Btw, I wanted to mention that the new SRM 350's are suppose to eliminate 'any' possibility of thermal shutoff by incorporating a new design implementation into the speaker which uses both Input limiting and will monitor temperature constantly and by the use of internal Fan??[s] which will regulate air flow accordingly and they will never need to shut off to cool down. The SRM350 speakers are suppose to hit the market later this month (although the launch time has been delayed several times unfortunately).

They use a 10" woofer instead of the 12" of the SRM 450. But they use a different technology and design to increase the Bass response and output so they should sound pretty similar to the 450 in the Bass department I would think. They will weigh 32 lbs. vs. the 450 at 51 lbs. plus they will cost less too - around $150 less per speaker. They don't have the raw power of the 450's of course but should suffice nicely for small to medium and medium large (200 people or less) venues.

Best regards,
Mike
