User questions & answers

Question:	how do these connect to a speaker? do u need to buy separate wires and stuff
Answer:	It comes with RCA cables. But a lot depends on what equipment you’d like to hook up. Do you have an interface, are you just using a laptop, and what speakers are you planning to connect to it. The subwoofer has a crossover and depending on what you like to connect to it you will need the cables to make those connections.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you leave the back on/off switch on all the time, using the volume knob to turn off and on
Answer:	I have the speakers in my bedroom and measured the power consumption. The speakers consumes around 11-12 Watt while it's sitting in idle. The back side panel gets a little hot because of this power consumption. The front switch (volume knob) does not disconnect the power, judging by the back panel temperature. Only the back panel switch can truly disconnect power. A paranoia person wouldn't want to leave it on as it may take the worst possible path as components age. Now about the idling power consumption - it can be justified by a class A amplifier, which is supposedly providing better sound quality.
Question:	Hello, what's in the box
Answer:	two speakers, AC cable, RCA cable, 1/8"to RCA, interconnect zipline.two 1/8" input output holes on the front, with the volume control.
Question:	The description says the dimensions are 8.5 x 15.3 x 11.5 inches, but for 3" speakers that would not match the image. What are the real dimesions
Answer:	The actual round speaker that the sound comes from is 3 inches, but the entire cabinet (the entire black box) are the dimensions you listed
Question:	I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but can these be used with a subwoofer
Answer:	Absolutely. This is how connecting the Mackie's and a Polk PSW10 to a computer worked for me:1) Mini Jack into PC audio Card for surround speakers. (1 of 5 inputs) This used a mini jack to RCA cable which was included withe the speakers.2) Mini Jack into PC audio Card for Subwoofer. (1 of 5 inputs) This used a mini jack to RCA cable.* NOTE: If a person's computer only has one audio out, they simply use a splitter to make two audio outs.3) Set Computer Audio software for 2.1 Sound (Oddly, my software required setting to 5.1 with rear speakers off).4) Set Subwoofer volume knob to 1/2-3/4. Set the crossover to ~80-90Hz.5) Play music or a movie and set the monitor volume for a desired match with the Sub.Now that the sub and monitors match volume, don't touch the volume knob on the sub or the monitors. Just use your computer to adjust volume up/down. The sub has a sensor which will turn itself on/off. One monitor has a switch on the back to turn the pair on/off.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the signal-to-noise (snr) ratio? i can't find it posted anywhere
Answer:	don't know, bit speakers do sound good ..
Question:	Do i have a defective pair or all the mackir mr series "pop" when turning on or off
Answer:	Pops usually occur when there is signal going through the inputs. Your best bet is to turn down the signal all the way off going into the speaker. I would also look into how the speakers are plugged into the power source, make sure its grounded.
Question:	Anybody heard these to compare them with krk rockits? i have a 10s sub and 6in monitors i'm looking to maybe replace with these
Answer:	Don't know about the krk rockits, but I've used mackies pretty much my entire career, 450's as a mobile DJ, and now these as my home studio monitors. The beauty of Mackie is the richness of the highs, and the fullness of the bass in their equipment. Hope it helps.
Question:	is this for a pair

The studio monitor inspired by you – MR524 Powered Studio Monitors.

Accurate Mix Translation

When you mix your project in the studio, you rely on your monitors to present a faithful reproduction of your work. The more accurate your monitors are, the better your mix will 'translate' to other listening environments and formats. This means that if it sounds great in the studio, you can count on it sounding great everywhere else. MR Series monitors are designed to do just that.

Logarithmic Waveguide

Our proven logarithmic waveguide provides an ultra-wide listening sweet spot and enhanced stereo imaging for increased clarity and consistent sound over a wide area of the room. Precise acoustic alignment offers incredibly balanced sound across the entire frequency spectrum.

Acoustic Space Control

The superior acoustic design and accuracy of a monitor are meaningless if they aren't optimized for the room they are in. Equipped with our versatile Acoustic Space Control and HF filters, MR monitors can be easily optimized for your environment to ensure a flat response.

MRS10 Studio Subwoofer

When your music has some serious low-end, the shelf-ported MRS10 provides the deep, extended response you need to experience everything in your mix to its fullest potential. With a built-in variable crossover, you can dial it in to match your monitors perfectly, and if you want to hear your mix without it, simply bypass the subwoofer and built-in crossover with the included footswitch.

Overview

Mackie XR Series monitors deliver the performance and accuracy that modern, professional studios rely on. Featuring a logarithmic waveguide, XR provides acoustic alignment for a perfect balance between articulate highs and midrange clarity.

Deep. Accurate. Bass.

With the tight response of a Kevlar woofer and new ELP Bass Reflex System, you can count on precise, deep low end. Plus, each XR Series monitor includes a custom acoustic isolation pad in the box to help keep the bass projecting forward and not into your desk.

Optimized For YOUR Workspace

Since no two rooms are the same, adjustable acoustic space filters provide sonic optimization for your specific mix environment. Whether your studio is world-class or home project, XR monitors bring you closer to your mix than ever before.

Logarithmic Waveguide

The XR logarithmic waveguide matches the high-frequency dispersion pattern to that of the woofer for a seamless midrange transition. It also recesses the tweeter so that its active area is on the same axis with the woofer, providing acoustic alignment of high and low frequencies for the perfect balance between articulate highs and midrange clarity.

ELP Bass Reflex System

The ELP Bass Reflex System utilizes an extended length, internally curved design and an elliptical, zero-turbulence exit providing extended low frequency response and greatly increased output capability. This design enables you to hear all the deep low end in every mix, even at high volumes without any "air noise" that plagues typical ports.

Kevlar Woofer

XR series monitors are equipped with an extremely rigid, ultra-low distortion Kevlar woofer which maintains its shape even under a high amount of stress. This provides fast recovery from transients and incredibly accurate, detailed low-end compared to typical woofer types.

Acoustic Space Filters

XR monitors are easily adaptable to suit your mixing environment to ensure a flat frequency response with three adjustable filters.

Acoustic Space - Changes overall response to match most configurations.

HF filter - Helps match the monitor your particular room.

LF filter - Rolls off the low-end to simulate smaller desktop speakers.
