Mackie MP-360 Triple Balanced Armature Professional In-Ear Monitors
The MP-360 is the all balanced armature model in Mackie's MP range. Where the MP-320 uses dynamic drivers behind its 3-way crossover, the MP-360 runs three balanced armature drivers from Knowles, which is what gives it the imaging and separation vocalists ask for when they need to hear themselves clearly.
- Triple balanced armature drivers from Knowles, custom designed for the MP Series
- Precision 3-way crossover for balanced sound across the whole frequency range
- Up to 40dB of sound isolation from the ergonomically molded low-profile enclosure
- Clear enclosure for a streamlined look on stage
- Shielded braided cable with a detachable MMCX connector that swivels for comfort and durability
- Over-ear routing that keeps the monitors seated and the cable behind your head
- 4 ear tip types in 3 sizes, foam, silicone, wide-bore silicone and triple flange in small, medium and large
- Frequency response: 20 Hz-20 kHz
- Impedance: 15 Ohms plus or minus 15%
- Sensitivity: 117dB plus or minus 3dB at 1mW, 1kHz
- Included: hard molded case, gold-plated 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch adapter, extra braided cable with in-line remote, cleaning tool and cleaning cloth
In-ear monitors live or die on what the drivers do. The MP-360 is the model in the MP Series where Mackie went all balanced armature, three drivers per side sourced from Knowles, with a precision 3-way crossover splitting the work between them.
Why triple balanced armature
Balanced armature drivers are fast and precise, and running three of them across a 3-way crossover keeps the response balanced from the bottom to the top rather than letting one driver stretch across the whole range. The result Mackie is after is breathtaking imaging and separation with full-spectrum clarity, and it shows up most clearly for vocalists who need their own voice and the band mix rendered faithfully.
Fit and isolation
The enclosure is ergonomically molded and low profile, which is what allows up to 40dB of isolation and supports the bass response. Four types of ear tip are supplied, foam, silicone, wide-bore silicone and triple flange, each in small, medium and large, so the seal is something you dial in rather than hope for. The clear housing keeps the on-stage look discreet.
