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

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! "
