Verð áður Kr. 96.900.- Mackie’s HR824 set a benchmark for project studio monitoring when it was first released two decades ago — and now the concept has been made even more accessible. Twenty years have passed since Mackie first introduced the HR824. This 250 Watt, bi-amped active studio monitor featured a one-inch aluminium-domed tweeter, an 8.75-inch woofer, a set of switchable filters that assisted the user in optimising the speaker for both room acoustics and positioning, and a concealed, rear-mounted 6x12-inch passive radiator — an unusual feature that helped the speaker deliver a bass performance that went well beyond that of its contemporary competitors. The HR824 found considerable success everywhere from home studios to professional facilities. In 2007, a decade after the introduction of the original, the HR824 Mk2 appeared, combining a somewhat more attractive price with several external and internal upgrades, the most notable of which were a new moulded-aluminium baffle with an integral high-frequency waveguide, and the change to a titanium diaphragm in the one-inch tweeter. Fast-forward another 10 years to the present day and we come to the XR824: a more attractively priced extension of the 824 concept that, although cosmetically familiar on the outside, appears to have been completely re-engineered throughout.
