以下是各大雜誌的評鑑報告：

"監聽喇叭有其限制"這件事是沒有秘密的。要在一個不理想的空間創造一個準確的聆聽環境可以說是一種令人氣結的困境  — 逼近喇叭以及音量控制對不好的環境來說改善有限。 在此前提下，我期待來測試通過THX認證的 Mackie HR624種動是監聽喇叭以及 HRS120超低音喇叭 。

The HR624簡單來說，就是HR824的縮小版，它們使用的元件以及材料都相同，不過HR624看來更針對小型的Project Studio，以及 5.1 與 7.1聲道的監聽應用。HR624使用雙擴大機設計，40瓦必v推１吋的鋁製高音，100瓦必v則提供給6.7的低音。內部的分音點是在3,000 Hz。 背板控制包括靈敏度、80Hz高通分音、±2dB高頻滑落以及因應不同空間調整低頻響應的可選擇空間控制開關 。載明的頻率響應是50 to 20k Hz， 最大輸出為112 dB。每只６２４重量為25英鎊，面板另有Mute開關以及相關的 LED指示燈。

HRS120介紹(略)

我在家裡的Project Studio架設起HR624/HRS120，是一個12×12×8(呎)的臥室以及一些空間處理，我將HR624用喇叭架架起到與眼同高.......

很幸運的，在我測試這喇叭之前我已經在Morning Wood Studio花了幾個小時聽過一些Pelonis Signature Series的主喇叭，當我將聲音餵給624，然後我啟動624，我立刻被它的清晰度以及準確度感動，經過之前小時在專業錄音室聆聽特殊設計的高檔監聽喇叭之後，HR624即使只是在我的工作室，聽起來也是一樣非常正確，它的聲音很緊實、沒有染色以及不會導致疲勞 (對於近場監聽來說這算是個奇蹟).....

我利用它來為我手上還未結束的作品工作，我把一些有問題混音播放，從失真的鼓組以及合成Bass音色，到直接為修飾的Vocal以及吉他。Mackie再一次的正確的反應出結果，而且這些混音的內容我是在不同的環境收音的，但是我使用624來設定卻是覺得非常輕鬆，使我開始開始有些想要用624來取代我現在使用的監聽喇叭

對於在Project Studio工作或是多媒體應用的人來說，,HR624提供你正確以及未經染色的音像....

HR624 每一個定價US$649美金

Finally the HR824 has a little brother and, like most little brothers, this one has both attitude and confidence!

Mackie's HR824 active monitor was their first foray into studio monitoring, but it soon became a highly respected member of the monitoring community, not least because of its good price/performance ratio.（以上是對HR824歌功頌德) 現在，HR624也緊隨其後，類似的2音路主動式設計，針對需要較小跟必v稍微少點的監聽喇叭使用者，但是仍具備HR家族的聲音。HR824具備有8.75吋的低音單體.......HR624則是使用6.7吋的防磁低音喇叭........

Mackie HR624 £1047 pros 對於多數Project Studio來說具備清楚以及細節的音色足夠的低頻延伸。 良好的立體音像. 能針對不同空間以及聆聽者做調整 防磁設計. cons None at the price summary The HR624are compact, accurate enough for serious monitoring and sensibly priced in the UK given the quality of their performance.

Power switches and status LEDs (for power and the electronic driver protection system) are located on the front panel, while around the back is a gain trim and four slide switches. There's a choice of balanced jack and XLR inputs, as well as an unbalanced RCA phono, and power comes in via an IEC mains cable.

The rightmost slide switch is a three-way power switch to select on, off or auto, the latter mode being activated by the presence of an audio signal. In auto mode, the speakers go back into standby mode after five minutes of continuous silence. Next comes high-frequency adjustment, providing the option of 2dB cut or boost as well as a flat position. The third switch sets the bass cutoff frequency to either 47Hz or 80Hz, while the switch labelled Acoustic Space is designed to compensate for positioning relative to room boundaries. Because very low frequencies radiate in all directions, the low-frequency energy is effectively spread out over a full 360 degrees, so having reflective boundaries close to the speakers affects their performance. If there are no nearby boundaries, the speakers are said to be working in full-space mode, whereas if you placed them directly in front of a wall, they would be working in half space mode and half the low-frequency energy would be reflected back in the direction of the listener, effectively doubling the bass output. To compensate for half-space placement, the bass end needs to be dropped by 2-3dB in practice, so a 2dB cut position is provided. Quarter-space conditions occur when a monitor is placed in a corner, which isn't usually ideal. Here the bass level doubles yet again, so a 4dB cut position is also available. Both filters roll off at 50Hz.

如同我所使用的HR824一樣，中頻以及高頻是清晰而富含細節，低頻被非常的結實的控制， Vocals聽起來清楚而自然，所有的混音都顯露出細節、完整以及不混淆的低頻。 優異的立體音像聽起來好像比HR824還要好。HR624具備與824相同的漂亮音色 ，也釣S有這麼大的低頻延伸，但是仍然聽起來結實而清晰。.

Mackie's HR624 powered studio monitors build on the success of the company's HR824 monitors, which were immediately successful due to their accurate response, wide dispersion, and affordability. The HR624 is smaller, designed primarily for use with a subwoofer and in multichannel monitoring setups. But don't let the smaller size fool you — the HR624 also delivers great sound in a standalone stereo setup.

The HR624 is not simply a smaller version of its predecessor: it has been modified to optimize its sound quality. One of the benefits gained from the new design is a more accurate transient response. Also, the cabinet is not being pushed to the limit to reproduce low frequencies. Overall, this yields a more accurate midrange response; inaccurate midrange response was one of the few criticisms I had of the original HR824. When used without a subwoofer, the HR624 still disperses a smooth, accurate frequency response from top to bottom. However, the bass frequencies obviously don't dive as low as the original HR824.

Mackie provides several options for customizing the monitor's response in order to complement the monitor's location in your listening environment. A three-position switch allows you to tailor the bass response by cutting either 2 dB (which helps if your monitors are against a wall) or 4 dB (which helps if your monitors are in the corners of your room) at 400 Hz and below. The low-frequency rolloff filter can be switched to 49 Hz (normal) or 80 Hz (THX mode). Additionally, the three-position high-frequency switch allows you to boost or cut the treble response by 2 dB at 10 kHz.

The HR624 has XLR, ¼-inch, and RCA inputs to accommodate a wide variety of setups, and the input sensitivity control allows you to tweak the basic volume response of the monitors to your liking. I wish that the input sensitivity pot were notched and better marked — that would make it easier to match levels between speakers.

An auto-on power mode allows the HR624 to sleep when it is idle for more than eight minutes. That conserves power and reduces heat buildup in your room. The amplifier wakes up when audio signals are detected at the input.

YOUR HARSHEST CRITIC

As I mentioned before, the HR624 provides a smooth frequency response from top to bottom. According to the response graph in the manual, the HR624 is nearly ruler-flat from 60 Hz to 20 kHz, and the manufacturer says it tests each speaker to make sure it has an accurate response before shipping. The goal is to make it possible for any two HR624s to be put together for critical monitoring without the user having to spend time searching for a matched pair.

Specs aside, the HR624 sounds great. With new monitors, I typically begin by listening to a wide variety of very familiar prerecorded material. I was very happy with my findings, as all of the material that was well recorded sounded excellent on the HR624s. But what I loved about the HR624s was that the marginally recorded material did not sound great — exactly what I want from a set of monitors.(我很高興的發現所有錄音不錯的作品在624上面都聽起來很優秀，不過我喜愛624的原因倒是在這些以外的作品聽起來就不這麼好聽--正是我希望監聽喇叭所擁有的)。

Monitors that make everything sound great are not what you want in the studio. You need to hear the flaws, frequency imbalances, compression artifacts, and so on without a speaker covering up these sins. As it turns out, the HR624 is not a forgiving monitor.

對監聽喇叭來說，放什麼都好聽不是你在錄音室想要的，你需要聽出來瑕疵、頻率的不平衡以及壓縮的加工...等，不會想要一個喇叭會將這些罪惡遮掩起來，以這來看的話，HR624不是一對"慈悲"的喇叭。

For example, I rushed out to buy the new album from a very successful crossover country artist I work with occasionally, but I was disappointed as soon as I heard the CD. The HR624s revealed just how overcompressed either the mixing or the mastering was, which killed all the vocal dynamics that I know this artist has.

舉例來說，我搶購了一個非常成功的跨界鄉村藝人的新專輯，我偶爾與他工作過，但是當我一聽到CD的時候我覺得有些失望，HR624顯示了它的混音或是母帶處理有些過分壓縮，它將所有我所認識這個vocal的動態都抹煞了。

Further listening tests revealed more of the same: if a record was well recorded and mixed, the HR624s sounded stunning. On the flip side, I easily heard bad balances; overuse of de-essing, compression and EQ; and sloppy editing on a number of commercial CD releases. I'm sure they sound fine on the radio or on car speakers, but the HR624s revealed flaws I had never heard before on these familiar recordings.

When put to the test on my own material, the HR624s were equally brutal. True to form, the good stuff sounded good and the bad stuff sounded bad. Over the course of a few projects with quick deadlines, I had an initial tendency to rely on my older, more familiar monitors, working on the Mackies only occasionally. It was a little disconcerting at times: I would be quite happy with the way a mix was progressing on my other sets of monitors, but when I would pop the mix over to the HR624s, my heart would sink. The mix would pretty much stink, and I knew that I still had a lot of work ahead.

As I became comfortable with the HR624s and started to rely on them more, my mixes got better. The trade-off was that I had to work a little longer and harder to get them right, but I never experienced a situation where mixes that sounded good on the HR624s did not sound good on other monitors.(我從來沒有碰到過在HR624上面聽起來不錯的混音在其他喇叭上會聽起來不好) In fact, I found that minor tweaks that were necessary while listening to the HR624s were sometimes largely unnoticeable on other speakers. Again, that's the way I like it.

I've now settled into a critical-mixing system using the HR624s, an alternate set of midfields, a pair of Apple powered speakers, and a mono cube. When I get a mix that sounds good on all four setups, I know I have a mix that will translate well pretty much everywhere.

現在我使用HR624來當作我的鑑聽混音系統，還有另一組中型喇叭、一對Apple主動式喇叭以及一組單音Cube喇叭，當我在這四組喇叭上面混出來的聲音都不錯，我知道這個混音不論在哪裡都會表現得不錯。

SOUND FOUNDATION

Mackie has yet another winner on its hands. I have come to depend on the HR624s as a dose of sobering medicine with my mixes. When a mix sounds great on the HR624s, it's usually a good sign. When it sounds bad, it's time to roll up my sleeves and keep working.

As a standalone set of stereo speakers, the HR624s are great. Add the HRS120 subwoofer and you have a fully professional mixing setup. Add three more speakers, and you have a fantastic surround-mixing environment.
