Value For Money : Excellent
I wanted full active speaker approaching the Genelec sound ...
I use them for the sound recording, mixing up ... with some infidelity in the mix ... (I mix by juggling on other plays in another room)
I atacs direct analog sound card (RME Multiface a) to have its "nature" is a bit hard before I was leaving a tascam tdm 4000, I think it sounded sweeter ... less ear fatigue ... but if done right ear ... yes it reveals the sound of the converter input is obvious!!
so watch the weakest link in your studio.

SOUNDS

for my ears, I find them colder mediums less generous than the Genelec, so be careful when mixing, but generally (if the sound was done with the Mack) ... Some defects are caught upstream has the sound,
it is very clear in the treble and bass ... ideal has the sound to the gale blowing on the microphone or various ... it forces you to be vigilant and careful mediums of the sound, which is facilitated by mixing the following ...

attention to the treatment of the listening room and the distance to the wall well away from walls, for different resonant frequencies and low

good stereo imaging ...

comply with the dynamics are listening to local levels and reasonable, "customer focus" attention it go deaf is also impressive natural!


OVERALL OPINION

Since 2003 she advocates, and sometimes on stage (yes that luxury as a return personal)
I also have Yamaha NS10 studio I get to confirm my mix,
I then finished for fun and consistency of the mix with a couple of legendary JBL L100 century 3voie model and amp macintosh Blue Eyes ... just for something to make me feel good .. and especially also to check my mix on the 3 ways, and in another room ...
and finally to complete a play about a mini-chain (LG) of the living room of my daughter for the next pass across the mix, not forgetting the car radio of the car ... (yes to a mix that is not on a single pair of listening to do ... it's long! "I always check with my Mackies any changes made to the sound, because I have total confidence in their analytical side)
to the sound of the Mackie HR824 is very precise,
the mix must check not just get caught up in the reverb, it sounds to foix too well to be honest ... then we are disappointed, then! we mix the reverb minima, and checked the chain on the show ... the car ... ect.
good value for money speakers mounted in the united states ... not to be confused with the new HR824 MK2 mounted in china I guess for the price !!!!! sounds that can be both ????( m. .... then, poor Chinese if they knew the value of their work, they would do it again the revolution!)

Prices used for the HR824 model are well below their value intrasseque ...
I would love the opportunity to buy ... view their current dequote ...
but I do not regret owning them for 7 years ... it made my many services, even scenes of luxury in return for acoustic jazz player critical ... and the more it makes my taste its premium for a lower price.
