Power and Performance, at an Unbelievable Price

When you�??re ready to make the switch to pro studio monitors, there are many things you need to consider. For instance, it�??s up to you to create a mix that works on a variety of speakers�??one that translates to boomboxes, home and car stereos, even headphones and portable music players. So you need monitors that deliver a neutral starting point, and sound that is clear across the frequency spectrum. You also want monitors with consistent performance, so whether you�??re on axis or off, cranking �??em up or turning �??em down low, what you�??re hearing is accurate. And you want all this at a reasonable price.

Mackie MR8 and MR5 Studio Monitors deliver truly professional quality and everything you need for critical monitoring�??at a price that�??s unbelievably affordable. Wide, even dispersion means a broad sweet spot, minimizing funny dips or peaks in frequency response when you move off axis. You get superior bass extension�??tight and free from distortion�??so your lows pack just the right amount of punch. And to ensure the best sound possible for your setup, the MR Series monitors feature acoustic controls so you can tune them to fit your room. With their Active bi-amplified architecture, wide dispersion, ultra-flat frequency response and outstanding bass performance, you get superior imaging with impeccable clarity, for a truly inspirational, non-fatiguing monitoring experience.

Our MR Series monitors achieve their transparent sound quality thanks to these key design elements:

BaffleMinimum-Diffraction Molded Baffle

When it comes to baffle design, shape matters; it plays a role in how sound waves travel. Our baffle is precisely molded to minimize diffraction, so sound waves radiate smoothly, and are dispersed optimally. Our precision waveguide is designed to ensure broad, even dispersion, and a smooth transition between highs and lows. The result is a crystal clear image of your mix, with an ultra-wide, even sweet spot. Whether you�??re in mix position or not, on axis or off, you�??ll always hear an accurate representation of your mix.

AmplifierAmplifier Design

Amplifiers are the power behind a monitor�??s sound, but they can also color it. Unlike with passive monitors, our amplifiers are precisely matched to the monitor design. Featuring our proven Class A/B architecture, the MR Monitors�?? amplifiers are meticulously tuned to deliver ultra-flat frequency response, so the sound remains neutral. To compensate for room characteristics, acoustic controls allow you to adjust High Frequency and Low Frequency settings (+/-2dB). Balanced inputs allow you to get the best signal possible, but the option of unbalanced inputs mean you can connect easily to any source. And MR Monitors deliver enough power to handle the toughest source material, at sound levels beyond sane people�??s requirements.

Cabinet

A speaker�??s cabinet is more than just an enclosure�??it�??s another component that affects the overall quality and character of the sound. Our cabinet features a rear port, carefully tuned to deliver superior bass performance with no audible vent noise. Because air passes through the precisely engineered curved port easily, there is no distortion, and no build-up of pressure within the cabinet that could affect driver movement. The rigidity of the cabinet�??s precision-braced MDF construction also prevents vibration, meaning your sound is always free from unwanted resonance.

WooferTransducers

Transducers are responsible for converting your electrical signal into sound, so consistent, unwavering performance is a must if you want sonic clarity. We specifically create our ultra-low distortion steel frame woofers and waveguide-loaded silk dome tweeters to work perfectly in concert with all the components in each MR monitor. You get a precisely tuned monitor that performs with impeccable consistency.

Applications

MR Series Monitors are ideal for a variety of applications. Use the MRs to empower your mixes in the studio, or to add pro sound to your multimedia, gaming or home theatre system. You can even use them for a great-sounding home DJ rig. The MR5 and MR8 Monitors share the same design, so they function great together, too, making them optimal for multiple monitor setups�??just add a Big Knob �??as well as surround systems. For any applications where high quality sound and classic good looks are required, MR monitors are the perfect fit.

Our Reputation Speaks for Itself

We don�??t mean to toot our own horn, but there�??s a reason serious pros love Mackie gear. With every product we release into the wild�??from monitors to loudspeakers to mixers�??we up the ante on performance, reliability and affordability. Our innovation and commitment to great sound is why so many of our products are top sellers, and why our gear has legions of enthusiastic devotees.

Okay, that sounded a little like a toot. But the point is, we make great stuff and we�??re proud. And we�??re really proud of our MR Series. Sure, there are lots of other affordable so-called studio monitors out there, but they just don�??t cut it when compared to our MR Series�??and they aren�??t backed by our years of experience. Thanks to our hardworking and knowledgeable audio experts, we�??ve once again set a whole new standard. Simply put, our MR5 and MR8 Monitors sound and perform better than anything else in their class�?�. But with the Mackie name, what else would you expect? Go hear the difference for yourself at a dealer today.

Mackie HRS120

2008-04-16T15:33:00.003-07:00

Mackie HRS120
12" Studio Subwoofer

Studio Quality Active Subwoofer Technology.

If you're putting together a matched system, the HRS120 is designed to work in perfect harmony with our HR824, HR624 and HR626 Active Near Field Monitors. The THX-approved Mackie HRS120 is a 12" Active subwoofer ideal for applications where precise, low frequency reproduction, and flexible monitoring are a must. Designed for professional recording studios and film/video surround post-production facilities that require extremely accurate bass extension to 19Hz and below, the HRS120 is also an excellent choice for home theater surround sound installations.

BUILT-IN FR SERIES POWER AMPLIFIER

What better way to power the subwoofer than with one of our acclaimed FR Series "Fast Recovery" power amplifiers? Our FR design uses low negative feedback, yet allows the amplifier to maintain low distortion and stability, even when driven into clipping. We built a beefy 400-watt FR amplifier for the HRS120, capable of extracting the maximum "thumpage" from the premium-quality 12" LF driver, without driving it into meltdown. Which brings us to the speakers...

THE TRANSDUCERS

The HRS120 subwoofer features a bottom-firing 12" die-cast frame woofer and a 12" passive radiator in the front. The unique passive radiator design provides a smooth response down to 19Hz�??an astounding accomplishment for a cabinet of this size! And since the radiator is adding to the output at the lowest frequencies, very little distortion is generated because the woofer stays well within its excursion limits.

VERSATILITY

The HRS120 subwoofer features a bottom-firing 12" premium, die-cast frame woofer and a 12" passive radiator mounted in the front. This unique design provides smooth response all the way down to 19Hz�??an astounding accomplishment for a cabinet this size! Since the passive radiator's output is effectively coupled to the room's air mass, the woofer stays well within its excursion limits, producing distortion-free deep, rich bass.

VALUE OVER PASSIVE SYTEMS?

Passive loudspeakers require external power amps, crossovers, and equalizers, costing you extra money�??and unless you're an electronics engineer, you just might be over- or under-powering your system, which could lead to expensive repairs! Since all necessary processing and amplification is included within its enclosure, the HRS120 stands out as an exceptional value. You can rest assured that all components are perfectly matched for performance and reliability�??and thanks to our advanced manufacturing techniques, Mackie HRS120s deliver "high-end" performance without the high-end price tag. Just bring your favorite CD* to a nearby dealer and compare them side-by-side with the competition. You'll hear the difference right away.

* Please, no iPods. We love 'em too, but compressed music files aren't going to give you an accurate read on the bottom-end these monitors can deliver.

Mackie HR626

2008-04-16T15:33:00.002-07:00

Mackie HR626
Dual 6"

The Post-Production and Surround Studio Standard.

With more and more recording studios mixing to 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound, the need arose for a studio monitor that could handle some serious multi-tasking. Say hello to the Mackie HR626 �?? a THX-approved, 2-way Active reference monitor that provides the same accuracy of Mackie's HR824. When placed vertically, the HR626 has the same great sound and similar frequency response as our legendary 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.

With extremely even dispersion for a wide "sweet spot" and user-adjustable controls for a variety of acoustic spaces, the HR626 is found in hundreds of professional studios and in the home studios of top recording artists (see list at left).

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. We decided to use Joe's design principles for one simple reason�??they work! 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. The HR626 is the first Mackie Active studio monitor to incorporate D�??Appolito design.

MACKIE ACTIVE DESIGN

The 100- and 40-watt FR (Fast Recovery) Series amplifiers inside the HR626 are clean, ultra-reliable �?? and most importantly, were specifically designed for these drivers. Our amps can drive these custom-tailored transducers to their limits without pushing them over the edge. Add to this our 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

Ask any bass player and they will tell you that smaller speakers respond to transient attacks much more quickly than their huge counterparts. (As long as they are designed to handle bass frequencies, that is.) That having been said, instead of using a single large woofer in the HR626, we chose to use two of our powerhouse 6.7" transducers (the same ones used in the HR624). 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 our 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 our waveguide-mounted 1" aluminum dome HF transducer. (Try to say that five times fast.) 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. And Mackie HR626s won�??t tire you out, even after hours of tracking and mixing.

MORE CONTROLS = MORE OPTIONS

On the rear panel of the HR626 you'll find some very useful controls:

Acoustic Space Control

Ideally, your monitor speakers should be placed well away from wall surfaces. But this isn't always easy in small project studios and video post suites. 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 can go. So we provided you with an 80Hz Roll-Off switch to temporarily disable extremely low bass when mixing for AM radios, boom boxes, and old people who rarely attend raves.

High Frequency

Although we expect that you have acoustic treatment in your control room (egg crates, wall carpets with dogs playing cards, etc.), there may be times you might be using the HR626 in larger, more live spaces such as a conference room. For these occasions, we've included a high frequency shelving control that reduces frequencies above 10kHz by 2dB. Conversely, in rooms where high frequency content is easily absorbed, a 2dB boost is available.

VERSATILITY

The Mackie HR624 is the ideal speaker for home project studios, smaller recording facilities, or anyplace where space is at a premium. And if you want even more bass, the HR626 was designed to work perfectly with the Mackie HRS120 Active Subwoofer system. For an outstanding home theater experience, combine an HR626 (center channel), a pair of HR624s (rear R/L), two of our HR824s (front R/L), and an HRS120 Active Subwoofer. Prepare to be blown away by your favorite movie without your feet sticking to the floor.

VALUE OVER PASSIVE SYSTEMS

Although HR626s deliver unparalleled performance, they aren't nearly as expensive as some of those "prima donna" studio monitors out there. Thanks to our advanced manufacturing techniques, Mackie HR626s deliver "high-end" performance without the high-end price tag. And when you compare them to passive monitors (requiring external power amplifiers, crossovers, and equalization), HR626s stand out as an exceptional value. Bring your favorite CD* to a nearby dealer and compare them side-by-side with the competition.

* Please, no iPods. We love 'em too, but compressed music files aren't going to give you an accurate read on the bottom-end these monitors can deliver.

Mackie HR624mk2
6.7-inch

Back in the �??90s, our HR Series studio reference monitors revolutionized studio monitoring. With their incredible sound quality and affordability, they earned a wide and loyal following, fast becoming the industry standard. It was through our innovation, and commitment to great sound, that we managed to redefine the studio monitor. With that same ingenuity at work, we�??ve reinvented our HR Series to bring you the new studio standard: the HRmk2 High Resolution Active Studio Reference Monitors.

The HRmk2s surpass the legendary performance of our classic HRs to deliver even better sound quality, in a stunning new package. The precisely engineered contours of the cast aluminum Zero Edge Baffle�?� minimize diffraction for a crystal clear image of your mix, and control sound waves so you get detailed lows, full, articulate mids, and shimmering highs�??whether you�??re on axis or off. Working in concert with the baffle�??s contours, the unique passive radiator design delivers astonishing bass extension that�??s super-tight and always distortion-free. Wide, even dispersion of all frequencies, as well as incredible depth of field, allow you to accurately hear your mix, transforming your studio�??s sweet spot into a full-on sweet zone. And the high-gloss piano black wood cabinet not only looks hot, but adds just enough warmth so your sound is true, not sterile.

Our HRmk2s were created with High Definition audio in mind�??with such unbelievable sound quality, there�??s little wonder why the HRmk2 Series was approved for THX pm3 compliance on its initial trial. THX pm3 Certification means that the HRmk2s have met the stringent standards set by THX Ltd.for outstanding performance, and that these monitors can be used with confidence by anyone seeking THX Certification for their studio, or striving to maintain THX standards.

We thought of every last detail, from consistency in sound from one HRmk2 monitor to the next, to an aesthetic design that unifies the whole HRmk2 family. Building on�??and evolving from�??our classic HR monitors' legacy of excellence, HRmk2s deliver superior performance and design, making them a truly pro monitoring solution for today's studio.

Up until the mid �??90s, there was no such thing as an affordable professional studio monitor. Even as more people began recording in homes and project studios, great sounding studio monitors remained cost-prohibitive. Home and project recordists resorted to using hi-fi speakers�??some even cobbled together their own monitors using parts from consumer speakers and the local electronics store�??with less than stellar results. We didn�??t think this was fair�??why should great sound be reserved for only those with a fat wallet?

We decided it was time to level the playback field. Our audio gurus got to work, combining their hard-won expertise to design a monitor that would at last make great sound accessible to the masses. After many long days�??and late nights�??the HR824 Active studio reference monitor was born. With its signature Active architecture and passive radiator design, the HR824 monitor delivered performance that impressed studio veterans and hobbyists alike�??and was in reach of all their budgets. Soon HR824s were perched atop speaker stands in professional control rooms, project studios and bedroom studios all over the world. Following the success of the HR824, we developed the HR624, a compact version of our world-renowned original. Like its �??big brother,�?? the HR624 earned a large and loyal following, and it, too, populated a wide range of studios. With their impeccable sound, enviable reputation and affordability, our HR Series changed what people expected of studio monitors, and challenged how our competitors designed theirs. Simply put, the HR Series became the new industry standard.

Since the release of the original HR Series in 1996, audio recording�??and the studio environment�??has changed by leaps and bounds. The greater bit depth and higher sampling rates afforded by digital audio mean recordings are more accurate than ever. Recording technology along every step of the signal chain has advanced, too, from microphones to DAWs, allowing for mixes with massive numbers of precisely captured tracks and huge amounts of processing. With these changes have come new challenges for�??and expectations from�??a studio monitor.

Today�??s studio demands a monitor that can reproduce sound as precisely as it is recorded. The same innovation that launched our pioneering HR Series has led to the birth of just such a monitor�??as well as a new studio standard. Meet the HRmk2.

Our HR824mk2 and HR624mk2 high-resolution Active studio reference monitors represent the evolution of revolutionary thinking. Our engineers, joined by audio gurus from EAW, worked hard to conceive of a way to preserve the all-important character of the original HR, while delivering performance�??as well as appearance�??that�??s better than ever. And even moreso than the original HR824 and HR624, which were designed apart from each other, the HR824mk2 and HR624mk2 are part of the same family, true siblings in design and sound. Sharing the same engineering, they are created to work together, whether in surround systems, or as part of complementary monitoring setups in different sized rooms.

Back in the �??90s, our HR Series studio reference monitors revolutionized studio monitoring. With their incredible sound quality and affordability, they earned a wide and loyal following, fast becoming the industry standard. It was through our innovation, and commitment to great sound, that we managed to redefine the studio monitor. With that same ingenuity at work, we�??ve reinvented our HR Series to bring you the new studio standard: the HRmk2 High Resolution Active Studio Reference Monitors.

The HRmk2s surpass the legendary performance of our classic HRs to deliver even better sound quality, in a stunning new package. The precisely engineered contours of the cast aluminum Zero Edge Baffle�?� minimize diffraction for a crystal clear image of your mix, and control sound waves so you get detailed lows, full, articulate mids, and shimmering highs�??whether you�??re on axis or off. Working in concert with the baffle�??s contours, the unique passive radiator design delivers astonishing bass extension that�??s super-tight and always distortion-free. Wide, even dispersion of all frequencies, as well as incredible depth of field, allow you to accurately hear your mix, transforming your studio�??s sweet spot into a full-on sweet zone. And the high-gloss piano black wood cabinet not only looks hot, but adds just enough warmth so your sound is true, not sterile.

Our HRmk2s were created with High Definition audio in mind�??with such unbelievable sound quality, there�??s little wonder why the HRmk2 Series was approved for THX pm3 compliance on its initial trial. THX pm3 Certification means that the HRmk2s have met the stringent standards set by THX Ltd.for outstanding performance, and that these monitors can be used with confidence by anyone seeking THX Certification for their studio, or striving to maintain THX standards.

We thought of every last detail, from consistency in sound from one HRmk2 monitor to the next, to an aesthetic design that unifies the whole HRmk2 family. Building on�??and evolving from�??our classic HR monitors' legacy of excellence, HRmk2s deliver superior performance and design, making them a truly pro monitoring solution for today's studio.

The StudioPro 3s deliver a host of features not typically found in monitors priced this affordably�??MDF rather than plastic cabinets, internal acoustic foam for better bass response, custom port design for optimal efficiency and more.

Stereo Auxiliary Input and Headphone Output

For maximum flexibility, we have included a stereo �??Aux�?? input which allows you to plug in a secondary audio source (such as your portable music player) in addition to the main RCA inputs in the back. The volume control works on both inputs simultaneously. Additionally, there is a stereo headphone output next to the �??Aux�?? jack that mutes the sound coming out of the speakers and redirects it to your headphones.

Natural Bass

The custom bass reflex port design discharges very low-frequency signals and delivers a smooth, substantial bass response. Need more? The rear-panel Bass Boost control gives you additional low-frequency gain and makes the monitors versatile for different spaces and listening preferences.

Speaker Stands

High-frequency audio signals tend to be fairly directional. That�??s why we�??ve included stands that help point your StudioPro 3s directly at your ears for an optimal listening �??sweet spot.�??

Enclosure

The StudioPro 3�??s enclosure plays an important role. In order to provide more stable performance, we used a special medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and unique interior reinforcement designed to absorb vibration and impact generated under extreme conditions. Additionally, our innovative cabinet includes carefully placed acoustic material that makes the StudioPro 3s sound much bigger than they are�??resulting in a smooth, natural bass response.

M-Audio BX10s

2008-04-10T02:22:00.001-07:00

BX10s
10�?? composite driver Professional Active Subwoofer

Top Features

10�?? composite driver > full, tight bass response for accurate listening
240-watt internal amplifier > lots of power in a compact, convenient package
variable 50-200Hz crossover > compatible with any direct-field monitor system
subwoofer bypass function > audition how your mixes will sound without a subwoofer
video shielding > for use near CRTs
compact footprint > appropriate for studios with limited space

The BX10s active subwoofer is ideal for any monitoring environment requiring an accurate low-frequency response down to 20Hz. Comprising a 10�?? composite driver, 240-watt internal amplifier, and a variable 50 to 200Hz crossover, the BX10s delivers tight, clean bass in a compact chassis�??perfect for project studios where space is often at a premium. The BX10s is suited perfectly for either two-channel stereo or multichannel surround monitoring environments and is designed to integrate with any powered direct-field studio monitors, including the M-Audio BX5a and BX8a active reference monitors. The BX10s even includes a subwoofer bypass function so you can judge how a mix will sound without a dedicated subwoofer�??controllable via the included sustain pedal.

Serious Low-End to Your Studio

The BX10s active subwoofer delivers the kind of bass response necessary for today�??s music, film, and multimedia projects. Since car and home audio systems have evolved to include subwoofers that reproduce very low frequencies, it has become even more critical that the monitors in your audio production environment reflect these changes. When paired with either the M-Audio BX5a or BX8a active reference monitors, the BX10s becomes part of an integrated system that provides accurate monitoring for the entire 20Hz to 20kHz spectrum.

Active Crossover for Two-Channel Setups

The BX10s accepts the two-channel stereo outputs from your mixer, audio interface or sound card. Then your main monitors connect to the subwoofer�??s outputs. The internal crossover network of the BX10s splits the signal at a user-defined crossover frequency (50-200Hz), routing everything below it to the internal sub and everything above it to the main speakers. This significantly improves fidelity because the components aren�??t tripping over each other to reproduce the same frequency�??and each only has to deliver frequencies to which it is ideally suited. The variable crossover makes it possible to tailor the bass response in your monitoring environment in order to achieve the most accurate acoustic response�??and there are even easy settings for compliance with Dolby Digital®, DTS® and THX® specifications.

Don�??t Strain Your Speakers�??Or Ears

Products like the BX5a and BX8a are designed to work well as full-range monitors. Yet when they reproduce bass-heavy material at high volumes, it can be both taxing on the speakers and fatiguing to the listener. However, when they're used in tandem with the BX10s, the system can comfortably reproduce full-range signals at any volume without stressing the components.

No More Guesswork

A good monitoring system is, by definition, one that allows you to create material that translates well across a variety of playback environments. As such, it's important to know what your mixes will sound like both with and without the low-frequency extension a subwoofer provides. Fortunately, the BX10s includes a subwoofer bypass function that completely removes the subwoofer amp, speaker, and crossover from the signal path�??sending the full-bandwidth program to your direct-field monitors. By plugging the included M-Audio sustain pedal into the footswitch input on the back of the BX10s, you can control this function dynamically as you�??re playing back your material�??even from across the room. With the BX10s temporally bypassed, it becomes easy to judge how a mix will sound in an environment without a dedicated subwoofer.

Plays Well With Others

While the BX10s is designed as a low-frequency complement to the BX5a or BX8a active reference monitors in a professional two-channel or multichannel system, it can integrate easily with any powered direct-field monitors. It's as simple as connecting the cables and adjusting the crossover control as needed.

Studiophile BX8a
8�?? Kevlar drivers

Top Features

two-way magnetically shielded studio reference monitors
130 Watts of bi-amped power
8�?? Kevlar low-frequency drivers
1�?? natural silk high-frequency drivers
XLR balanced and 1/4�?? balanced/unbalanced inputs

Over the years, Studiophile reference monitors have earned a great reputation with recording professionals around the world. The BX8a updates our critically acclaimed BX8 near-fields. Topping the improvements list are our 8�?? curved Kevlar low-frequency drivers�??a technology usually reserved for monitors bearing a higher price tag. Of course, they�??re coupled with our time-proven high-temperature voice coils and damped rubber surrounds for durability and fidelity. Magnetically shielded 1�?? natural silk domes give the BX8s a high-end that�??s both clear and easy on the ears. Custom-tuned crossovers distribute 130 Watts of bi-amplified power for optimal frequency handling by each driver. Hear for yourself why Studiophiles have become �??standard issue�?? reference monitors.

Kevlar LF drivers

To insure a lifetime of service, we constructed the BX8a's 8�?? low-frequency driver from woven Kevlar�??the same material bulletproof vests are made from. (Kevlar is typically reserved for more expensive monitors.) Our engineers also created a curved conical design that improves room dispersion. High-damping rubber surrounds insure that the cone reaches exactly its optimal excursion for accurate reproduction. And our high-temperature voice coils guarantee that your monitors will deliver full performance no matter how many hours you use them.

Silk-dome HF drivers with FerroFlow�?�

Our high-frequency domes are made from natural silk to counter the ringing that is inherent in the stiffer metallic materials common to other monitors. M-Audio's FerroFlow�?� technology uses ferrofluid liquid cooling to dissipate heat for maximum efficiency and extended usage.

Bi-amped efficiency

Active (powered) monitors allow designers to optimize amplification for other components such as speakers and cabinets. And by using two separate power amps and a finely tuned crossover, the BX8a's bi-amped design insures that both the high- and low-frequency drivers are each sent only the frequencies they reproduce most efficiently.

Rear-ported cabinet design

The BX8a's cabinet is integrally designed with its other components for optimal performance�??right down to rounded corners for reduced edge diffraction and superior imaging. Custom rear-port design eliminates the turbulence and resulting distortion caused when front ports project low frequency waves in the same path as the speakers' direct signal.
