The MR4 is the pair of small white speakers on our light wood desk. They are 4 inch two-way monitors with 21 W + 21 W RMS, tuned flat enough for light editing yet pleasant for everyday music thanks to a switchable music mode.
You get balanced TRS inputs for an audio interface, plus RCA and a front AUX input for a laptop or phone, and a front headphone output. There is no Bluetooth, so plan on a cable.
Where it sits in real desks, and why it earned its place there.
Why it is here
A small white pair of powered monitors that fits either side of the screen, with balanced TRS, RCA and AUX inputs and a front headphone jack for when the room must stay quiet. There is no Bluetooth, so the laptop plugs in by cable.
