MR8mk2
MR8mk2
Introduction
• In addition, the ampliers’ gain and frequency
responses are individually hand-trimmed to
compensate for typical manufacturing tolerances
between the drivers and produce a smooth
frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz.
• The connecting wires between the amplier outputs
and the drivers are kept to an absolute minimum,
so the damping factor of the amplifier isn’t
compromised by the resistance of long speaker
cables.
• The acoustic sum of the outputs from the two
drivers are optimized electronically, as well as
physically, so the amplitude response is unity and
the phase difference is minimal.
In short, all the complex interconnected components
in the system are designed to work in harmony with
each other to produce the best possible sound.
All-New Transducers...
The MR8mk2s feature an 8-inch high-precision, low-
distortion woofer and a 1-inch neodymium silk dome
tweeter.
The high-frequency driver is mounted on a molded
baffle/waveguide, which reduces diffraction and results
in wide, controlled
dispersion of high-frequency sounds.
This widens the “sweet spot” and improves the time
domain characteristics of the system.
Precision Power Ampliers...
The low-frequency amplifier produces up to 55 watts
continuous before clipping, while the high-frequency
amplifier produces up to 30 watts continuous. Both
amplifiers are Class A/B with power MOSFET outputs
and active protection circuits.
Cabinet Design...
The cabinet is made of MDF with a textured matte-
black finish. Internal bracing increases the strength and
rigidity of the box. An open-cell adiabatic foam material
fills the inside of the box to absorb internal reflections
and dampen standing waves.
The MR8mk2 Mackie Reference Monitor is the perfect
solution for those ready to step up to a truly professional,
high-output monitoring system
. The completely
re-voiced MR8mk2 features all-new high-end drivers,
delivering unmatched low frequency extension and
clear, articulate highs. The MR8mk2’s precision Class
A/B amplification (100W LF / 50W HF) offers
class-leading power, tons of connection options and
simple acoustic controls for room correction. Featuring
an optimally sized custom waveguide and
minimum-diffraction molded baffle, the MR8mk2
delivers superior stereo imaging and depth. With
unbelievable power, performance and clarity, the
MR8mk2 stands alone in its class.
Investments in Excellence...
The MR8mk2s were designed by our expert
loudspeaker and transducer engineering teams at
Mackie and EAW. These compact studio monitors can be
used in a variety of applications, including small project
studios, surround sound editing, home theater playback,
and desktop audio workstations (DAWs).
High-frequency and low-frequency switches are
provided on the rear panel to adjust the sound of the
monitors to the characteristics of the room. Three types
of input connectors are provided (XLR, 1/4-inch, and
RCA), to interface with virtually any application you
may have.
The result? The MR8mk2 Studio Monitors are extremely
accurate and versatile, with unique controls that allow
you to fine-tune the sound to match your individual
environment precisely. You’re gonna love these!
What are they? The Advantages...
The MR8mk2 Studio Monitors are
two-way,
bi-amplified, active monitors employing a bass reflex
(ported) design for an extended low-frequency
response. There are many benefits to integrating an
active crossover, power amplifiers, and drivers into a
single cabinet, and we’ve taken full advantage of these
benefits in the design of the MR8mk2.
•
The crossover point is designed so that the high- and
low-frequency drivers are fed only the frequencies
they are best able to reproduce.
• The ampliers are designed to provide maximum
acoustic output from the speakers, yet minimize
the danger of speaker damage due to overdriving.
