Mackie Monitor Series MR8 Quick Start Manual

The MR8 (Black) and MR8W (White) are a
compact two-way speaker system designed for
constant-impedance systems. The 8" carbon
fiber woofer, in combination with a 1" titanium
dome tweeter mounted on a 110° x 90°
constant directivity horn, provide natural,
smooth sound reproduction, ideal for use in
business music systems, indoor/outdoor
foreground/background music applications,
and near-field monitoring.
The passive crossover is designed to
reduce heat dissipation and optimize the
power response of the loudspeaker.
Connections are made to recessed, gold
plated banana terminals.
The enclosure is constructed of high-
density polystyrene, with integrated mounting
points for use with the optional mounting
hardware, and includes a protective
perforated steel grille.
