The Mackie MR524 5" Powered Studio Monitor Singleis a powered 5" 2-way reference speaker that is designed for mixing and monitoring in your home or project studio. It features a logarithmic waveguide system that aims to minimize reflections and diffractions for a wider sweet spot, plus a custom-tuned rear port to help ensure an even bass response.

The MR524 is equipped with matched amps and drivers for an optimized 50W Class-AB biamplified system. The speaker can also be optimized to your mixing environment with the adjustable acoustic space filters designed to maintain a flat response in typical placement configurations. Additionally, a high-frequency filter applies a boost or cut to compensate for particularly bright- or dull-sounding rooms.

The MR524 has been designed with flexibility in mind, featuring XLR, TRS and RCA monitor inputs. The speaker has been housed in an all-wood cabinet that has been treated with acoustic absorption material for a tighter response. Additionally, the MRS10 studio subwoofer can be added for a more powerful, extended low end.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the measurements ?

A: 6.7 x 11.2 x 8.7" (170 x 285 x 222 mm)

Q: 2. Can you use these with a regular LED flat screen tv for watching movies, etc?

A: Yes, I use these monitors connected to my LED TV. You will need the right cable to connect: RCA on one end and 1/4 on the other. I prefer real studio monitors like this for connecting to my TV over home theater speakers.

Q: 3. Are you able to wall mount them?

A: This Yamaha wall mount would hold them https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/219160-REG/Yamaha_BWS20_190_BWS20_190_Wall_Mounts.html

Q: 4. Do the transformer that power the class a/b amp hum?

A: No, the power transformer in the Mackie MR624 Powered Studio Monitor should not create hum.

Q: 5. How can I connect this pair to my base unit?

A: If you have a subwoofer with stereo inputs and outputs, then you could connect this system to your sub.

Q: 6. What size speaker isolation pad fits this speaker best? It looks like the Small Size Auray will just fit it...but should there be some extra wiggle room?

A: We recommend the Auray IP-M Isolation Pad for Studio Monitor size Medium.

Q: 7. Ok, silly question...where to I connect my red and black speaker wire from my pre-amp?

A: There is an RCA input connection on the back of each of these speakers for an unbalanced audio signal. If you have speaker cables, which carry audio as well as power, then you would require passive speakers; such as two of the Alesis Elevate 6 Passive - 6 Desktop Studio Monitor, (B&H # ALELEVATE6PA.)

Q: 8. Is a big difference between these and mr5 mk3 ? How about power consumption ?

A: The power consumption on the MR524 and MR5mkiii during loud music playback is the same; 90 watts. High's and low's are better reproduced over the MR524 nonetheless.

Q: 9. Is that the price of the pair?

A: No, the Yamaha HS8 are priced per speaker. Most studio monitors are priced per speaker, unlike home entertainment speakers which are typically priced per pair.

Q: 10. Is it 240-110V?

A: No, it is not switchable between 110/240v. You will need a converter to use these overseas.

[100 to 120 VAC] For video you'd be hard pressed to have better sound for two or more times the price. I only sit arm's length away from them, so they're quite punchy without being overwhelming. Great stereo field. Quite revealing too. 5

Gary	27/08/2024
[100 to 120 VAC] I love these for their honest clarity. I upgraded from a lesser set of these monitors and like these even more. I just wish they had threaded screw mounts to wall mount them. And I do wish the power switch was on the front. But they do sound great and these are a great option for pure clean sound! 5

Kenneth	06/07/2024
[50 W] I purchased a pair for mixing. These are very clear and precise. I look forward to using these more, as I have only had them a couple of weeks. 5

Guy	03/07/2024
[100 to 120 VAC] I'm very happy with these monitors. They seem well built and have good clarity. I use them for video production some am mostly mixing dialogue or dialogue over music. 5

Javier	22/06/2024
[100 to 120 VAC] For that price you can't get a better deal if you are looking for precise flat sound. 5

Jose	16/06/2024
[100 to 120 VAC] I have used one pair of these speakers and they work fine. I like the way they sound. Very clear and professional. 5

David	26/05/2024
[100 to 120 VAC] I came from Mackie MR5 mk1's that I owned for many many years. These have a deeper, tighter bass. I like the high end through these too. It's not brash. Sound stage is pretty wide. I briefly owned Kali LP6 but returned them due to the noisey Class D amps that sounded like a waterfall (white noise) in a quieter room from 2-3 feet away. These Mackies have a Class A/B amp design that is much much quieter. Plus the Mackies just sound tighter to my ears. Esp in the low end. More mid definition too compared to the Kali monitors. The enclosure of the Kalis was a flexy cheap plastic. These Mackies are a lot more sturdy. I'm happy. I would probably give these a 4.5/5 if I could. And the LP6 a 3. 5

Matt	23/05/2024
[50 W] Coming from MR5's Mk1 these are a great upgrade. Also more stylish for our studio than the JBL's or others that have that lacquer-finish plastic all over it. 5

sergio	18/04/2024
[50 W] I got four of these monitors and they sound very nice, very well made, and good flat sound. 5

J. Casalino	03/04/2024
[50 W] These Mackie speakers are really surprisingly good, especially for the price. They do take more power to drive than the Tannoy Reveal 501A's they replaced, but that's no big deal. It took a little bit of time to find just the right spot and angle for them on my desk, but now I'm treated to nice, deep, tight bass unlike anything I expected. These are rated to 50Hz and I can tell that's not an over exaggeration. The highs are much less sibilant and noisy than the previous Tannoy speakers I had. I listen to a lot of EDM, Rock, and Metal so mids and lows are critical. I do have a small subwoofer which fills out the sound just a little bit, but honestly these don't need it.� I compared these to the MRMK3 speakers, and these really improve the clarity and accuracy of the music. I also cross-shopped PreSonus, Sterling Audio, KRK, Focal, Yamaha, and Pioneer. All the brands have their pluses and minuses, so it really comes down to personal preference.� For what it's worth, I didn't find the Mackie MR524's to be quite as clear or bright as the PreSonus Eris E5's, but ultimately the lack of mid-bass response from the PreSonus speakers was the deciding factor. The PreSonus would be fantastic if you're primarily listening to classical or vocal music, but for everything else I think Mackie has them beat hands-down for the same price. I drive the Mackie's from my computer via Optical S/PDIF to a Yamaha RX-V1 receiver. I then pass the unbalanced output to a CleanBox Pro for balancing and run XLR to the speakers themselves. I keep volume on all devices around 50-60%. I have no doubt I could blast these to ear-deafening levels but I actually like my neighbors. 5
