Mackie Car Speaker MR5S User Manual

MR5S  
Compact Two-Way Speaker  
Monitor Series  
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  
MR5WS  
®
by a Ferrofluid 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.

Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications  
The two-way loudspeaker system shall be self-contained  
and consist of the following components: (1) a low-frequency  
driver; (2) a constant directivity horn driven by a dome tweet-  
er driver; (3) a two-way crossover network; (4) a vented enclo-  
sure.  
The low-frequency transducer shall be a cone type loud-  
speaker having a carbon fiber cone with a diameter of at  
least 5 inches (130mm). The cone shall be fitted with a high  
compliance foam surround and treated to resist moisture. It  
shall have a voice coil that is at least 1 inch in diameter and  
present a nominal 8-ohm load impedance to the crossover  
network.  
(continued Architects’ & Engineers’ Specs)  
The loudspeaker system shall have an overall frequency  
response of at least 65Hz–20kHz when measured to –10 dB  
and at least 100Hz–19kHz when measured to –3 dB. It shall  
have a nominal average coverage pattern of at least 105°  
horizontal by 105° vertical to –6 dB when measured between  
800Hz and 16kHz. Calculated 1W/1m sensitivity shall be at  
least 87 dB when measured in the far field between 300Hz  
and 3kHz. Maximum SPL shall be at least 112 dB at 1m.  
The loudspeaker shall be rated for continuous operation at  
175W IEC with 700W peaks.  
The two-way loudspeaker system shall be a model MR5S  
(MR5SW - white) manufactured by Mackie Industrial.  
The high-frequency section shall consist of a constant

eter of at least 0.75 inches (19mm). Its voice coil shall be  
®
treated with Ferrofluid to aid in cooling. It shall present a  
nominal 8-ohm load impedance to the crossover network.  
The constant directivity horn shall have an integral phase  
correcting mechanical equalizer.

and equalization for the constant directivity horn. The nomi-  
nal crossover frequency shall be 2.5kHz. The low-pass sec-  
tion of the network shall have minimum inductance in series

tection circuit based on a low-value, low-mass filament resis-  
tor shall limit the current available to the high-frequency driv-  
er. The crossover network shall present a nominal 4-ohm load  
impedance to the power amplifier.  
The enclosure shall be a vented design. It shall be con-  
structed using high density polystyrene and finished with
