The Mackie mr5 monitor speakers are less costly that the other products on Mackie’s line of audio monitors. These speakers are intended for compact situations like a home studio or computer speakers. Its magnetic shielding makes it possible to stand beside CRT monitors. This two-way speakers have a tweeter waveguide built into it to control sound dispersion and an array of acoustic controls located on the rear panel that lets you tweak the response according to your location. There is a slide switch to adjust the +/-2dB where you can set the low end to flat, +2dB or +4dB.
To minimize diffraction, the baffle elements that surround the drivers are smooth. The drivers are powered by Class-A/B MOSFET amplifiers that include active protection circuits delivering 55W to the woofer and 30W to the tweeter. You also get over 50 percent of extra power for short peaks. There is a 24dB-per-octave crossover that operates at 4kHz plus an overall frequency response of 60Hz to 20kHz (+/-3dB). You also have adequate level for listening in nearfield environments.
The rear panels are made of steel offering both balanced and unbalanced inputs. It holds the rear port that helps shield users from vent noise when bass power is coming out heavily. This model uses an L-shaped port that has a slotted mouth with a slight flare to minimize port noise. If you tuck the port round the back though, you cant push the monitors up the wall. The monitors are fitted with balanced XLR, TRS as well as unbalanced RCA inputs. There is a rotary level cotrol and the mains comes in through and IEC socket that is adjacent to the power switch.
