serviceable if the app was reliable, but it isn't... You would serve yourself well to have an external EQ pedal or mixer of sorts if this is important to you. - I'm not entirely sure I'm happy with the gain staging on this, but I am working on it so this may be more my setup than an issue with the speaker. It's LOUD AS HELL via Bluetooth, but getting similar volume for vocals and guitar is elusive to me so far, though the volume I get is loud enough for what I need. Again, I am running through a Boss VE-8 so some of this is related to me correctly tweaking the output settings in that pedal, but I'm not really confident that this would produce enough output for more than maybe 10-20 listeners outside. Inside, maybe you could point it at a wall to get it to project a bit more? I'm not sure. ========= Overall, I would say it's a pretty nice speaker for the money as long as you can live with some of the caveats I listed. Given that it is almost half the price of something like the Bose S1 Pro+, it's hard to knock it for these things but it's important to keep them in mind. It's a relatively simple to use, barebones device with a couple of odd shortcomings that wouldn't have cost anything for Mackie to include (like a Live mode or flat response mode). ... show more

What an amazing speaker!
Size: 8-inch Style: Battery Powered Pattern: Loudspeaker
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. ... show more

These speakers are super handy to a mobile DJ.
Size: 8-inch Style: Battery Powered Pattern: Loudspeaker
I have two of these speakers and they are awesome for outdoor wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours. They sound great and have a very long lasting battery. Pair these with a girl transmitter and you can set them up wherever you need them. If I have a corner of a room that I want to reinforce sound in, I'll grab one of these speakers and set it up there. This allows for the audience in the back of the reception hall to hear the officiant or wedding speeches without having to turn up my main system blasting the people in front. I love these speakers. ... show more

Thump Thump Thump
Size: 8-inch Style: Battery Powered Pattern: Loudspeaker
My neighbor bought this over and lent it to me for a bit. He had the audacity to want it back. So, when this hit $380, I bought one. I have a few speakers (JBL clip 3, and a Flip 5 which are great), but even at lower volumes, this just sounds so much better (yes, $300 more meh). I read one review that said it wasn’t loud enough. I’m not quite sure what this person was expecting but I can assure you, it’s beyond fairly loud, unless you want to meet local law enforcement and chat. It’s not light as with small Bluetooth speakers, but out surprisingly light and I’m sure the battery will die at some point, but I’ve played music for as I’ve ever needed to (7 hours +) and I’ve yet to find the cutoff. Maybe it kicks off in 10 hours? I don’t know, maybe longer. It sounds fantastic. Place it 8” from a wall/corner (as you should with ANY speaker, smaller ~4”) and the bass Thumps (hence the name). I haven’t tested every speaker out there, as there are many, but honestly don’t know why you wouldn’t love this one. ... show more
