Since most folks can't actually mix in a great room....or at least not tune their room really well I suggest you use the the switches on the back of the 824's to tune to your room, they will work wonders for your mixes and that is why Mackie (and others) put them there.


BTW...824 are not bass heavy (although they CAN boost bass if you set them up that way)...many people simply use them in incorrectly or have them set up wrong. They do not sound great...and are not that fun to listen to material on IME...But mixes translate well...That is thier strength. You pick what's important to you.

Besides..a 'bass heavy' sound doesn't prompt you to reach for highs...A 'dull' sound does which is a converter issue and room issue IMO.

I agree with Jose also....Leave the top end for the master buss...I think getting mixes should be fun for the ME...

Peace and Respect,
