Thrash22 GO is a full-size, battery-powered loudspeaker
that delivers professional sound, anywhere.
Forget long power cable runs—the swappable, rechargeable
battery lasts up to 0 hours, so you can take your music
to new places.
With onboard Bluetooth® connectivity, you can link
to a second Thrash22 GO in stereo for a completely
wireless music streaming system.
Thrash22 GO oers Mackie-level performance thanks
to ultra-ecient Class-D amplification and specially
selected components for high-output punch and clear
sound despite running on a battery.
Whether you’re at a beach wedding or in a 00-year-old
building with questionable wiring, you’ll always be prepared
to go o the grid with the Thrash22 GO.
How to Use This Manual:
Afer this introduction, a getting started guide will help
you get things set up fast. The hookup diagrams show
some typical Thrash22 GO loudspeaker setups, including
some that involve a Mackie subwoofer.
Thrash212 GO 12" Battery-Powered Loudspeaker
This icon marks information that is critically
important or unique! For your own good, read and
remember them...it is a good idea to pay special
attention to these areas in the Owner’s Manual
marked with the “VERY IMPORTANT” hand icon.
The following steps will help you set up the Thrash22 GO
quickly.
. Make all initial connections with the power switches
OFF on all equipment. Make sure the master volume,
level and gain controls are all the way down.
2. If not using a subwoofer, connect the outputs
from the mixing console (or other signal source)
to the inputs on the rear panel of the loudspeakers.
3. If using a subwoofer, connect the outputs from
the mixing console (or other signal source) to the inputs
on the subwoofer, then connect the high pass outputs
from the subwoofer to the inputs of the loudspeakers.
4. Push the line cord securely into the subwoofer’s /
loudspeaker’s IEC connectors and plug the other ends into
grounded AC outlets. The subwoofer/loudspeaker may accept
the appropriate voltage as indicated near the IEC connector.
5. Turn the mixer (or other signal source) on.
6. Turn the subwoofer on (if applicable).
7. Turn the loudspeakers on.
8. Make sure the loudspeaker’s channel gain knob(s)
are set to mic or line.
9. Be sure that the volume of the input is the same
as it would be during normal use.
There’s an illustration of a microscope,
so, of course, you’re going to get more
detailed information when you see this

Date of purchase:
0. Start the signal source and raise the mixer’s main
L/R fader up to a comfortably loud listening level.
Things to Remember:
• Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods. Please see
the Safety Instructions on page 2 for information on hearing
protection.
• As a general guide, the mixer (or other signal source) should
be turned on first, subwoofers next, and the Thrash22 GO
last. As such, the Thrash22 GO should also be turned o
first, followed by the subwoofers, then the mixer. This will
reduce the possibility of any turn-on or turn-o thumps and
other noises generated by any upstream equipment from
coming out of the speakers.
• Save the shipping boxes and packing materials! You may
need them someday. Besides, the cats will love playing
in them and jumping out at you unexpectedly. Remember
to pretend like you are surprised!
• Save your sales receipt in a safe place.
• Most importantly, never forget that Thrash22 will always
remember ‘your song’.

Thrash22 GO loudspeakers may be daisy-chained via the male XLR connector labeled “THRU”. Simply plug the signal
source (i.e., mixer output or microphone) into the input jack(s), and patch that loudspeaker’s thru jack to the next
loudspeaker’s input jack, and so on, daisy-chaining multiple Thrash22 GO loudspeakers. See above for visual
representations of daisy-chaining.
NOTE: Make sure to set the gain knob(s) correctly. In the top diagram, all channel inputs are set to “LINE”
and in the bottom diagram, input channel of the first Thrash22 GO is set to “MIC”, but the remaining ones should be
set to “LINE”. Keep in mind that these “MIC” and “LINE” markings are for reference only and may need to be raised or lower.

4. Gain Knobs
If you haven’t already, please read the “Quick Start”
section on page 4. Setting the gain correctly will ensure
that the preamplifier’s gain is not too high, where
distortion could occur, and not too low, where
the quieter, exquisitely-delicate passages might
be lost in background noise.
The gain knobs – in conjunction with the overload
LED – adjust the input sensitivity of the mic and line
inputs. This allows signals from the outside world to be
adjusted to run through each channel at optimal
internal operating levels.
If connecting mixer outputs to Thrash22 GO
inputs, set the gain knobs to 9:00 [“LINE”]
for optimal sound and performance.
Keep in mind that these “MIC” and “LINE”
markings are for reference only and may
need to be raised or lower.
5. Thru Jack
This is a balanced male XLR-type connector
Thrash212 GO 12" Battery-Powered Loudspeaker
that produces a mono-summed pre-DSP mix
from all input jacks. It is not aected by the main
volume. Use it to connect an additional Thrash22
GO or subwoofer o of the same signal source.
It is wired as follows, according to standards
specified by the AES (Audio Engineering Society):

6. Main Volume Knob
The level knob adjusts the overall signal level
at the input to the built-in power amplifiers.
It ranges from o (– ) to MAX (maximum gain).
• Thrash22 GO is designed to operate with a +4 dBu
average line signal when the main knob and the line
input gain are at the center position.
• Thrash22 GO may accept up to a +20 dBu line
signal by turning down the line input gain accordingly.
• Turning the main knob past center position will
provide enough gain to connect a microphone directly.
Most microphones will want the knob somewhere
around the 9:00 position. For safety, if you’re plugging
in a mic, start with the volume o and gradually
rotate it clockwise until you achieve the desired
volume... and be on the lookout for the dreaded
shriek of the feedback monster.
7. Bluetooth / Pair
While not a “physical” connection, stereo channel 3/4
is considered the Bluetooth channel and its volume
is raised and lowered via the device.
This is how to connect your device to the Thrash22
GO via Bluetooth! Read on...
Upon powering up the Thrash22 GO, the Bluetooth
function is either:
() In sleep mode. See ‘Pairing and connecting
for the first time’ (below) or...
(2) ...Paired and connected. See ‘Previously paired
and connected devices’ (also below).
Pairing and connecting for the first time:
To enter pairing mode, press and hold the pair switch
down for two to three seconds. The LED will illuminate
and slow flash blue for approximately 60 seconds while
in pairing mode. [The LED will continue to flash until it
has successfully paired and connected].
While Thrash22 GO is in pairing mode,
simultaneously scan for Bluetooth devices
on your device. You should see Thrash22 GO appear
in the list of “available devices”. Select it by tapping
it. From there, your Bluetooth device should indicate
that it is successfully connected. Additionally, the pair
button will stop flashing and remain solid blue. If it does
not, start the pairing process again, and make sure that
Thrash22 GO and your device are both in pairing mode
at the same time.

This dual-colored LED will illuminate green
when the loudspeaker is turned on, as a reminder
of how on it really is. If it is not on, then it is o,
and the loudspeaker becomes a rather nice weight
for keeping your morning newspaper from blowing
away in the wind.
If it does not turn on, make sure that () the power
cord is correctly inserted at both ends, the local AC
mains supply is active and the power switch is on, or
(2) the battery has life if not going the electric route.
Thrash22 GO also has a built-in limiter that
helps to prevent the amplifier outputs from clipping
or overdriving the transducers. The LED illuminates
red when the limiter is activated. If this occurs,
turn down the gain knob.
Excessive limiting may lead to overheating,
which in turn trips the thermal protect
circuitry and interrupts the performance.
See ‘Thermal Protection’ on page 3 for more
information.

Final Thoughts
Just a few final thoughts before we dive
into a little more boring “techy”-type stu.
Factory Reset
Let’s also talk factory resets. Since settings may
be changed via Thump Connect 2, it may be necessary
to reset the Thrash22 GO to its factory settings.
There are two kinds of resets:
• Sof Reset – Just a simple power cycle will reset
all settings that were previously set via the rear
panel back to their default settings (except
for Bluetooth and linked speakers that are
stored within Thrash22 GO).
• Hard Reset – A hard reset resets the entire
unit to its factory default, including auto-connect
and auto-link.
Battery Replacement
The Lithium-Ion Battery allows you to use
Thrash22 GO without the need to be plugged
in or wasting money on expensive batteries.
SAFETY FIRST: Before installing and using
this product, please read these instructions
carefully. Failure to follow the precautions
may result in damage, injury, or even death.
. WARNING: The battery (battery or batteries
or battery pack) shall not be exposed to excessive
heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
2. CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery
is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same
or equivalent type.
3. No open flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
WARNING: When installing this product, always
respect the safety standard. Do not install the product
in any way that is not described in these instructions.
For starters, the loudspeaker needs to be powered
on. Then, holding both the pair and link buttons
(while either is engaged) clears all paired devices
and previously linked speakers.
Thrash212 GO 12" Battery-Powered Loudspeaker
Be sure to power down any amps
and/or powered speakers before
resetting Thrash22 GO.
If you use the factory default key
combination, you are also wiping
the Thrash22 GO’s memory
of previously paired devices.
To remedy this, on your phone, tablet or other
Bluetooth device, you will need to ‘forget device’
in the Bluetooth settings, then re-pair in order
to regain communication and functionality.
BATTERY / COVER REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Unplug Thrash22 GO and set it down with the grille
side facing down on a sof, flat surface.
Using a flathead or Phillips screwdriver, rotate
the two locking tabs counter-clockwise until they
unlock and the compartment is ready for removal.
The battery compartment is located underneath
the power connector. Remove the battery compartment
cover and set it aside.

Owner’s Manual
As seen below, the removable battery is surrounded
by the dotted line.
BATTERY
There are finger grips on each side of the battery.
Remove the battery from captivity by lifing it straight
up to freedom.
BATTERY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Once the battery cover and battery have been
removed and set aside, it’s time to insert a dierent
one.
NOTE: Do not force the battery into place.
There is only one way it fits and there
should be no resistance during installation.
As seen in the drawing above, a horizontal power
connector is located in the lower-lef corner from
where the battery was removed. Line up the power
connector of the battery with the power connector
of Thrash22 GO and press down. Again, this is
an easy process; no force is necessary.
Replace the battery cover and lock it
to the Thrash22 GO by rotating the two
locking tabs clockwise until they lock into place.
Protection Circuitry
Thrash22 GO employs a built-in limiter for less
distortion at peak levels. A dynamic bass response
circuit provides optimal low frequency response
regardless of overall output level. Additional protection
includes automatic thermal shutdown should the amp
overheat. However, with Class-D amp technology, which
is highly-ecient, this should never be a problem.
The protection circuits are designed
to protect it under reasonable and
sensible conditions. Should you choose
to ignore the warning signs [e.g. excessive distortion],
you can still damage the woofer in the loudspeaker
by overdriving it past the point of amplifier clipping.
Such damage is beyond the scope of the warranty.
Limiting
Let’s take a peek under the hood at the titanium
high-frequency driver. Compared to other available
drivers, these provide a substantially smoother
high-frequency response which results in a studio
monitor level of accuracy and clarity. Furthermore,
these drivers oer an insanely smooth transient
response behavior. Yes, we, too, are fans of our
own products!
Continuing on, the driver has its own compression
circuit which helps protect it from damaging transient
peaks. The compressor is designed to be transparent
and is not noticeable under normal operating
conditions.
When not in use, the spare battery
(purchased separately) may be charged
by plugging the included wall adapter
into the power receptacle of the battery
and the other side into a live AC outlet. The battery
will also charge while inside a plugged-in Thrash22
GO.
Overexcursion Protection
A subsonic filter circuit just prior to the power
amplifier prevents ultra-low frequencies from being
amplified. Excessive low-frequency energy can damage
the woofer by causing it to “bottom out,” also know
as overexcursion, which is equivalent to a mechanical
form of clipping.
Thermal Protection
All amplifiers produce heat. Thrash22 GO
is designed to be ecient both electrically
and thermally. In the unlikely event of the amplifier
overheating, a built-in thermal switch will activate,
muting the signal.
When the amplifier has cooled down to a safe
operating temperature, the thermal switch resets
itself, and the Thrash22 GO resumes normal operation.
If the thermal switch activates, try turning down
the level control a notch or two on the mixing console
(or via the main volume knob) to avoid overheating
the amplifier. Be aware that direct sunlight and/or
hot stage lights may be the culprit of an amplifier
overheating.

AC Power
Placement
Be sure the Thrash22 GO is plugged into an outlet
that is able to supply the correct voltage. It will
continue to operate at lower voltages, but will not
reach full power. Be sure the electrical service
can supply enough amperage for all the components
connected to it.
We recommend that a sti (robust) supply
of AC power be used because the amplifiers place
high current demands on the AC line. The more power
that is available on the line, the louder the speaker will
play and the more peak output power will be available
for a cleaner, punchier bass. A suspected problem
of “poor bass performance” is ofen caused by a weak
AC supply to the amplifiers.
Never remove the ground pin
on the power cord or any other component
of the Thrash22 GO. This is very dangerous.
Care and Maintenance
Your Thrash22 GO will provide many years
of reliable service if you follow these guidelines:
Thrash212 GO 12" Battery-Powered Loudspeaker
• Avoid exposing it to moisture. If it is set up
outdoors, be sure it is under cover if rain is expected.
• Avoid exposure to extreme cold (below
freezing temperatures). If you must operate
in a cold environment, warm up the voice coils
slowly by sending a low-level signal through them
for about 5 minutes prior to high-power operation.
WARNING: Installation should only be done
by an experienced technician. Improper
installation may result in damage to the
equipment, injury or – while highly unlikely – death.
Make sure that the Thrash22 GO is installed in a stable
and secure way in order to avoid any conditions
that may be dangerous for persons or structures.
Thrash22 GO is designed to sit on the floor
or stage as the main PA or as monitors. They may
also be pole-mounted via the built-in socket on
the bottom of the cabinet. Be sure the pole is capable
of supporting the weight of the loudspeaker.
The T00 is a great tripod option and the SPM200
(unthreaded) or SPM400 (threaded) is a nice choice
when using a subwoofer.
Thrash22 GO does not have any fly points
and may NOT be flown. NEVER attempt
to suspend a Thrash22 GO by its handles.
Check to make sure that the support surface
(e.g. floor, etc.) has the necessary mechanical
characteristics to support the weight of the
loudspeaker(s).
When pole-mounting loudspeakers, be sure that they
are stabilized and secured from falling over or being
accidentally pushed over. Failure to follow these
precautions may result in damage to the equipment,
personal injury, or death.
Thrash22 GO may also be laid out horizontally as
monitors for the band at a 45˚ angle (as seen below).
It is intended to be used only when the speaker
is in its wedge configuration and works best
when on a hard work surface, like a stage.
• Use a dry cloth to clean the cabinet.
Only do this when the power is turned o.
Avoid getting moisture into any of the openings of
the cabinet, particularly where the drivers are located.
As seen above, the Running Man logo
is rotatable for when the loudspeaker
is used as a monitor!
As with any powered components, protect them
from moisture. Avoid installing the loudspeaker
in places exposed to harsh weather conditions.
If you are setting them up outdoors, make sure
they are under cover if you expect rain.

Room Acoustics
Thrash22 GO is designed to sound fantastic in nearly
every application.
But, room acoustics play a crucial role in the overall
performance of a sound system. However, the wide
high-frequency dispersion of Thrash22 GO helps
to minimize the problems that typically arise.
Here are some additional placement tips to help
overcome some typical room problems that might arise:
• Placing loudspeakers in the corners of a room
increases the low frequency output and can cause
the sound to be muddy and indistinct.
• Placing loudspeakers against a wall increases
the low frequency output, though not as much
as corner placement. However, this is a good way
to reinforce the low frequencies, if so desired.
• Avoid placing the speakers directly on a hollow
stage floor. A hollow stage can resonate at certain
frequencies, causing peaks and dips in the frequency
response of the room. It is better to place them
on a sturdy stand designed to handle the weight
of the loudspeaker.
Owner’s Manual
• Position the loudspeakers so the high-frequency
drivers are two to four feet above ear level for
the audience (making allowances for an audience
that may be standing/dancing in the aisles).
High frequencies are highly directional and tend
to be absorbed much easier than lower frequencies.
By providing direct line-of-sight from the loudspeakers
to the audience, you increase the overall brightness
and intelligibility of the sound system.
• Highly reverberant rooms, like many gymnasiums
and auditoriums, are a nightmare for sound system
intelligibility. Multiple reflections o the hard walls,
ceiling, and floor play havoc with the sound. Depending
on the situation, you may be able to take some steps
to minimize the reflections, such as putting carpeting
on the floors, closing draperies to cover large glass
windows, or hanging tapestries or other materials
on the walls to absorb some of the sound.
However, in most cases, these remedies are not
possible or practical. So what do you do? Making
the sound system louder generally doesn’t work
because the reflections become louder, too.
The best approach is to provide as much direct sound
coverage to the audience as possible. The farther away
you are from the speaker, the more prominent will be
the reflected sound.
Use more speakers strategically placed so they
are closer to the back of the audience. If the distance
between the front and back speakers is more than
about 00 feet, you should use an external delay
processor to time-align the sound. (Since sound
travels about foot per millisecond, it takes about
/0 of a second to travel 00 feet.)

Appendix A: Service Information
If you think your Thrash22 GO has a problem, please
check out the following troubleshooting tips and do your
best to confirm the problem. Visit the Support section
of our website (www.mackie.com/support) where you
will find lots of useful information such as FAQs and other
documentation. You may find the answer to the problem
without having to part with your loudspeaker.
Troubleshooting
No power
• Our favorite question: Is it plugged in and/or is
the battery charged? Make sure the AC outlet
is live [check with a tester or lamp].
• Our next favorite question: Is the power switch on?
If not, try turning it on.
• Make sure the line cord is securely seated in the line
cord socket and plugged all the way into the AC outlet.
• Is the power LED on the front panel illuminated?
If not, make sure the AC outlet is live. If so, refer
to “No sound” below.
• The internal AC line fuse may be blown. This is not
a user serviceable part. If you suspect the AC line
fuse is blown, please see the "Repair" section next.
Thrash212 GO 12" Battery-Powered Loudspeaker
use both outputs of a stereo synth (which sums
to mono, anyway), etc.
Noise
• Make sure all connections to the Thrash22 GO
are good and sound.
• Make sure none of the signal cables are routed near
AC cables, power transformers, or other EMI-inducing
devices.
• Is there a light dimmer or other SCR-based device
on the same AC circuit as the Thrash22 GO? Use an
AC line filter or plug the loudspeaker into a dierent
AC circuit.
Hum
• Try disconnecting the cable connected to the input
jack. If the noise disappears, it could be a “ground
loop,” rather than a problem with the Thrash22 GO.
Try some of the following troubleshooting ideas:
• Use balanced connections throughout your
system for the best noise rejection.
• Whenever possible, plug all the audio
equipment’s line cords into outlets which share
a common ground. The distance between
the outlets and the common ground should
be as short as possible.
16
No sound
• Is the level knob for the input source turned all the way
down? Verify that all the volume controls in the system
are properly adjusted. Look at the level meter
to ensure that the mixer is receiving a signal.
• Is the signal source working? Make sure
the connecting cables are in good repair and securely
connected at both ends. Make sure the output level
control on the mixing console is turned up suciently
to drive the inputs of the speaker.
• Make sure the mixer does not have a mute on
or a processor loop engaged. If you find something
like this, make sure the level is turned down before
disengaging the oending switch.
• Has it shut down? Make sure there is at least six
inches of free space behind each Thrash22 GO.
Poor sound
• Is it loud and distorted? Make sure that you’re not
overdriving a stage in the signal chain. Verify that
all level controls are set properly.
• Is the input connector plugged completely into
the jack? Be sure all connections are secure.
• Are there phasing issues? The signal source should
only be connected to a single input. For example,
do not connect the L/R outputs from a mixer
to the Thrash22 GO channel and 2 inputs.
Do not use a Y cable to split a phone’s signal,
Thrash212 GO 12" Battery-Powered Loudspeaker
Bluetooth / Linking Issues
• Sometimes a good ‘ol fashioned reset works wonders.
There are two types, sof and hard. See page 2
