The Mackie HR824mk2 8" 2-way high resolution active studio reference monitors, P/N 2034159-00, represent the evolution of revolutionary thinking. Mackie engineers, joined by audio gurus from EAW, worked hard to conceive of a way to preserve the all-important character of the original HR, while delivering performance—as well as appearance—that’s better than ever. And even more so than the original HR824, which were designed apart from each other, the HR824mk2 is part of the same family, true siblings in design and sound. Sharing the same engineering, they are created to work together, whether in surround systems, or as part of complementary monitoring setups in different sized rooms.
