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!
Style of Music: Smooth Jazz, Motion picture sound scoring

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Well worth the money!"
Overall: I do have to say, I have heard a decent amount of midrange priced monitors and these ones might be at the top! I feel they are more crisp then the KRK's they're often compared too. Pros: Very well built, solid construction. Crystal clear mids and highs and the bass doesn't miss. EQ filter was added for highs and lows, nice bonus. Cons : I will say that one of them gets a lot warmer then the other. To the point where I have to put a fan on it after hours of use. Other then that, I don't really have any complaints.Also - Make sure you run atleast 1/4" balanced, if not XLR to these bad boys. Give them the best balanced signal ya can!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
