Mackie MR524

Ei tähän hätään mitään laajempaa arvostelua, mutta olen kuitenkin kohta vuoden ajan omistanut parin näitä, niin kerrotaan jotain.

Ääni on miellyttävä ja juuri sopivan tasainen omaan makuun, että näillä niin kuuntelee ja kuin myös tuottaa musiikkia. Tarpeeksi midejä metallin kuunteluun ja bassoa löytyy niin että naapuritkin nauttivat. Isommissa versiossa bassoa olisi varmasti vielä lisää. Yläpäätäkin on tarpeeksi että musiikin "tilasta" saa selvää. Ei kuitenkaan kuulostaa siltä, että joku koittaisi kovertaa naskalilla korvaa. Pieneen huoneeseen näistä kuitenkin irtoaa ääntä enemmän kuin tarpeeksi.

I bought this for my amateur home studio, which is in a multi-use room; no treatment etc. I record mostly acoustic guitars and vocals and listen to music with them. As such, they work very well and are tonally well balanced. Trebles are clear and the bass is reasonable without getting mushy, boomy or overpowering. Well worth the money for my use and I would definetly buy them again, if need be. Personally I liked them more than JBL LRP 305’s.

I have this pair of monitors for 6 months and I am absolutely happy with the choice.
I use them for everyday listening, but unfortunately without a sound card. So my feedback cannot be really fairly considered.

Even though I did not have a chance to compare this pair with Persons Eris E5, I enjoy the quality and clearness of the sound and how balanced is the sound (middle and high frequency range, the stage width and pleasant depth of voice) for my taste (I am owner of Audio-Technica ATH-M50 and Trinity Audio Phantom Master headphones). Besides, they are quite light and do not produce a lot of noise while in stand-by mode. The maximum volume (the source is MacBook Pro) is more than enough for a room of 20 m2 or a bit bigger.

I am not sure what can I tell about disadvantages. The two things are missing, but do not related to the monitors themselves - sound card and subwoofer, as there is an obvious lack of low base range.

I like the monitors with their balanced sound and volume capacity, but think that sound card and a subwoofer is still needed for better experience.
