Mackie HR624s?

**audioinjection** · 18-08-2006, 05:29 PM

I posted a while back that I was looking into some new monitors and I was thinking of Dynaudio's.........but now I see the smaller Mackies and wondered if it was worth it? Has anyone had experience with these? I don't need huge speakers and I don't really play my music too loud anyway.......so some feedback/advice would be nice.

Thanks!

i have these but with a sub as well , im thinking of just using the 624`s myself as i m broke and need the dough so im gonna sell the sub, they dont sound as sweet as the 824`s but are pretty good to my ears and pretty neutral although they maybe a little on the bright side. They are loud enough for home studios for sure ,i have them in a room about 10 feet by 15 feet and they are loud enough easily.

cool thanks for the response!

i have a sub as well, and i'm thinking of using them along with it, i have a fairly small room too, so maybe it would be a nice choice

i have the 824's... i think they are the most beautiful speakers ever. mind you, i grew up with the alesis monitor ones... gr8 but just killed my ears tbh...

i think the most important thing with any speaker is to make sure you get the acoustics in your room right... i've spent thousands on getting my room right.... much more than i spent on my speakers.... make sure you have good bass traps, perhaps a bass box....

i uploaded an article recently from sound on sound..do a search or email me: info@blackoutaudio.co.uk and i'll send it to ya :)

we have the 624's and they have been amazing, totally crisp sound, i wouldnt swop these for anything!!

you know i went to the local shop and heard these against the dynaudios and seriously the dynaudios sounded so much better......im not saying the mackies were bad, but for pretty much the same price, i think im going with dynaudio

thanks for the feedback guys!

mate, you have to look hard at this.. this is big money you're spending...

you know, you MUST take into account environment.

i swear the mackie's rock.... go to their site.. it's an amazing speaker.... look at the response in the specs...

anyway, i'm saying just cause they sounded good in the shop doesnt mean they will sound gr8 in your studio. put me in an anacoeic (arrghh i can't spell it hahah)chamber with both speaks and i'll tell ya hahaha

hey audioinjection, did you go with the dynaudios? i've been looking into getting some bm6a's (or maybe some adam p11a). going to give them both a test run, but would be good to hear what you thought about them :)

i haven't picked them up yet because of some financial issues, but i really do want to get those and i'm 99.9999% sure that i'm going with these. after comparing them with the mackie's, the dynaudio's sound much better i think. but like mark said, this was in the studio at the shop.......maybe they have some cool return policy so i can try them out a bit and compare the 2 at my studio

but $1000 for the pair, i gotta save my pennies hehe

I haven't heard the mackies but am familiar with the Dynaudio's and they are very good monitors indeed. You wouldn't go wrong with them Imo

I would say any decent set of monitors in this range would do a good job if you take time to a) get the room and acoustics right and b) familiarize yourself thoroughly with their individual character and how that translates to other systems

Alot comes down to personal taste after that

Get some Genelecs!

I have the mid-size 8030s and they were reasonably priced at 1100EURO!

Personally I would check Dynaudio BM5a and Adam A7. Those Adams should be pretty good for the price, around 1k USD/pair..

Man those genelecs are like having a road drill in your ears. In all but the largest of rooms those things kill me, and they seem a little weird with the bass.
