The Industry Standard Active Studio Monitor
Released in 1996, the Mackie HR824 High Resolution Studio Monitor redefined what the marketplace looks for in a studio reference
monitor. One of the most loved and trusted near-field monitors of all time, the HR824 is found in countless professional
studios—thanks to its clarity, broad stereo imaging, ruler-flat response, and extended low-frequency range versus other studio
monitors. With such astonishing sound quality, there is little wonder why the HR824 was approved for THX compliance on its initial trial.
Mackie Active technology makes the HR824 possible. Onboard FR (Fast Recovery) amplifiers provide 150 watts to the 8.75” German-engineered MF/LF driver (aka the “woofer”) and 100 watts to
the waveguide-loaded HF driver (aka the “tweeter”). The result is a smooth, accurate transition from lows to highs, with an ample 100dB SPL@1 meter output. Frequency response is verifiably flat from
39Hz-20kHz, with a 3dB down point at 37Hz. With extremely even dispersion for a wide "sweet spot" and user-adjustable controls for a variety of acoustic spaces, the HR824 is not only the choice of
hundreds of professional studios, they can also be found in the tour buses and home studios of many top recording artists.
A TRUE ACTIVE DESIGN
Several years ago, many manufacturers started using “Active” interchangeably with “Powered” in describing their studio monitors.
But make no mistake; a true “Active” design means that a studio monitor contains separate onboard amplifiers for each driver, plus
onboard Active crossovers (which eliminates the need for external processing and eliminates phase anomalies), and time-correction
circuitry, so the highs and lows reach the listener at the same time. You can trust this internal amplification and processing to
push HR824 speakers to the “max” without any danger of pushing them beyond their limits—as well as bring you the sound quality that our engineers intended in all instances.
WAVEGUIDE-LOADED TWEETER
Move off-axis with passive monitors (and most powered monitors, for that matter) and you will experience prominent midrange and high frequency dispersion problems. In contrast, the HR824's
waveguide-loaded tweeter greatly improves both vertical and horizontal coverage, and allows us to match the high-frequency polar
pattern to that of the bass transducer (the "woofer") for seamless midrange transition. Thanks to the computer-assisted design of the
logarithmic waveguide the HR824's high-frequency imaging is stunningly accurate, delivering a much broader sweet spot than almost any other monitor on the market today.
EXTENDED LOW-FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The HR824's extended low frequency response is achieved, in part, by a mass-loaded 6"x9" honeycomb passive radiator that fires out the
rear of the enclosure. This passive radiator works in concert with the high-precision, German-designed LF driver to deliver extended
low-end response without resorting to a "ported cabinet" design. How does it work? Servo-feedback circuitry monitors the LF transducer's
motional parameters and applies appropriate control and damping using the passive radiator. This constant correction produces tight,
articulate bass without the tubbiness, distortion or overhang common among most small monitors.
TREMENDOUS VALUE
It's worth mentioning that, although HR824s deliver uncompromising performance on par with anything on the market, they aren't nearly
as expensive as some of those esoteric, boutique studio monitors out there. Thanks to our advanced manufacturing techniques, the 824's
deliver "high-end" performance without the high-end price. And versus passive monitors, which require external power amplifiers,
crossovers, and equalization, HR824s stand as an exceptional value. Just bring your favorite CD* to a nearby dealer and compare them
side-by-side with the competition.
