I've never tried them, but I found a review: "Makie brings their reputation for high-quality, well-constructed, and reasonably priced products to the monitor market with their HR studio monitor series. The HR824 was designed to give the listener a 100% flat/neutral sound with a wide frequency response. What does this mean? For starters the HR824's don't color your sound, what you hear is exactly what's coming out of your mixing board or computer. The wide frequency response means for example, you'll be able to clearly identify every nuance of a bass note as opposed to just hearing a muffled boom which is the case with most low-cost studio monitors. Both of these features allow the user to gain a more realistic idea of how their music will sound on other systems, a crucial factor in getting the "right" mix. Unlike most monitors in this price range the 824?s are THX certified. THX certification is a spec level developed by George Lucas to insure sound quality. As with all active monitors, the built-in amplifiers were specifically designed to maximize the speakers output. Mackie invests a lot in the design and engineering of their products and the HR824's are no exception. You can be sure you are getting a high-quality professional product at a reasonable price. Proof of which can be seen in the extraordinarily large number of engineers and studios that have incorporated the HR824's into their mix since they were introduced. Highly Recommended. ? Active self powered (you can plug these directly into your mixer without an amp) ? Video shielded (you can place these near computer screens) ? 1" Tweeter, 8.75" Woofer ? 100 watt HF, 150 watt LF output * Flat frequency response (±1.5dB, 39Hz to 20 kHz) ? Balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS, and unbalanced RCA inputs ? Measures 10.5" x 15.75" x 12.2"" |

I reckon you should buy some cheap gigging speakers. If you don't want it to be "nightclub loud" (you probably don't, I don't know of any 3kw studio monitors ;-) then you can use reasonably cheap speakers. Not only do you want to not have to dismantle your studio all the time for playing out, but you don't want to take studio speakers out on the road in case you damage them from turning it up to loud (you may well do trying to get hose sort of volumes), spilling drink on it etc. |
