Does anyone know who makes the Drivers for the Mackie HR824 monitors?
The metal tweeter and the low frequency driver.
Thanks

I could be wrong about this, but I think they are made by RCF, the Italian transducer manufacturer that is owned by Mackie.

I heard a pro ME mention that it's a $24 woofer in there. Would be nice to find out who supplies these drivers though.

I could also be wrong, but I'm thinking RCF as well.

Well, I can tell you it's no LPG or Audax or ETON or Seas or Vifa these are the top metal dome manufacturers and whatever Mackie uses, it ain't worth the freaking $80 they're asking for. since all of the above tweeters cost under $40 and LPG is about one of the best you can get.

I heard from one of the Sweetwater reps that the tweeter is the same as in the Genelec 1031A's. Anyone else got any info on this?
