General

If you're setting up a mixing studio, it's essential to have the right gear for the job. Mackie offers this pair of MR524 monitors and MRS10 subwoofer that can get as low as 30 Hz, which is sufficient for a full-range mix. It's an ideal configuration for orchestra recordings, game and film scores and EDM music. Setting up is easy - simply plug the XLR or jack cables (balanced or unbalanced, not included) from your mixer or audio interface into the sub, and hook the cables from the sub up to the monitors. Using the included foot pedal, you can bypass the sub if desired.

Tips or comments about this product
  • Please note: this set does not include audio cables (XLR, jack). You will need four: 2 from the mixer or audio interface to the sub, and 2 from the sub to the monitors. Where you plan to place the sub and the monitors will determine how long the cables need to be. It's better to have cables that are a metre too long than a metre too short!

Great sounding Monitor Speakers. No Hiss, great Bass. Sound great at both low volume and loud volume. Very happy with these. Went through 3 different sets of monitor speakers before buying these. But due to the audible hiss off other brands became quite annoyed thinking all monitor speakers hiss. This is not the case. And these are the answer. Not too expensive either.

Mackie MR524 Active Studio Monitor (Single Unit)

Wrote the following about Mackie MR524 Active Studio Monitor (Single Unit)
I would call this one a little less neutral then other monitors tested. It has quite some potent bass level and overall quality feel I would call just ok'ish. In one of them was a card for a software long gone and no longer available. (Stopped in 2021). Biggest gripe I had was a rather limited dynamic range (and that I suspect being attributed to class D amplification). Up to a certain level these sound nice. But they swing quite fast into amp saturation (even in midtone range) where things get a bit nasty. Also one had a bit of rattlign noise from the plastc baffle thus my question about quality control. They are ok in general but for the price you might want to look a little further.

De Mackie monitoren MR 524 werden snel en goed verpakt geleverd.
M'n PCM's waren naar de huiskamer verhuisd. Ik miste toch goede afluistering buiten de koptelefoon om.
Deze Mackie's geven een meer dan voldoende resultaat om een goede mix te maken tussen setnoise, muziek en een voice over of geinterviewde stem voor de video edit. Goed product voor een scherpe prijs.

Als eerste weer mijn complimenten voor de snelle levering en service van Bax.

Na 12 jaar waren mijn KRK Rokits aan vervanging toe. Ook een uitstekend merk. Ik was verbaasd over de strakheid van mijn nieuwe Mackies. Okee de KRK’s hadden een 8 inch speaker die nu in mijn laatste kleinere studio misschien wat te heftig waren.

Lage tonen stuiteren alle kanten op dus met zekerheid kan ik de vergelijking niet maken, maar de Mackies (5 inch) klinken minder modderig.
Bij het beluisteren van 1 van mijn Trance tracks hoorde ik meteen afmix problemen die ik had gemist.
Muziek maken is een hobby voor me en ik vond het erg cool dat Armada’s University mijn track had beoordeeld met een paar zessen en een zeven. Hun gaven mij advies over de mix.

Met de Mackies begreep ik dit beter en ben erg tevreden over de monitors. En dat nu voor 118€ per stuk is echt een goeie deal.

Ik snap natuurlijk dat het hebben van meerdere monitors je nog wijzer kunnen maken bij het afmixen maar deze set is echt prima. Daarbij gebruik ik Nx plugins van Waves erbij, de virtuele monitors voor nog meer vergelijkingen in de mix.

Deze monitoren klinken superstrak, mooi stereobeeld en lekkere bas. Ze zien er mooi uit en voelen zeer degelijk aan. Het hoog is prettig en eventueel bij te stellen achterop de monitors. Voor deze prijs denk ik dat er niets beters te krijgen is. Na veel luistertests voor deze monitors gekozen en ik heb er absoluut geen spijt van. En totaal geen his of gesis; superstil.

De Mackie MR524 actieve studiomonitoren zijn echt de perfecte monitoren in de radiostudio. Ze hebben een compact uiterlijk maar met een zeer volwassen geluid. In vergelijking met soort gelijke studiomonitoren beveel ik deze absoluut aan.
