High Resolution Active Studio Monitor for Accurate Mixing
The Mackie HR824mk2 is an 8-inch, two-way active studio monitor designed to deliver accurate, full-range sound for professional mixing, mastering, and post-production work. Built for stereo and surround applications, this monitor provides detailed audio reproduction that helps engineers make confident mix decisions across music, film, broadcast, and game audio projects.
THX PM3 Certified for Professional Audio Production
This studio monitor carries THX PM3 certification, making it suitable for high-definition audio environments where precision matters. The certification ensures consistent performance for surround mixing and critical listening, allowing the HR824mk2 to integrate smoothly into professional studios focused on accurate translation across playback systems.
Powerful Two Way Design with Extended Bass Response
The HR824mk2 features an 8.75-inch low-distortion woofer paired with a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter to deliver a balanced frequency response with clear highs and controlled lows. An elliptical passive radiator extends low-frequency performance without the need for a port, producing tight, defined bass that remains accurate even at higher listening levels.
Built In Amplification with Clean Headroom
Internal Class-AB amplification provides a combined total of 250 watts of RMS power, driving both the woofer and tweeter with dedicated amplifiers. This active design ensures consistent performance, improved transient response, and reliable headroom for demanding mixing sessions without external power amps.
Advanced Cabinet Design for Precise Imaging
The cast-aluminum Zero Edge Baffle minimizes diffraction for improved stereo imaging and clarity. An optimized waveguide creates a wide listening sweet spot, while internal cabinet damping and bracing help eliminate midrange coloration and unwanted resonances. The wood cabinet design supports both sonic accuracy and long-term durability.
Flexible Room Tuning and Connection Options
Rear-panel controls allow adjustment of low and high frequencies, sensitivity, and acoustic space settings to match different room sizes and monitor placements. Balanced XLR and TRS inputs, along with unbalanced RCA connections, provide compatibility with a wide range of audio interfaces, mixers, and production equipment. OmniMount compatibility allows wall or ceiling installation when needed.
Included Production Software for Studio Workflows
The HR824mk2 includes access to professional recording software and a collection of audio plug-ins designed for music production and mixing workflows. These tools support users getting started with recording and editing while complementing the monitor’s role in a complete studio setup.
