Which Mackie Monitors are right for my room size?

[kts2001]

Hello Guys

I just finished building my home studio and I want to purchase a pair of Mackie Monitors for my setup. My room size is 7 1/2'x 9' of room space, from floor to cieling is 87 inches high. I've been using a pair of Event PS5 Monitors, I would like to know which Mackie monitor system is right for my room space, the HR-624 or HR-824?


Thanks

Ringo

Ringo - unfortunatly this is not a question that can be answered by plugging in room dimensions...

The 624 & 824 have different frequency response curves and will sound slightly different in any room.

Try and find a local dealer who will let you audition monitors in your room and judge that way... you may find that something other then the mackies sound best

Cheers
Kevin.

The 624s require a sub to reproduce the lowest frequencies, so the 824s make more sense for a normal stereo setup.

Thanks Guys,


I'm gonna go with the Mackie HR-824's, I produce HipHop and Techno/Trance/Dance music, so the 824's is just perfect. I'll be able to produce better drum and bass tracks with the 824's.


Peace.
