UK - Mackie has added to its growing collection of awards by winning the prestigious Music Industries Association accolade for Best PA Product of 2004. The award, for the Mackie SRM450 Active PA speaker, was presented to Martin Warr, Loud Technologies' head of UK sales, by MIA president Bob Thomas at the Association's annual Awards Dinner, which took place in October at Sound in London's Leicester Square.

Over 260 guests from across the Music Industry attended the event, at which 40 MIA awards were presented. Commenting on the success of the Mackie SRM450, Martin Warr stated: "It's a great honour to receive this award and we're delighted that the MIA has recognized the impact Mackie's SRM450 speakers have had on the PA industry. For a small speaker the SRM 450 offers incredibly wide dispersion allowing the whole audience to hear clearly, whether they're in the front, back, or way out on the sides of the room."

Warr adds that it is especially pleasing to win an MIA award because the judging panel consists of respected industry experts, including magazine editors and dealer representatives. "Since its introduction, the SRM450 has become the industry benchmark for portable PA speakers and the model of choice for literally hundreds of thousands of customers all over the world. To have that success recognized by the MIA is truly the icing on the cake," he adds.
