  • Enhanced waveguide system delivers unmatched clarity and openness The sound is terrific, and no rumble in the deep tones.3
  • Enhanced waveguide system delivers unmatched clarity and openness The sound is terrific, and no rumble in the deep tones.3
  • They worked great as a PA system for my pep talk/ thank you speech I gave them
  • I then hooked them up to my home theater and they are a ridiculous upgrade from my Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System front speakers.

Reviews around mackie (5.00 of 5)

  • This Mackie has excellent sound and actually worked rather well with my existing set up.
  • Mackie has a rock-solid reputation, and they have designed some great entry-level speakers here for the home DAWer
  • If you like the sound of a really deep extended bass, you could add Mackie's companion MR10Smk3 studio subwoofer for a really powerful deep bass, but I find this bass sound so deep, it's not at all necessary
  • The Mackie is a little more base heavy than the JBLs which is both good and bad, but since it does not muddy the sound it is mostly a positive.

Reviews around output (5.00 of 5)

  • It's a bit taller only because of the front porting which gives you a solid, tight bass output and no annoyingly bright green light up front to distract you from your audio mixing especially in a close and dark environment
  • I'm very impressed with the clean output and little static that you can hardly discern
  • Like I earlier said, sound output is clear especially on the high

Reviews around audio (5.00 of 5)

  • I use mine in my tiny production room at the public radio station where I work and get quite a lot of clear, crisp audio from it, but only because I have the proper board and wiring to pull that sound... and, even still, it's a monitor, not a surround setup
  • it's crisp sonic quality and clean audio output
  • I use shure, ortofon, grado, audio-technica, grace, denon, vestax, and micro-acustic phono cartridges.

Reviews around studio (5.00 of 5)

  • I will never use computer speakers again, as there is a tremendous difference with a good studio monitor, which produces a full, rich sound without a sub woofer
  • Buying a decent studio amp was going to be almost as much as buying a set of powered real studio monitors, so I decided to just upgrade to legit monitors.
  • Being a bit of an audiophile, I quickly realized how much better studio monitors are for entertainment over gimmicky PC speakers or home theater setups

Reviews around input (4.03 of 5)

  • The fact that these are self powered means that even the most lowly input source will sound great.
  • There are flexible inputs for simple connections to almost any audio source

Reviews around monitor (3.86 of 5)

  • This was the biggest problem with these speakers, I could live with the subtle low end response, but I could live with harsh sounding monitors that would give me a headache after a couple of hours
  • With TRS and XLR jacks, this monitor isn't recommended for the general consumer, but for audio professionals and hobbyists only
  • I will never use computer speakers again, as there is a tremendous difference with a good studio monitor, which produces a full, rich sound without a sub woofer
  • The monitors sound great being feed from my Schiit stack.
  • This is a solid 5 Star studio monitor whose seamless transition from high to low frequencies give you a crystal clear true sound.

Reviews around speaker (3.50 of 5)

  • Granted they are larger than some nice stereo speakers or computer
  • Mackie has a rock-solid reputation, and they have designed some great entry-level speakers here for the home DAWer
  • The price point seems high (keep in mind the price is for one speaker) but anyone who knows about sound will tell you it that you are better off spending more for a set of good speakers even with a simple audio player.
  • Here are four pairs of studio monitor headphones, all from Audio-Technica, that I recommend you get if you're can't quite afford the speakers above (or just need an alternative due to your office or roommate situation)
  • If you appreciate sound quality then these are a great buy but if you cant really hear the difference then a lot of cheaper speakers setups will provide decent sound for a lot less money
