Tapco by Mackie S5 Active Studio Monitors

Tapco S5 monitors plainly display Mackie's uncompromising, professional monitor design expertise. Featuring dual 60-watt high-precision internal amplifiers for punchy bass, extremely detailed mids, and a wide, sweet high-end, the "S" in "S5" stands for "superior" to everything in its class. Looking for a bigger, louder 8-inch version with the same acclaimed sound & powerful amplifiers? The new TAPCO S8 is the loudest, most accurate 8" active studio monitor in its class, with a big low-end response. TRS/XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs. Pricing is for a pair.

  • Mackie-designed active desktop monitors with dual high-precision internal amplifiers
  • 5.25-inch woofer delivers punchy bass output and extremely detailed midrange
  • 1-inch waveguide-loaded silk dome tweeter for smooth, non-fatiguing mix sessions
  • Low-Frequency Boost and High-Frequency Boost/Cut controls allow for acoustic tailoring
  • Balanced TRS/XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs

these speakers deliver a very flat response in the near feild. excellent stereo imaging.(It will kinda freak you out the first time you sit in the middle of them) No more trips out to the car and to the home stereo to check the mix! Once you get it sounding good on these your done!
