The MR8 from Mackie provides professional-quality sound at an incredibly affordable price. This active nearfield monitor is ideal for stereo or surround sound applications for professional or project studios. The rugged cabinet houses an 8" steel-frame woofer and a waveguide-loaded 1" tweeter to provide a full frequency response. Class A/B amplifiers provide a total of 150W of power for a strong performance.
A precisely-molded minimum-diffraction baffle allows sound to travel smoothly in a wide dispersion pattern. This provides a wide sweet spot for accurate mixing. The MDF cabinet features a rear bass port designed to deliver strong bass without vent noise, distortion, or pressure.
The rear panel of the monitor offers XLR, TRS, and RCA connectors so you can connect to virtually any system you encounter. High and low frequency filters and an input level control are also provided for fine-tuning your sound. The monitor is also magnetically shielded for safe use near video monitors.
