MACKIE HRS120
November 2002—The Mackie HRS120 is a THXpm3-certified, 400W sub to complement Mackie's HR624 near-fields or any multichannel monitoring system that requires a dedicated LF channel.

Controls include an adjustable crossover with highpass outputs for use with full-range monitors, 110Hz elliptical filter for Dolby AC-3, output level switch for AC-3/THX.1 recording, polarity and a rotary input-sensitivity control. Connections are balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA. Slave In and Master Out options allow multiple woofers to be daisy-chained together, while two 1/4-inch phone jacks accommodate a subwoofer bypass footswitch and bypass indicator. Free-field frequency response is 21 to 150 Hz, ±1.5 dB, and the unit produces 100 dB SPL @ 1 m. Dimensions are 21x18x21.3 inches (HxWxD); weight is 94 pounds. Price: $1,499.
MACKIE HR624 ACTIVE MONITORS
January 2002—Essentially a smaller version of its acclaimed HR824 studio monitors, the HR624 active studio monitors ($649/each) from Mackie are slated to ship this month.

The speakers feature THX™ pm3-certification, and can be used as a stereo pair, or as a complete 5.1/7.1 surround system, with or without Mackie's new HRS120 400-watt subwoofer ($1,499). The HR624 specs include a frequency response of 50-20k Hz, ±1.5 dB and a max SPL of 112 dB (1 m). TO READ THE REVIEW, CLICK HERE.
