Mackie HR824 Active Studio Reference Monitor

September 26, 1997 -- Mackie Designs announces the new HR Series^TM HR824 High-Resolution Active Studio Reference Monitor. The active, biamplified HR824 is one of the most accurate near-field monitors available. The HR824 incorporates a compact design with power response so flat that it serves as a completely neutral conductor for any audio signal. These near-field monitors are an excellent choice for professional recording studios, video, audio and post production suites, project recording rooms and any environment where critical listening is a stringent requirement.
