Mackie HR824 Active Studio Reference Monitor
January 29, 1998
Mackie Designs announces successful shipment of the new HR SeriesTM HR824 High-Resolution Active Studio Reference Monitor. The highly acclaimed HR824 is one of the most accurate near-field monitors available today for critical professional audio applications. The HR824 is a compact design with power response so flat that it serves as a completely neutral conductor for any audio signal. An excellent choice for professional recording studios, video, audio and post production suites, project recording rooms and any environment where critical listening is a stringent requirement.
The HR824 features an extremely wide "sweet spot" enabling the listener to receive an accurate stereo image without the need for sitting directly in front of the monitors. This allows the user to work in a larger studio area and still trust that he or she is hearing true stereo imaging and placement.
The high resolution HR824 uses a mass-loaded, resistivity-damped, 6th-order system design employing an 8.75" driver and a mass-loaded passive driver (rear) powered by its own internal active biamplification. The result is a dynamically extended bass response.
Here are a few of the Mackie HR824 specifications*:
- Low Frequency driver: 8.75" mineral filled, polypropylene cone
- High Frequency Driver: 1" aluminum dome
(damped edge amped metal alloy dome operates as a true piston to 22kHz)
