With the rear of the driver vented to the room, there is no small sealed chamber behind the diaphragm colouring the low end and no pressure build-up narrowing the image. The MC-450 is Mackie's open-back model, built for the part of the job where accuracy matters more than keeping sound in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-headroom, reference-quality 42 mm transducers cover 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Mackie's stated aim is an accurate reproduction of your mix and your music, with incredible clarity that translates every detail without sounding harsh or artificial, and the open-back design is what produces the wide soundstage that comes with it. In practice that means reverb tails, panning decisions and depth are easier to judge, because the stereo field is not being squeezed into the space between your ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to use them and where not to\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese suit mixing, critical listening and studio work where you are alone with the monitor path. They also make sense for personal listening on a good source. What an open-back cannot do is keep a click track out of a vocal mic, so for tracking in the same room as a live microphone the closed-back MC Series models remain the right tool. At 54 Ohms and 101 dB sensitivity, the MC-450 drives comfortably from an interface headphone output or a dedicated amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComfort and build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA premium leather adjustable headband and memory foam ear pads carry the 350 g weight over hours rather than minutes, which is the practical measure of a mixing headphone. Mackie build the MC-450 to meet the demands of professionals in the studio or on location, so the construction is rugged rather than delicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCables and case\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree cables ship with the MC-450, all using locking bayonet connectors so they cannot pull free mid-session. There is a 9.8 ft fabric-jacketed straight cable for desk work, a 4 ft coiled cable for moving around, and a 4 ft straight cable with phone control and mic for use with a phone or laptop. A gold-plated 1\/4 inch adapter and a premium protective case are included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mackie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101083083008,"sku":"MC-450","price":242.2,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/mackie-mc-450-01.jpg?v=1785431741","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/mackie-mc-450-professional-open-back-studio-headphones","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
