Mackie Monitor Series MR5S Specifications

MR5S

Monitor Series

 Careful acoustic design and the use of advanced

materials contribute to the exceptional music delity
and speech intelligibility exhibited by the Mackie
Industrial MR5S (black) and MR5SW (white) two-way
speaker systems.

 The shielded low-frequency driver's carbon ber

diaphragm remains extremely rigid at high power lev­els, producing a linear response and low distortion.
The cone is tted with a durable foam surround and
treated to resist moisture. The high-frequency section
features a 105° x 105° constant directivity horn with a
built-in mechanical phase equalizer. The horn is driven
by a Ferrouid® cooled, 0.75" soft dome tweeter.

 The system is nominally crossed over at 2.5kHz by

a 12 dB/octave network, which uses markedly lower
(than conventional) inductance values in series with
the woofer. This design reduces sound delays associ­ated with high inductance values and provides excel­lent low frequency transient response. The high-pass
section is corrected for optimum performance of the
CD horn and is protected with a circuit based on a low­value/low-mass lament resistor that smoothly limits
the power sent to the tweeter driver.

 All components are housed in a vented enclosure

formed from semi-expanded polystyrene foam that is
extremely strong, lightweight and weather resistant.
Threaded metal sockets are molded into the cabinet
to facilitate quick, safe deployment of the MR5S, as a
single unit or in arrays, using specially designed acces­sory mounting hardware.

 The MR5S is a part of Mackie Industrial’s Monitor

Series, which includes two-way constant directivity,
compact speakers in easily installed enclosures.

 This Mackie Industrial product is covered by an

exclusive, one-time, NO FAULT repair policy in addition
to a ve year limited warranty.
