Drop the Bass (Anyplace) With the New Mackie ThumpSub GO

Bothell, WA (September 25, 2025)… Mackie takes their legendary innovation into the lower frequencies with the new ThumpSub GO, the first battery-powered portable subwoofer from an established professional audio brand. Thanks to the slim, ergonomic design, ThumpSub GO makes it possible to add chest-thumping, floor-shaking low end to your battery-powered PA system, without sacrificing portability. Musicians, DJs and live sound professionals can now drop the bass, anyplace.

ThumpSub GO combines two battery compartments for up to 12 hours of continuous bass thumping using two rechargeable GB-200 batteries at once.* Since the sub also works perfectly with a single battery, it’s possible to charge a second battery elsewhere, then hot swap it out—without the unit powering down for even a moment! (*ThumpSub GO includes one GB-200 battery for up to 6 hours of battery life. Optional second battery sold separately.)

Carry the bass like a briefcase with the built-in ergonomic handle. Thanks to the low-profile design, you can lay ThumpSub GO flat and slide it out of sight under tables, stages, DJ stands—you name it. ThumpSub GO works equally well vertically, making it easy to fit into narrow spaces where it won’t get in the way. Subwoofers should be felt, not seen.

Mackie designed ThumpSub GO as the perfect companion to the Thump GO battery-powered loudspeaker, but it’s just as effective for adding powerful bass reinforcement for Thump210, Thump210XT, ShowBox or any portable loudspeaker with up to a 10” woofer. You can even mount a speaker above ThumpSub GO using the SPM400 speaker pole (sold separately) to create an all-in-one system with a minimal footprint.

“There are a lot of battery-powered speakers on the market, but very few battery-powered subwoofers to go along with them. It’s a huge gap in portable PA systems,” said Associate Director of Product Development Ty Vaughn. “Adding a sub makes you realize how much low frequency content you’ve been missing.”

Still not convenient enough? ThumpSub GO can stream music wirelessly from phones, tablets and laptops with Bluetooth®. Since any streaming audio gets passed from ThumpSub GO to any connected loudspeakers, this subwoofer can create a complete Bluetooth®-capable PA system even if the loudspeakers don’t have built-in Bluetooth®.

Of course, all of this innovation comes with the essentials of a professional subwoofer, beginning with dual 8” woofers for deep, nuanced bass response. ThumpSub GO has all the inputs and outputs for a mono, stereo or zone PA system. The phase inversion switch solves any phase cancellation issues. High pass and full range modes allow users to optimize the balance between the subwoofer and connected loudspeakers. Keep track of ThumpSub GO when the lights go down with useful LEDs for system power, overload and one for each battery.

For a battery-powered subwoofer that’s both portable and powerful, ThumpSub GO is the absolute best choice in professional audio. Combine this innovative solution with other battery-powered Mackie products like the Thump GO loudspeaker and ProFX10 GO battery-powered mixer to create a complete battery-powered PA system that can connect to anything and sound great, miles from a power outlet. It’s all part of Mackie’s mission to bring our legendary quality and innovation wherever music goes.

Mackie ThumpSub GO is now shipping and will be available at Mackie.com and at participating retailers, with a MAP of $599.99.
