The MP-240 sits at the point in the range where the driver technology changes, and it is worth understanding why that matters more than a driver count on a spec sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy hybrid rather than two dynamic drivers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MP-240 keeps the same driver count as the MP-220 but swaps one dynamic driver for a balanced armature. Dynamic drivers move more air, which is what low frequencies need. Balanced armatures are far smaller and faster, which suits mids and highs. A custom crossover splits the frequencies between the two so each one only does the job it is good at. Mackie describe the result as stunning clarity and instrument separation for an accurate and punchy monitoring experience, and on stage that separation is the difference between hearing your own vocal and hunting for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and isolation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure is ergonomically molded and low-profile, which gets it deep enough to seal properly without pressing on the ear. That seal is what delivers up to 40 dB of sound isolation, and isolation is what lets you monitor at a sane level instead of chasing the stage volume upwards. Nine sets of ear tips are included, foam, silicone and double flange in small, medium and large, because the seal depends entirely on getting the right tip rather than on the earphone itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCable and connectors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is shielded and braided for durability and sonic performance, and it detaches at an MMCX connector that swivels for comfort and to reduce strain on the joint. Detachable cables matter on in-ear monitors more than on anything else, because the cable is what fails first after a few hundred shows. The over-ear design keeps the monitors securely in place and routes the cable behind your head, out of the way of a mic stand and a guitar strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications and what ships with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrequency response runs 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Impedance is 32 Ohms plus or minus 15 percent, with sensitivity of 94 dB plus or minus 3 dB at 1 mW measured at 1 kHz, so they run happily from a wireless bodypack. A hard case protects them off stage and a gold-plated 1\/8 inch to 1\/4 inch adapter is included for desk and console use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mackie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101083312384,"sku":"MP-240","price":242.2,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/mackie-mp-240-01.jpg?v=1785431749","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/mackie-mp-240-hybrid-dual-driver-professional-in-ear-monitors","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
