When the original HR-series speakers were released back in the 90's, Mackie set a new standard for studio-quality reference monitors. Their high power-rating, ruler-flat frequency response, and precise sound reproduction gave engineers and producers a whole new level of mixing accuracy. In this decade, the HR824MKII surpasses its predecessor with even better sound quality and a sleek new design. Truly active amplification Some studio monitors are passive, requiring external amplification, and some are internally powered, but HR824MKII monitors are actively powered. While all active monitors are internally powered, not all powered monitors are active. Truly active monitors contain individual power amplifiers for each driver in the enclosure, where other powered monitors use a single amp for all drivers. Specially matched power Since it takes much less power to drive a high-frequency tweeter at high volume than a low-frequency woofer, single-amplifier monitors tend to sound unbalanced. When the tweeter is producing comfortable highs, the woofer is probably underpowered. Crank up the volume to get more bass, and you're pushing the highs too hard. There may be applications where you can get away with this, but accurate mixing isn't one of them. As one of the few speaker manufacturers that also build their own amps, Mackie is in a unique position to tightly match the power with the driver. HR824MKII's contain two FR-series amps, specifically rated to push each speaker to its optimum performance level. You'll have plenty of headroom across the entire frequency spectrum for a detailed mix at any volume. Specs:
