The Mackie MR10Smk3 Active Studio Subwoofer delivers deep, powerful bass to let you hear what's going on in the bottom octave of your recordings. Mackie designed the MR10Smk3 for high-output low-end performance, increasing your SPL capabilities, while freeing up your mains for critical monitoring of the midrange and high frequencies. Perfectly matched to Mackie's MRmk3 studio monitors, this sub features a 10" glass-aramid-composite driver powered by a beefy 120W amp. The compact enclosure has rear porting for smooth low-end extension, and rubber feet to minimize vibration and unwanted resonance. Hear everything, with the Mackie MR10Smk3.

• "Big monitor" bass response
• Pro features to make your life easier
• It's a Mackie

If you've ever heard a loud playback on the "bigs" (main monitors) in a world-class studio, it's a revelation. For the uninitiated, your first reaction is one of being overwhelmed. After a 45 seconds or so - after you've stopped gasping for air and started getting into it - the first thing you marvel at is the incredibly tight and deep bass. For a modest investment, the Mackie MR10Smk3 gets you there. Feel the crush of a well-recorded kick drum. The sheer magnitude of a monster synth bass. To record frequencies this low, you've got to be able to hear them. In combination with Mackie's MRmk3 studio monitors (or any other solid "main" monitors), the MR10Smk3 gives you "big monitor" capabilities (including the ability to impress the heck out your clients), affordably.

Mackie equipped the MR10Smk3 active sub with a number of features to make your life easier, including an adjustable crossover and a polarity switch that make short work of integrating it into your monitoring setup. For input flexibility, the MR10Smk3 is fitted with stereo XLR and TRS connections. It's also got stereo balanced TRS outputs for connection to your main monitors. The attractive, rugged all-wood cabinet sports vibration-absorbing rubber feet to minimize undesirable resonances, and a soft-mesh grille cloth for a sleek studio look.

In the '90s, Mackie rewrote the book on nearfield studio monitoring, and they've been tweaking ever since to give you even more affordable and accurate monitors. The MRmk3 Series is Mackie's latest assault on the state of the art. But whatever your main monitors are, your recordings will benefit from the full-range monitoring a subwoofer brings to the party. Add a Mackie MR10Smk3 to your monitoring setup and hear what you've been missing.
