FreePlay Series
The freedom to play what you want, where you want, when you want is here. Mackie presents the new FreePlay series of speakers. Designed for the folks who are live musicians, public speakers, or simply those with an audience that needs to hear, this new speaker is compact, powerful, and just what you need. Playing outside, inside, places with no power, the sky is the limit for where you can go. Built with the Mackie commitment to quality and durability, this speaker provides ample power with a sleek, long lasting design.
Mobility
Keeping pace with the times Mackie has come out with this speaker with mobility in mind. This line has a built-in battery with a life of up to 15 hours allowing you the freedom to go wherever your playing may take you. In addition, you can make a choice: bring the cables or leave them at home. This speaker features a 1/8″ input and two dual TRS/XLR inputs giving you the power of sound for microphones, keyboards, guitars, and even the random iPod floating around a party. Don’t want to deal with the wires? This speaker has entered the age of Bluetooth. Not only do you now have streaming available to fill your dead space, the ability to control it all from your device is coming soon.
The FreePlay Connect app is soon coming to the Apple App Store. For now, it is available on Google Play. This app will give users the ability to mount their device to their stands and stand in control for the entire performance. A swipe of the finger now gives in place control over master volume levels as well as individual inputs. Be your own sound engineer! Gain, reverb, EQ, all of these are easy to manipulate with just a few taps.
