Careful acoustic design and the use of advanced
materials contribute to the exceptional music fidelity
and speech intelligibility exhibited by the Mackie
Industrial MR5S (black) and MR5SW (white) two-way
speaker systems.
The shielded low-frequency driver's carbon fiber
diaphragm remains extremely rigid at high power lev-
els, producing a linear response and low distortion.
The cone is fitted with a durable foam surround and
treated to resist moisture. The high-frequency section
features a 105° x 105° constant directivity horn with a
built-in mechanical phase equalizer. The horn is driven
by a Ferrofluid
els, producing a linear response and low distortion.

®
cooled, 0.75" soft dome tweeter.
The system is nominally crossed over at 2.5kHz by
a 12 dB/octave network, which uses markedly lower
(than conventional) inductance values in series with
the woofer. This design reduces sound delays associ-
ated with high inductance values and provides excel-
lent low frequency transient response. The high-pass
section is corrected for optimum performance of the
CD horn and is protected with a circuit based on a low-
value/low-mass filament resistor that smoothly limits
the power sent to the tweeter driver.

All components are housed in a vented enclosure
formed from semi-expanded polystyrene foam that is
extremely strong, lightweight and weather resistant.
Threaded metal sockets are molded into the cabinet
to facilitate quick, safe deployment of the MR5S, as a
single unit or in arrays, using specially designed acces-
sory mounting hardware.
