Has the power, performance, and clarity you need to create world-class mixes.

As a professional studio monitoring solution, MRmk2s are extremely balanced, outputting a high-frequency clarity and midrange definition you can stake your reputation on. They out-power any competitively priced monitor and deliver deeper, more accurate bass than anything in their class. Perfect for professional and home studios, as well as home theaters and multimedia applications, MRmk2 monitors deliver a rich sonic experience and the power, performance and clarity you need to create world-class mixes.

All-new professional transducers
MRmk2 Series studio monitors feature all-new professional transducers specifically designed to meet the demands of the modern project studio. The neodymium magnet-driven silk dome tweeter is both smooth and accurate, featuring ferro-fluid cooling to help protect against power compression during wide dynamic playback. The hyperbolic curved cone woofer, inverted dust cap, and long voice coil windings work in tandem to deliver smooth, consistent output with controlled low frequency performance. When paired with Mackie’s precision-tuned amplifiers, MRmk2 monitors provide spot-on input-to-output tuning that you can take to the bank.

Precision power amplifiers
The dual precision Class A/B amplifiers have been re-voiced to specifically match their new driver components, ensuring that your sound is minimally impacted by distortion, artifacts or changes in frequency response often imparted by working at a variety of volume levels. MRmk2 Series monitors are a 2-way design that offers up to 150 watts of total system power. Delivering more power than anything in their class, MRmk2 studio monitors provide exceedingly smooth output, from ultra-low bass frequencies to precise midrange and sparkling highs.

Custom waveguide and baffle
An optimally-sized custom waveguide is designed to maximize sonic clarity and dispersion, while also serving to minimize diffractions. This approach allows for seamless transition of HF and LF content along with a 3-dimensional sense of space. MRmk2 monitors also feature a molded baffle to impart superior imaging and depth. Your monitors need to be as accurate as they are great-sounding, and the MRmk2 design philosophy gives you exactly that.

Top-notch cabinet design
Everything even down to the cabinet design of MRmk2s are handled with the utmost attention to detail. The sleek-looking MRmk2 cabinets feature custom-tuned rear ports, allowing for the controlled passage of air in and out. The cabinets are constructed of solid MDF, so there’s no unwanted distortion from air movement or vibrations. Transducers are never restricted by pressure, and the cabinets resonate low for deep, balanced bass.

With our Guaranteed Lowest Price, you can be assured of complete satisfaction and the lowest available price, or your money back!

  • awesome after breaking in

    As reviewed by Henry Egloff on 1/6/2012

    When I first used these speakers they would turn themselves off after ten minutes. There is no included manual, so I thought one was defective and returned it. Later I found the manual online and learned about the overheat protection mechanism. Apparently (the manual doesn't mention this), these speakers(I've had three now) will overheat when brand new, but after a few days of use they are fine. Thus the four stars, not five. They have not turned themselves off in over a week now. As for the sound quality, it is truly impressive. Full, rich and flat reproduction. Bassy, but not too much bass. They just sound awesome!

  • Amazing!

    As reviewed by Trob on 8/29/2011

    I just traded out my Bx5a's and there is no comparison. These are so crystal clear it's not even funny. They are a perfect mixing speaker. I would highly recommend these monitors.

  • Accurate Sound

    As reviewed by Minister Slugger on 6/29/2011

    I just recently purchased these monitors and I'm impressed with the sound. The low end has a tight punch (but not too overpowering) while the mids & highs are clear. What I really love about these monitors is that I get a accurate mix everytime. What I hear through the monitors in the studio is the same thing I hear when I reference the mix in the car. If you are looking for a pair of monitors with accurate sound then look no further. Great Buy, Great Price, Great Sound!!!!
