Sleek cosmetics
With a brushed metal grille and outlined design, your CR-X monitors will stand out and make a statement, like 'I'm kind of a big deal' or 'Hey, look at my cool speakers.'
Studio-quality sound
Premium woofers and tweeters are powered by high-headroom amplifiers for clear, punchy sound. The all-wood cabinet adds warmth and natural resonance.
Control it
Right there on the front panel is a convenient knob that functions as your power switch as well as your volume. On the rear, there's a handy switch that lets you decide which side of the desk you want that volume control on.
Flexible inputs
CR-XBT monitors accept inputs from dual 1/4" stereo and dual RCA stereo as well as Bluetooth streaming.
Got headphones?
Located at the bottom of the front panel is a headphone output. This is great for when you want to reference on headphones or when you don't want to bother anyone else in the room. Plugging in headphones automagically turns off the speaker output. It really is that easy, really.
Bluetooth streaming
Bluetooth connectivity makes it even easier to listen to your music when you want it. When you want to pair your device, just hold down the Mackie 'running man' on the front panel – it's ok, he won't mind.
DAW + plug-in bundle included
Waveform OEM is easy enough for beginners yet sophisticated enough for experienced musicians. Included with this software is the DAW Essentials Collection of plug-ins to enhance your recordings.
Get that rumble
It's time to celebrate: the CR-X series now has a matching subwoofer, Mackie CR8S-XBT (optional, sold separately). A 200W amplifier and high-output 8" woofer delivers that big bottom end you've been looking for. Included in the box is the CRDV desktop remote, which gives you a volume knob for your subwoofer and monitors right on your... desk. It's also equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, which means you can hook this sub up to any pair of monitors and instantly have a system you can stream to.
