Mackie has finally stop making muddy sounding Studio Monitors... Mind blowing Mackie Monitors 2020 forward!!!

Works nice with Yamaha HS8 Powered Studio Monitors

I have been using the Mackie SRM Series Studio monitors in my recording studio and home sound system for years, and did not expect this set to sound as good given the price point. I was pleasantly surprised with how good this set really sounds. If you feed them a quality audio source, they sound great. If you plug them into a cheap sound source, not so much. I like that these have multiple unbalanced and balanced input jacks. Keep in mind that these are near field monitors, so the correct placement on your desktop is necessary to realize the potential sound quality.

22 years ago an audio rep at B&H helped me build my first recording studio. I didn't know enough then to realize how stellar the recommendations that were made were. In early 2022 I decided to do an entire upgrade to my studio, from computers to software etc. One of the original recommendations for monitors were the original Mackie HR824's. They are used as near field monitors. One of the amps on one monitor blew out. So I found my self on a search. I went through the usual suspects. Almost went for the Yamaha's but at the end of the day, i purchased 2 brand new Mackie HR8242. I can't believe they are even better than the originals. Clean, crisp, and flat, every mix sounds as its supposed to, in the studio, on my beats, in my car, on the phone, and on the web. They really are just spectacular monitors. Well worth the price of admission without a doubt.

I have powered up my old Tannoy System 8 monitors in my home studio after using various powered speakers the past few years. This little Pyle amp makes them sound as good or better than my old Kenwood that pooped out 10 years ago. They have such good bass that I don't need a sub. I am pleasantly surprised by this inexpensive piece of gear. I even like the the blue light. Go Pyle!

Bought this amp to power some non-powered studio monitors I had gotten for my desktop editing system. ... Easy setup with regular 12 gauge wire. Great sound and controls. Very solid amp. The sound is great and crisp!

It is an ideal volume control between my mixer and self-powered studio monitors. Nice fit and finish but smooth and elegant in operation too. The single large volume knob is smooth and allows for granular level of volume control. The mute button is a nice touch too. You can see, feel, and hear the German engineering that produced this.

I use this to provide input to a pair of JBL LSR308 powered studio monitors from my computer. Truly plug n play. Great sound quality. Only nit to pick is that the install would look cleaner if the USB and XLR connections were on the same face.

First, 60W will probably meet your needs in a small video studio. I only use 2-8% of the output. Secondly, a standard modifier platform (Bowens' S mount), has saved me a great deal of time. The lower cost silent heads would only accept barndoors, gaffing tape and aluminum foil. Far Far easier to repurpose old modifiers or purchase new. Previously, I would have to retape the foil at inopportune times. SILENCE is critical for me. Recording a cast once correctly is worth all the post processing in the world. Nothing beats SILENCE.
