An Affordable Mackie Monitor with Room Correction Abilities

You can even use acoustic controls to comepensate for your room's characteristics! At this affordable price, the M5s feature active bi-amplified architecture, tight, distortion-free bass, excellent imaging and clarity, and carry the Mackie stamp of approval - which is quite the stamp, considering Mackie's excellent reputation.There's no doubt that these MR5 monitors are worth taking home.

Mackie MR5 Active Monitor at a Glance:
  • Minimum-diffraction molded baffle for a clearer image
  • Special amplifier design
  • Rear-ported cabinent

Minimum-diffraction molded baffle
Mackie's baffle is molded to minimize diffraction, so that sound waves are dispersed evenly and smoothly. What you can expect is a clear image of your mix, and a wide sweet spot - giving you great sound whether you're on axis or off.

Special amplifier design
The amplifier design on the MR5s and the MR8s is matched to the monitor design, featuring Mackie's A/B architecture. Instead of coloring the sound, Mackie designed the amplifier to be neutral, delivering an ultra-flat frequency response. Acoustic controls allow you to adjust high and low frequency settings to compensate for your room's acoustics. Mackie also included both balanced and unbalanced inputs - giving you the ability to handle any material you need.

Rear-ported cabinet
The speaker cabinet features a rear port that's designed to deliver a great bass sound without any audible vent noise. Air can pass through the curved port easily, so you get great bass without distortion - and no build-up of pressure within the cabinet that may affect driver movement. Strong cabinet bracing and MDF construction prevents any unwanted vibrations or resonance.

Mackie MR5 Active Monitor Features:
  • Precision Class A/B 55/30W bi-amplifier with active protection circuits
  • HF and LF acoustic setting switches for room correction
  • XLR, 1/4" and RCA inputs
  • Ultra low distortion 5.25" steel frame woofer
  • Wave guide loaded 1" high resolution tweeter

The MR5 is an ultra-affordable professional monitor from Mackie!

Customer Reviews
 Amazing Monitors!!!

“I just recieved these monitors as my first set of studio monitors, never having even heard true studio monitors before, I'm absolutely blown away by the clarity and response of the MR5's. The features offered, like the room adjustment switches are not typically found on monitors in this price range, and because of the Mackie name, you also get EAW engineering. Worth every penny to me!”

  "The soundstage, clarity and output of these monitors defy their size. Great for those who have less space for placement or less money in their budget. Nice option if you need a secondary reference monitor as well."
