MACKIE ANNOUNCES NEW MR SERIES POWERED STUDIO MONITORS
Mackie has announced a complete refresh of its popular, powered studio monitors – MR Series Powered Studio
Monitors. Designed for home studios, content creators and multimedia, the MR Series is available in the 5”
MR524, 6.5” MR624, and the 8” MR824 plus the 10” MRS10 companion powered subwoofer. The MR Series aims to
deliver unmatched performance and superior mix translation so artists, producers, and content creators can
listen with confidence knowing that their mix will sound great anywhere.
“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. “These new MR monitors take
everything you know and love about MR to the next level.”
The MR Series features 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 reportedly delivers an honest, accurate representation of the mix, so users can count
on their projects to always sound the way they intended.
“With MR, we saw an opportunity to really take advantage of some of our best studio monitor technology,”
remarks Rundle. “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.”
Equipped with versatile Acoustic Space Control and HF filters, MR monitors can be easily optimized for
environments to ensure a flat response. 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 your room. Included with each monitor is an
acoustic isolation pad that decouples the monitor from the desk or stand for increased performance
and accuracy.
“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.”
