Monitor Series
Compact Full-Range Speaker
MR8
SPEAKER
The MR8 is the result of extensive research in
the development of new transducers and crossover
design. The result is a product with exceptional
fidel-ity, the ability to produce deep controlled bass
and extended high frequencies without sacrificing
efficiency.
The low-frequency 8" driver's low-mass, carbon
fiber diaphragm remains extremely rigid at high power
levels, producing a more linear response and lower
distortion. The cone is fitted with a durable foam
surround and treated to resist moisture. The high-
frequency section features a constant directivity horn
with a built-in mechanical phase equalizer. The horn
is driven by a Ferrofluid
®
cooled, 1" titanium dome
tweeter.
The system is nominally crossed over at 1.6kHz by
a 12 dB/octave network, which uses markedly lower
(than conventional) inductance values in series with
the woofer. This design reduces sound delays associ-
ated with high inductance values and provides excel-
lent low frequency transient response.
All components are housed in a vented enclosure
formed from semi-expanded polystyrene foam that is
extremely strong, lightweight and weather resistant.
Threaded metal sockets are molded into the cabinet
to facilitate quick, safe deployment of the MR8, as
a single unit or in arrays, using specially designed
accessory mounting hardware. The speaker system
is available in black or white (MR8W).
The MR8 is a part of Mackie Industrial’s Monitor
Series, which includes two-way constant directivity,
compact speakers in easily installed enclosures.
