How the level was stated. Sheet prints "Max SPL Peak"; distance and measurement conditions not stated, so 1 m is assumed by the sheet label only.

Coverage definition. Series sheet SW1505 Rev D (Aug 2026) prints one value for both models: Horizontal (-6 dB) 90 deg, Vertical (-6 dB) 50 deg. CONTRADICTION: the international sheet (SW1509 Rev A, Apr 2026, https://mackie.com/img/file_resources/MACKIE_THUMPV4_LOUDSPEAKER_SERIES_SS-intl.pdf) prints Horizontal (-12 dB) 140 deg, Vertical (-12 dB) 60 deg. -6 dB figure used. Not stated per model; no rotatable horn mentioned.

Notes. Sensitivity not printed. Pole socket on bottom, size not specified.

Coverage shape

Horizontal: 90° (seen from above)

Vertical: 50° (seen from the side)

What the figures mean at distance

Taking 130 dB at 1 m on axis and the free-field rule of 6 dB lost per doubling of distance, this is the most the speaker can reach and how wide and high its nominal coverage is at each distance. A real room adds reflections, and a speaker is not normally run at its maximum.

Distance	Level on axis	Coverage width	Coverage height
2 m	124.0 dB	4.0 m	1.9 m
5 m	116.0 dB	10.0 m	4.7 m
10 m	110.0 dB	20.0 m	9.3 m
15 m	106.5 dB	30.0 m	14.0 m
20 m	104.0 dB	40.0 m	18.7 m

See level and distance and coverage angles for how these are worked out.

Planning estimate only. The calculation ignores reverberation, reflections and room modes. See terms and disclaimer.
