Mackie HR626
Two-way Active reference monitor
Say hello to the Mackie HR626 - a THX-approved, 2-way Active reference
monitor. When placed vertically, the HR626 has the same great sound and
similar frequency response as the HR824, with a smaller footprint. Also,
due to its symmetrical left-right sound field, the Mackie HR626 is perfect
as a center channel monitor for surround sound mixing or for high-end
home theater applications.
D'Appolito Design
Some years ago, renowned audio engineer Joe D'Appolito started placing
a single woofer on each side of the HF transducer, and using a third-order
(or higher) crossover in his designs. The end result - proper phase
control of the loudspeaker and the low frequency response was extended.
That's why the Mackie HR626 has a 6.7" woofer on each end of the
cabinet with a waveguide-loaded dome tweeter stuck right the center.
Mackie Active Design
The 100- and 40-watt FR (Fast Recovery) Series amplifiers inside the HR626
are clean and ultra-reliable. Add to this phase- and time-correction crossover
and you've got one excellent sounding Active monitor. Frequency response
is verifiably "ruler-flat" from 42Hz to 20kHz, with a 3dB down
point at 40Hz. The Mackie HR626 is ideal for those who need lots of bottom-end
and high-resolution midrange for mixing and vocal placement.
Thumpin' Bass
Instead of using a single large woofer, the HR626 uses two 6.7" transducers.
Not only does this help the HR626 meet the D'Appolito design concept,
dual LF drivers also move a larger column of air. Add to this a mass-loaded,
rear-firing passive radiator and you've got extended low-end that just
won't quit.
Waveguide-Loaded Tweeter
That unusual looking tweeter is actually a waveguide-mounted 1" aluminum
dome HF transducer. The logarithmic waveguide works with the tweeter to
ensure accurate, even dispersion of the high-frequency content, creating
a much wider "sweet spot" than offered by most studio monitors.
More Options
Controls found on the HR626
rear panel
- Acoustic Space Control
The HR626 has a 3-position switch that can be set for full space (way
out from the walls), half-space (against a back wall), or quarter space
(in a corner). The Acoustic Space Control, for accurate bass in a small
control room.
- LF Roll-Off
The HR626 plays considerably lower than most home stereo speakers. It
is equipped with an 80Hz Roll-Off switch to temporarily disable extremely
low bass.
- High Frequency
There may be times you might be using the HR626 in larger, more live
spaces. Mackie has included a HF shelving control that reduces frequencies
above 10kHz by 2dB, as well as a 2dB boost for rooms where HF content
is easily absorbed.
