Mackie HR8-24 Monitors - What settings? Hi ,
I was curious regarding the Bass roll off switch.
For regular mixing I keep the Bass freq switch in the middle. For playback I will switch it to 37Hz.
It of course has the NS-10 simulation roll off as well at respectfuly 80Hz.
My qestion is should I be mixing in the standard setting at 47Hz , or use the more trastic 80Hz?
I never seemed to have problems for 15 years useing the NS-10s , as far as getting a good mix to the source.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Peace to the Engineers on this Globe!

Re: Mackie HR8-24 Monitors - What settings? Hi Jay ,
Is it not more ideal to "Mix" in the 47hz setting?
that is what I mix at now , then set the bass freq to the more prefrable 37hz.
How is that?
Peace!

That actually makes sense w/ the Mackies, the bass is too hyped & unnatural on those things. I'll be sure to try it the next time I'm forced to use them.

Re: Mackie HR8-24 Monitors - What settings? Eric,
Do you not care for the mackies?
What are your feelings on the monitors?
Peace.

Re: Mackie HR8-24 Monitors - What settings? I actually thought the bass was a little hyped on these as well, when I first got them, but then I moved them out into a larger room, and they got really natural in the bottom end. I think they've got more extension than most anything their size, and are more likely to highlight extreme low end problems in a room that other small monitors just aren't going to reveal.

Re: Mackie HR8-24 Monitors - What settings? Hi Jon,
My set up goes like this: My monitors are on a shelf behind the board agaist the wall of a thick oak Hutch.
They are close up agaist the wall, but I am in a small area so the best I can do is set the "Half space."
Are you saying then that the monitors sound better with nothing behind them? (Bass responce wise)
Cheers,
