Accurate Studio Monitor for Your Desktop!

Fitting squarely on your desktop, the Mackie MR8mk2 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. In fact, the previous MR8 was a huge best seller, garnering tons of great reviews from home users and industry pros alike. Here, Mackie has outdone themselves, giving the MR8mk2 all-new high-end drivers so you get better low-frequency extension and those clear, articulate highs you want. With an ultra-low distortion 8" 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 MR8mk2 is a great pick for home, project, and pro studios all over.

Mackie MR8mk2 Studio Monitor Features at a Glance:
  • High-resolution, powered studio reference monitor
  • Ultra low-distortion 8 LF driver
  • Long voice coil winding length allows high output with controlled low frequency performance
  • Optimally sized inverted dust cap stiffens cone for smooth response
  • Hyperbolic curved cone profile reduces severe cone resonances
  • High-output 1 soft dome tweeter
  • Neodymium magnet minimizes distortion and handles fast transients in dynamic source material
  • Ferro-fluid cooling protects against power compression
  • Acoustic absorption backing material provides smooth, reflection-free performance
  • Precision Class A/B amplification with Active protection circuits: 100W for LF / 50W for HF
  • Optimally sized custom waveguide provides seamless transition of HF and LF
  • Minimum-diffraction molded baffle imparts superior stereo imaging and depth
  • Adjustable HF and LF acoustic controls offer sonic tailoring to your mixing space
  • Flexible inputs include XLR, TRS, and RCA connections
  • Magnetic shielding allows safe placement near computers and video monitors
  • Precisely tuned to work interchangeably with other MRmk2 monitors

When you're in need of an accurate, reasonably priced studio monitor, get the Mackie MR8mk2 on your desktop!

Great prices, great service and BTW, even the little touch of adding some candy made my kids very pleased! Thank you!

Boring in its excellence!

YES, boring in its excellence, as in: Mackies quality NEVER changes. There's never any variance from "spot on". I had a specific purpose for these speakers, not what you'd think. We are going to use t... read more [+]hem to display our newest Organ, the SK1 at the NAMM show, where you cannot play loud. Our high-power Leslies made for the stage tend to get me in trouble with the floor managers!! The Mackies develop a full spectrum of sound at a close range without the need for high volume. They are doing EXACTLY what I ask of them, and are doing it perfectly. And thanks to Kevin Scott, "my guy" at Sweetwater for recommending them after I told him what I was looking for! close [-]

Very happy with this purchase. These MR8mk2 monitors are big, punchy, and sound great in our studio.

TOO HOT TO HANDLE !

MY 1st pair of Mackie Monitors since I heard their Original HR824 in the 90's.... via the Track " Shadows : Apache " . These Mk2 has a very strong bass presence...via near-field in my bedroom. The Mid... read more [+] range seems to be overpower by the lower frequency .My settings was 0 for the Low Feq. filter. I haven't tried them on my Mopads yet..... My Mk2 are place on Soundking stands via spikes at the base on a Rug. I'm playing back at maybe only 20% on its Amp Power... I always use Pop Tracks to test its Playback color " Michael Bolton / Agnez Monica : Said I love you But I Lied ".... Warm Vocals on these Mk2. When you do try to Mixed your DAW tracks it can be Heavy on Bass... I suggest trying to play a normal Cd track without Eq via itunes to detect its Feq. color. Pop tracks with Vocals would be good, The fine details in Highs are clear though the mid range seems laid back when low & high strings are playback.... " Depeche Mode : Home ". The Mk2 are maybe better off as mid-field monitors or wider bedroom studios... Perhaps your Ears are your Best Judge! Cheers. close [-]

Mackie MR8mk2 outstanding sounding monitors!

Just picked up the MR8mk2's to replace my KRK's and had no idea what to expect! Let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised with the Mackie's.

I use several high-end monitors in my studio a... read more [+]s I like to listen on different speakers to my mixes & masters. My main mixing monitors are my Genelec' 1030's with sub and they are amazing monitors but I have to say the Mackie's come darn close.

This is a huge statement coming form a die hard Genelec guy like me. The Mackie's might not be quite as detailed as the Genelec's but the highs, mids, and lows are crisp, tight, punchy and clean.

Another thing is the incredible powerful / full sound that comes from these monitors blows me away! Amazing for the price.

I would give them a 5 if the ports were in the front so they get a very positive 4.5 from me. close [-]
