MR524 5.25" 65 W Active Channel Studio Woofer Monitor Wired (Black)

So I got my 2 speakers and one of them was actually slightly defected. Amazon was quick to send me a replacement. The speakers sound absolutely amazing. Though they lack that big low end, I was not expecting that from 5inch speakers. Good speakers. Good service from Amazon! Thank you

After listening to Behringer, Yamaha & Mackie it self for some time in the past(different models), when I bought this, i read quite a lot about it - there are not many reviews (due to it being a new product?) - my expectations were low due to the speaker size... But I was simply blown away when I listened to some wave files (earlier transferred from a DAT player) the sound is pristine - almost flat frequency response & lows are controlled & reasonably tight even at the loudest. The looks are pro and stereo imaging is just right. the room (or acoustic space control works perfectly) So if you are looking at ROI (value for each rupee you spend) this is the most appropriate close field monitor to go for - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

As a monitor, this is an excellent option for the price. Very clean and balanced sound and it brings out subtle nuances in a good mix. However, I have the sub woofer from my old multimedia speakers to supplement this since for gaming or listening to music in general you still need that extra thump. Also, handles guitars and bass monitoring pretty well.

Hi i ordered 2 speakers one is suddenly not power on. I try to change the fuse but the same problem. Pls suggest how can i clam the warrenty ?

Absolutely satisfied with these monitors at this price range. If heavy bass is required , get the bigger ones or add a sub .

Good

See Z Reviews.....

Sound is not bad. The build quality is substandard to say the least. I had a switch broken the first time I used it.

I had the previous lineup and those are a bit more compact, I like this size better. They look and sound amazing.

Llevo un año y medio usando estos monitores, y han sido excelentes tanto para monitorear como para disfrutar música. Inicialmente, los elegí para escuchar música en alta fidelidad, pero con el tiempo, por azares del destino, me adentré en la producción musical y confirmé que fue una compra acertada. En aquel entonces, consideré comprar unos parlantes Hi-Fi activos, pero después de comparar varias opciones, estos me sorprendieron por su sonido mucho más limpio. Incluso tuve la oportunidad de probarlos en una tienda de música y compararlos con otros monitores, entre ellos los Adam T5V. Ambos suenan bastante similares, con los Adam destacando un poco más en los agudos y los Mackie sobresaliendo en los medios (aunque la diferencia es sutil). Al final, opté por los Mackie debido a su tamaño más compacto en profundidad. Su punto fuerte son las voces, que suenan naturales y bien definidas, además de su neutralidad que pese a ello para nada es un sonido aburrido. Los agudos tienen cuerpo, naturalidad y detalle excepcionales, algo que no encontré en los parlantes Hi-Fi activos que probé cuyos agudos me parecieron algo antinaturales y un poco delgados, Edifier (S2000MkIII), Klipsch (R-51PM), Audioengine (A5) y Kanto (YU6). Estos monitores mackie ofrecen un rendimiento sobresaliente a un costo accesible, además de una excelente calidad de construcción. Sin duda, los volvería a comprar.

Son de muy buen tamaño para un estudio casero. El sonido es muy nítido, equilibrado y las puedes calibrar a tu espacio. El precio me pareció un poco alto pero valió la pena.

I love them. They are a great pair for a home studio.

I use my PC mostly for sequencing/arranging on keyboards, sometimes editing digital audio, sometimes I just want to listen to awesome music that I can just turn up and just about bathe in. I used 2 Alesis M1Active 520 Powered Monitors and absolutely LOVED THEM, until after 10 years of making incredible sound, I'd turn them on, and over the past year they would start making random white noise - it kinda sounded like thunder the way it would creep in. I needed something comparable, and Alesis has discontinued them since, and aren't selling anything similar in terms of size, output and price range. I felt like I was taking a risk with these Mackie MR524's. There very few reviews on line (newly released product?), but the price was right ($119 ea at the time), and the specs seemed just a tad nicer than the Alesis units. I have to say I am a little more satisfied with these than the Alesis monitors. The frequency response is very even, there's no noticeable resonance, their volume is pretty strong, and they have some controls to adjust some of the tweeter/woofer gains. The LED isn't terribly flashy, which is a good thing. It's a single green light on the front (which maybe turns red when it clips? I haven't experieced that yet). They sound pretty great: The highs are crisp, the lows are full-sounding, but everything is very well balanced. If you are one who likes loud thumping bass in your music, look elsewhere, these are not designed for that, but as a reference monitor, they are top-notch. There is also no residual noise like the Alesis units had. That may be because those units were old, but it's almost weired, you can't even tell they are on. My one complaint is, and you should take note of this if it's an issue for you, the power switch is located on the back in a non-intuitive location. Alesis put theirs conveniently on the top surface of the unit, but these have a switch in the back. It's not worth taking a star off for that, but I didn't realize this when I bought them, just a pain to reach behind them to power them on or off. These Mackie MR524s are great, and I am very happy with this purchase.
