If its the blue front light you are talking about it is a fiddly but simple fix.
1 phone mackie and order an l.e.d. about £2
2 when it arrives take out the woofer and carefully lay to the side.
3 use a very small philips screwdriver, a tiny bit of blue tack, a mirror and a torch to remove the screw holding the small circuit board with the l.e.d.in place (the blue tack is to put on the tip of the screwdriver to hold the screw and the mirror and torch is so that you can see it)
4 remove the small circuit board and un-solder the l.e.d from it take note of the orientation of the contacts as they only work one way round) and resolder the new one in place.
5 check that it works and re-fit the board and screw ( this can take 2 seconds or 2 hours depending on how lucky you are and how sticky the blue tack is.
6 re-fit the woofer and grill.

the other way is to split the cabinet using the screws on the back and then the repair is obvious from number 4-5

Replace fuse on the SRM450

You just take out all the screws from the back and remove it carefully, there you'll find fuse near by the power plug.
Check amperage (I think it is 4Amp fuse) and replace it

Mackie 450 thermal light on no sound

could you give some more info? what are your running into your speaker? and how exactly is it run? once we weed out common issues like switched up cables, than we can move on to internals.
which on that note, I think this is a manufacturing defect


here's a link to the schematic if you want to go poking around the circuits.....

take a resistance test between D56 pin1 and Q35 pin2. thats where this issue seems to be stemming from from ones ive worked on. I have know it to be an internal track that was broken and needed to be glued back down. definitely not the first time ive seen this....

I have Mackie SRM450v2 speakers, one has no power, I think the fuse has blown, it it possible for me to change this myself? The manual says it's not user serviceable.

Chances are if the fuse has blown, there are failed electronic components that caused the failure.

Here is a service manual that will be CLOSE to your unit, though not exact:

http://elektrotanya.com/mackie_srm450_active_speaker.rar/download.html

Scroll down to the "Get Manual" on the site and click on the link. The file is compressed. The first part is the schematic, the second the assembly and parts list. Likely the main low freq power amp has shorted transistors.

Repair a Mackie SRM 450 Speaker The Speaker is making a crackling sound while playing. The sound keeps cracking up.

You probably need to replace the diaphragm. The diaphragm is located behind the back cap. Simply remove the back cap, remove the diaphragm, clean the voice coil gap with a piece of masking tape, install a new replacement diaphragm, reinstall the back cap. That it!
You can see videos on how to replace diaphragm at this link.

Mackie srm450 not making any sound at all

It sounds like the thermostat didn't shut the speakers down before they were damaged. There is probably a very fine wire leading to the speaker coils which is burned/broken. Fixing this broken connection my solve the problem unless the coil itself is damaged.

Another possibility is that the crossover circuitry in the speaker cabinet is damaged from overheating.

Sounds like you need a service tech to look at the bad speaker, unless you want to tackle the job.

Mackie srm450 the tops on one speaker is not working

Hi There, This is quite a common problem with the Mackie SRM450's. You will find that you need to replace the diaphram on the top. This can be done by removing the 16 screws from the back of the Mackie (quite a long pain in the **** job) with a long handled cross head screw driver.

Once you have done this you should then remove the hex bolts from the back of the drive where the black and right terminals are. When this is done, pull off the cover and swap the diaphram out. With the new diaphram in place reverse the steps above but before you screw the back on, power it up carefully and check the sound is now working.

If the diaphram keeps going eg every 3 to 4 months then you will need to change the driver which is quite expensive to do. If you need spares and are based in the UK, contact LondonSpeakerShop.com who carry spare parts or can undertake the repair.

Hope this helps.
