Excellent and Affordable Mackie Monitor! The MR8 is part of Mackie's new MR series of monitors that offer incredible Mackie power and performance at a very affordable price! Delivering all the essentials critical monitoring demands - including consistent performance, and clear sound across frequencies - the MRs also offer a broad sweet spot, giving you more flexibility to move around your desk while still hearing what you need to hear. You can even use acoustic controls to comepensate for your room's characteristics! At this affordable price, the M8 features 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 MR8 monitors are worth taking home. Mackie MR8 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 MR8 Active Monitor Features: Precision Class A/B 100/50W bi-amplifier with active protection circuits HF and LF acoustic setting switches for room correction XLR, 1/4" and RCA inputs Ultra low distortion 8" steel frame woofer Wave guide loaded 1" high resolution tweeter Minimum diffraction molded baffle All units are tuned to work interchangeably as matched pairs The MR8 is an ultra-affordable professional monitor from Mackie! Customer Reviews  MR8, theyre grreatt   by Guas from Orlando, FL USA, July 11, 2008 Music Background:  Recording Hobbyist, Amateur Live Sound Engineer “yes i know, I'm cheesy on the title. But here's the lowdown on these speakers. With the switches on normal settings (no boost or cut), they're as natural as Niagara Falls. Push the switch for bass and you still have crystal clear sound across all frequencies, with the low end that people crave out of the KRK Rokit G2's (and that's on +2db). I also compared these to the Yamaha HS80m's... those...” Read More • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "The idea of an 8" 150-watt studio monitor for under $300 almost seems impossible to accomplish because of the type of quality Mackie puts into their speakers both in construction and overall sound. When I heard these new MR8s I was shocked! To my amazement they were able to deliver a killer monitor at a killer price! These monitors stand up strong with the Mackie name and they deliver some really good low end, excellent midrange, and overall just a very good sound for the money. For $500 for a pair of these you would be crazy not to take a good long look at these Mackie monitors. Startup studios, you can get some great monitors at a great price and still have money left over for more gear!
