Mackie is expanding it successful XR Series of studio monitors with the newly announced XR Series. Aimed at professional and project studios, the XR Series offers two models, the 8″ XR824 and 6.5″ XR624.
‘Mackie is well known for creating high-performing studio monitors that cover the widest possible range of applications, from our ultra-affordable CR Series to our flagship HR Series,’ commented Jon Rundle, Mackie Product Manager. ‘And XR really hits the sweet spot, with a step-up to truly professional performance at prices far more affordable than boutique offerings.’
Drawing inspiration from Mackie’s HR Series monitors, the XRs feature a smart logarithmic waveguide, providing acoustic alignment to deliver precision balance between articulate highs and midrange clarity. Both models feature a high-output 160W power amplifier and premium transducers including a Kevlar LF driver with proven fast-recovery from transients, virtually eliminating resonant frequencies. And, unique to XR, Mackie has developed the new ELP Bass Reflex System which utilizes an extended-length, internally curved port that delivers outstanding bass response and increased output capability.
Shipping is scheduled for November. Info: www.mackie.com/XR
