Mackie MR524 5 inch Powered Studio Monitor

The Mackie MR series speakers have received positive reviews on their sound quality, design and performance, but some issues have also been found. They have a clear, accurate sound and great bass extension, making them popular with audio and video production. One reviewer noted they sounded best at low volumes in full range. Another recommended using a subwoofer for better performance and more bass. The Mackie MR624s were compared to the KRK G4 and were preferred due to the quieter Class A/B amplifier. However, one reviewer reported a loss of a tweeter or crossover only after 18 months and had difficulty receiving a response from the seller regarding the warranty period. In terms of cons, some customers noted that the speakers can be quite large and deep, which could be an issue for smaller workspaces. Additionally, the speaker boxes may make a cracking, plasticky sound from the heat, and one customer received shipping with the product name clearly visible.
