It Started with a Compact Mixer: Launched by Greg Mackie in 1989, the Mackie brand started off designing a professional music and record- ing mixing console that evolved into the industry standard VLZ mixer line. The company branched into powered loudspeakers, studio monitors and DAW control surfaces throughout the years, always focused on bringing pro features to more users.
Combination of a Digital Mixer, Powered Loudspeaker and Bluetooth® Streaming and Control: Mackie’s portable PA systems, Reach and FreePlay, emerged from the company’s desire to combine their unique technology platforms of digital mixers, powered loud-speakers and Bluetooth® streaming and control. FreePlayTM is a unique form factor evolution of a traditional boom box. Mackie bills it as the ultimate stereo PA with a portable, battery powerable design for amazing sound anywhere. Perfect for smaller performances and presentations such as coffeehouse singer/songwriters, busking, bars, restaurants, hotels and schools, it has Bluetooth® music streaming capabilities from any device and connections for mics, guitars and other products. Users can play music or backing tracks using Bluetooth® and connect to their device for wireless control on all input levels, channel EQ and 16 digital effects via the Mackie Connect app for Android and iOS.
