Engineered for musicians, sound engineers, and content creators, this monitor excels in reproducing clear, accurate sound across a wide frequency spectrum, making it perfect for mixing dialogue, hip-hop, rock, podcasts, and studio albums.

At its core, the MR524 boasts a 5-inch polypropylene woofer for punchy, dynamic lows and a 1-inch silk-dome tweeter for crisp, detailed highs. These components are driven by 50 watts of bi-amplified Class A/B amplification, ensuring optimal power distribution and audio fidelity. With a frequency response of 45 Hz to 20 kHz, the monitor captures a broad sound range, enhanced by Mackie’s logarithmic waveguide design for ultra-wide dispersion and precise stereo imaging.

Customization is a key strength of the MR524. It features adjustable acoustic space filters and a high-frequency filter, allowing users to fine-tune the sound to suit their room’s acoustics. Housed in a professional all-wood cabinet with internal bracing and acoustic absorption material, the monitor minimizes distortion and enhances low-end response, delivering tight, accurate audio. Connectivity is versatile, with XLR, 1/4″ TRS, and RCA inputs compatible with a variety of audio sources.

Measuring 11.1″ H x 7.1″ W x 8.7″ D and weighing 10.2 lbs, the MR524 is compact yet sturdy, ideal for desktop or stand-mounted setups. For those needing extended bass, it pairs seamlessly with the MRS10 studio subwoofer, making it a go-to for bass-heavy genres like electronic music or hip-hop. Whether you’re crafting a podcast or producing a full album, the MR524 ensures your mixes translate flawlessly across different playback systems.
