The high-resolution HR824mk2 Active studio reference monitors have a sleek design and produce smooth sound. The Zero Edge Baffle technology reduces diffraction and ensures a clear and precise audio image with wide sound dispersion. These monitors provide uniform response and tight bass extension, creating a sweet spot that covers the entire studio.
The Mackie HR824 MK2 is designed for professional music/video applications, making it ideal for mixing and mastering. It builds on the success of the original HR series from Mackie and incorporates modern innovations to prioritize audio accuracy. These monitors accurately reproduce every detail in your sound, making them perfect for music production. They are also THX pm3 approved, making them suitable for home theaters and gaming systems, as well as post-production in video.
The bi-amplified design of the HR824 MK2 features separate amplifiers for each driver. The active crossovers and time-correction circuitry ensure optimal audio performance. The monitor consists of an 8.75-inch low-distortion woofer and a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter, working together to deliver powerful sound. Built-in protection circuitry protects the monitor from input overload, ensuring durability. The unique cabinet design minimizes internal reflections and standing waves for improved transients.
The HR824 MK2 features an aluminum Zero Edge Baffle, which minimizes diffraction for a crystal-clear audio image. The precise curvature of the baffle helps control sound waves, resulting in defined frequency bands and a powerful low-end, articulate mids, and sparkling highs. The integrated passive radiator replaces the bass-reflex port and delivers unparalleled bass response with minimal distortion at high sound pressure levels.
The monitor’s design allows for versatile positioning, with the option to use it vertically or horizontally. The rotatable logo ensures that the logo is always in the correct orientation. The wooden cabinet is designed with custom internal bracing for added strength and durability. It also absorbs internal reflections using an open-cell adiabatic foam material. A power indicator LED light indicates the levels, turning from white to red when pushed too far. The rear of the monitor features crossover switches for Acoustic Space, Low Frequency, and High Frequency, as well as a power mode switch. It also includes headphone, XLR, and RCA connections.
Reviews praise the HR824 MK2’s ability to bring vocals to life and produce deep bass with the passive radiator. The monitor is highly recommended for fans of the original HR series.
