Re: [Harp-L] Mackie SRM-350

I,ll have to second that I've used one (450) for several years, for when I 
can't plug into the PA and usually have no problem being heard. My next 
musical purchase will be a 350. I tried one a few months ago with a 
harmonizer which had an octave in it. The low notes (octaves) were seriously 
smooth for such a small speaker. I was simply 
amazed............................................................Dane Paul
