Gearank High Notes

The MR10Smk3 attests to Mackie's foothold in the recording and sound reinforcement market, with its high ratings and bulk of recommendations. This subwoofer features a bigger 10" glass-aramid composite driver that is powered by a 120W amp, designed to handle the bottom frequencies, effectively freeing up your main monitors to handle the mid to high frequencies. Other features include vibration absorbing rubber feet, soft-mesh grille cloth and switchable polarity and crossover.

Pros

Almost all reviewers are convinced that the Mackie MR10Smk3 is an excellent subwoofer for the price. And since it is within the entry level price range, most of the reviews came from first time subwoofer users who were very satisfied with the big difference that this subwoofer made to their monitoring experience.

Cons

There weren't that many complaints from users, but there were a few users who reported having repair and replacement issues a little earlier than expected.

Overall
