App won’t connect
As with legion of frustrated comments here I can pair my iPhone 14 Pro Max to speaker but the app won’t connect
United StatesPains me to say
Initially, I was a huge advocate of Mackie products because they seem to work favorably well and we’re not bank busters, but when I got to the Mackey Gump, my opinion changed dramatically. First will address the defects in my Mackie Thump Go. Originally purchased in late December. It was only recently that I was able to set it up because Mackie does not provide you with any documentation instruction manuals or anything like that. They are online. If you’re online they can be downloaded if you’re able to download and of course you can print if you have a printer. I don’t have a printer. My Internet is spotty at best and I couldn’t download them because I’m operating on the Apple iOS. When I set it up today using My also recently purchased Mackie pro effects 10 and played the first chord of my guitar. It sounded as if the whole thing was going to come apart. There was obviously something wrong with the speaker it rattled, and was only producing maybe a quarter of the value that one would expect, fortunately the retailer I purchased it from was very kind and swapped it out. And I started searching for all the manuals that are referenced in the main manual, which I can only read online and lo and behold. There’s several of them. The one that I still haven’t found is the one for this ridiculous app in the main manual it makes reference to the fact that the, Thump Connect 2 is an intricate part of the thump go and is a necessity. If you want to use it, you need to use the Thump Connect 2 reference guide they say this is if you know it’s right there in front of you it’s not anywhere I looked on the webpage. I looked on this general Internet, nothing.Maybe I’m old maybe I’m crotchety, but this kind of customer service just pisses me off and I will not be doing business with Maggie again in the future so let mine pay your lesson. Don’t even bother with Mackie. It’s not worth the headache and a is going to treat you that way they’re not worth dealing with.
United StatesCheck settings
If you can’t get the app to work check that 1) in apple settings for the app, it is allowed to use bluetooth. You might have your phone itself connected to the speaker to play music, but that does not mean the app is allowed to use bluetooth. 2) Then pair the speaker with your phone by pressing and holding the “pair” button at the back of the speaker for 5+ seconds. Once the phone is connected to the speaker then 3) start the app. The app doesn’t do anything special but it’s useful for controlling the volume from your pocket.
United StatesWhy sliders full volume on start up
I let Mackie know about the obvious mess up by having the mixer sliders come up with max volume on all channels and the main slider. What nonsense is this. They told me they are not fixing and I should turn down the physical volume on the speaker first. Sounds mentally lacking to me. Who in their right mind who uses speakers and a mixer turns all the sliders up to full volume before turning on their system? Not one person would do that. Why have the app do it? Guessing this is an easy fix so why the push back? Admit you are wrong and fix it yo.
United StatesNo issues here
I didn't have any issues connecting or using the app. If you Google looking for the user manual for your speaks you will find it online. I have the 215xt. I Googled it and followed the directions in the manual and connected easily, the first time. You need to wait for the blue light on the pairing button to stop blinking fast. Once it does hold down the pairing button for a few seconds. It will start flasing blue but it will be much slower than when you turned it on. Open your bluetooth settings on the device and search. You should see the Thump Connect 2 app pretty much right away! I did it a few times with no problem. If you want to link the speakers, hold down the link button on one of the speakers till it slowly blinks blue. Then just press the link button normally on the other speaker and let go. They will find eachother and connect. It really was all very simple!
United StatesPairing
If you set your phone to pair and press the button on the speaker that says pair, it works instantly I had music playing from my cell phone within 30 seconds. I’m not sure what the other reviewer was doing wrong. I have not use this for an event yet, so I can’t really speak to the sound quality with voice and music. I will come back and edit this.
United StatesLove the speaker HATE the app
Mackie - You all seriously need to do BETTER! Your "connect" for the speaker is HORRIBLE! The app will not connect despite the update allegedly correcting the issue with ios16. I can sometimes get the app to work on my phone but NEVER on my iPad. The lack of conectivity and poor overall quality of the app does not represent the organization well.
United States
The Thump Connect 2 v1.2.0 update fixes a compatibility issue with iOS16 that prevented the app from connecting to Thump XT and Thump Go loudspeakers.
