Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (6 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "If your looking for a nicely priced studio monitor system, then this is something you should really take some time to give it a"
Sound: For me it was out of the the KRK's rocket8's or these and after testing out the KRK's, I chose the Mackie MR8mk2's. They sound more cleaner and have a nice bottom end to them that make your mixes just a little bit easier on you. These studio monitors really get the job done! Feature: They built a great studio monitor! Ease of Use: Very straight forward set up, just hook them up and start enjoying! Quality: The speaker is very well built! and they sound great! Value: For the price, there a steel! Can''t get any better than this Manufacturer Support: I have really never had to contact Mackie for their products have never given me any trouble whats so ever! Good products from people who care about sound! The Wow Factor: They are clean looking monitors, no fancy gadgets that just stand out but do nothing, very sleek design, a James Bond Of studio monitor if you will! Nice Finish. Overall: Til it breaks on me! Hopefully never!

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great sound, great value."
Sound: These things sound great! I'd read reviews that said that these were like a home stereo speaker with lots of bass response and that studio monitors are meant to sound bad, because when you get them sounding good you know you've hit the sweet spot. There might be some truth to that, but that's like saying you should marry an ugly girl because she'll be grateful. I had the original KRK Rokit 5's before, and truly if you got a mix sounding good on those things it would sound good anywhere. Problem is, there was hardly any bass response on those, so the bass player could have been playing a different song for all you'd know. These have great bass response, but the mids and highs are crystal clear too, not muddy like the KRKs always sounded to me. Maybe it's not fair to compare a 5" monitor with a 8", but the Mackies only cost me about $100 more than what I paid for the Rokits. If I'd known how good the Mackies sound I'd have never bought the little KRKs. Feature: Nothing special here. Just slider switches to attenuate the highs or lows, and an input level potentiometer. The input level knob is about the size of a worn #2 pencil eraser, and hard to locate without turning the speaker cabinet around so you can see it, but it's the kind of thing you usually set once and leave, so no big deal. Ease of Use: Sounded great right out of the box. Quality: Really too soon to tell. Just got them today. I'd heard that Mackie moved MR8 production to China, so my expectations were not great, but so far I have no complaints. Value: Great value! Manufacturer Support: I've always had good luck with Mackie products. Had an Onyx Satellite audio interface a couple years ago that was DOA and they sent me a new one, no questions asked. The Wow Factor: Nothing fancy to look at, but they sound great. Overall: I'd buy them again.
