Review: great monitor for small room - perfect for home studios and small spaces. pretty nice clarity and decent bass, maybe not dead perfect. a lot of people complain about lack of bass from the monitors but personally i think it is pretty good, at least more than decent to hear to make music. pretty cool
Review: Excellent studio monitor speaker. Great bang for buck!! - If I could give 6 stars, I would . I’m designing my work/potting shed and I HAD to have music with some quality volume . I also wanted “book shelf” size for obvious reasons. I have been an audiophile for over 50 years and I know what a good speaker sounds like. For what these cost, I would buy more for other rooms in my home. I bought a $15 blue tooth adapter on here that sends all my music to the speakers. One speaker is powered, with various size in/out puts. That speaker connects to the non-powered speaker via standard R/B speaker wire. The volume can be controlled either by the knob on front of your device , or both . All needed cables and wires are included . I love that I can crank it up and work outside the shed and fully enjoy my music. HIGHLY RECOMMEND⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are they available in solid black? I like the speaker, but really hate the green. The neon green is a total deal-breaker.**
A: They are not available in black. But if it's the green you do not like just get a liquid black paint marker and paint it. They are great monitors and they can get loud.

**Q: How can i get rid of this hiss? i have these monitors connected via rca-1/4 through a 6 channel mixer. the hiss comes and goes but it’s loud.**
A: Same happened to me the hisss is too loud. No way to get rid of it, i returned immediately.

**Q: Do these have the switch that malfunctions after one year and causes the speakers to catch on fire? Or did they fix that problem?**
A: The speakers don’t have this problem.

**Q: Has anyone used thes with electronic drums?**
A: Don’t do it if you’re thinking of playing live with them .  If you’re playing back something you’ve recorded then ok.  You would need to compress the drums and have a subwoofer to get it close to useable live.  Use headphones or a pa speaker made for live instruments.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall - its fine!
*by M***1 on 5 April 2024*

Designed to be flexible, works as expected, sound could be a little more refined but no real complaints, would recommend this. I wish Mackie would have provided a pair of ¼ inch cables tho' as standard. I had to spend money on this, and if you have an audio interface, that's almost a given, so do factor in the cost of that if you do decide to purchase this.
