Fitting easily on your desktop, the Mackie MR5mk2 is the sort of monitor you want when working on delicate mixes. With it, you get an accurate response that helps you fine-tune your mix.

With an ultra-low distortion 5.25" low-frequency driver, a high-output 1" soft-dome tweeter specially designed to keep your ears fatigue-free, and a range of inputs (XLR, TRS, RCA) to fit into nearly any setup imaginable, the Mackie MR5mk2 makes a perfect fit for your studio.

Only spent 10 bucks on my first purchase, but you treated me as if was spending a grand. Being an independent business owner, I know all to well the importance of dedicated customer service which is the best way to win over the corporate chains. Tootsie Rolls always win me over too. I'm sure some much bigger purchases are in our future.
