Continuing to make Mackie's studio monitor designs more accessible than ever, the MR Series features their proven logarithmic waveguide which provides an ultra-wide listening sweet spot and enhanced stereo imaging for higher fidelity and consistent sound over a wide listening area. Utilizing extensive tuning by Mackie acoustic engineers, precision transducers, and high-performance amplifiers, MR Series monitors deliver an honest, accurate representation of the mix, so users can count on their projects to always sound the way they intended.
"The MR Series has been very popular for a wide array of users and applications thanks to their solid design and professional sound quality," commented Jon Rundle, Mackie Product Manager. "With MR, we saw an opportunity to really take advantage of some of our best studio monitor technology. By borrowing design elements from our flagship HR and XR Series, we can offer incredible fidelity and accuracy at prices that fit into even more conservative budgets," remarks Rundle.
Equipped with versatile Acoustic Space Control and HF filters, MR monitors can be easily optimized to ensure a flat response on any environment. There are three different acoustic space settings that adjust for monitor placements close to walls, in corners, etc. Plus, the high-frequency EQ control allows for further adjustment to ensure an accurate response for the room. Included with each monitor is an acoustic isolation pad that decouples the monitor from the desk or stand for increased performance and accuracy.
Featuring newly designed drivers, the MR Series monitors benefit from robust polypropylene woofers and 1" silk dome tweeters with neodymium magnets. Using Class A/B biamplification in the monitors and 120 Watts of Class D for the MRS10 subwoofer, rated power output (1 kHz with 1% THD) is 50 Watts for the smaller MR524 model, 65 Watts for the MR624, and 85 Watts on the larger 8" MR824 model. All monitors have three input options, with TRS 1/4 inch input (balanced/unbalanced), XLR input (balanced), and RCA unbalanced inputs. The MRS10 Studio Subwoofer features an eco-friendly auto turn-off / turn-on “Auto Power" option, detecting the presence or absence of an input signal.
"With more and more people turning their bedrooms and garages into studios, it is important to have monitors that can adapt," Rundle concluded. "When you dial in your monitors with the Acoustic Space Control, you can mix with confidence knowing that there won't be any deceiving boosts or cuts across the frequency spectrum."
