Mackie CR5BT

Description

Mackie CR5BT: Bluetooth-Ready 5-Inch Monitors for Your Creative Desk The Mackie CR5BT is a pair of 5-inch multimedia studio monitors with Bluetooth, pairing a 5-inch woofer and a 0.75-inch silk-dome tweeter for a full-range 60 Hz to 20 kHz response that stays honest from a whisper to a wall of sound. One cabinet houses the amplifier and drives its passive partner, so a single power cord and one included speaker cable set up your whole stereo field. For the producer, gamer, or content creator building a desk that has to sound as good as it looks, the CR5BT is the moment your mixes and your movies finally come alive. One Powered Cabinet, One Clean Stereo Field The CR5BT ships as a matched pair - one active monitor with the built-in stereo amplifier and all the controls, and one passive monitor it powers through a single included speaker cable. That keeps only one power outlet in use and puts every knob within reach on the front and rear of the active cabinet. A 0.75-inch silk-dome tweeter and a 5-inch polypropylene-coated woofer are tuned together in a ported wood cabinet so the low end stays tight and the highs stay smooth across the full 60 Hz to 20 kHz range. Tune the Sound to Your Room Two features let you dial the CR5BT into any space. The Tone Control shifts the voicing from warm to bright so you can compensate for a boomy desk or a dead, carpeted room, and the Location Switch re-tunes the low end depending on whether the monitors sit out in the open or up against a wall where bass naturally builds. Together they mean the same monitors that flatten out a bedroom studio can also stay accurate on a crowded content-creation desk. Every Source, Wired or Wireless Bluetooth streaming pulls reference tracks, backing beats, or a movie soundtrack straight off a phone or laptop with no cable at all. When you need a hard connection, the rear panel takes balanced 1/4-inch TRS from an interface, unbalanced RCA from a mixer or turntable preamp, and a 3.5-mm input from a laptop or console. A front-panel 3.5-mm aux input and headphone output let you plug in and monitor privately without reaching behind the speakers. Studio Looks, Studio Build The CR5BT wraps its acoustics in an all-wood cabinet with a brushed-metal-effect front and Mackie's signature green trim, so it earns its place on a desk that doubles as a camera backdrop. The front-firing controls, professional-grade drivers, and rigid ported enclosure are built to run all day, whether you are tracking vocals in the morning or streaming a game at night. Who the CR5BT Is For Music producers mixing in a home studio, streamers and podcasters who need clean playback on camera, gamers chasing immersive stereo, and anyone upgrading from tinny computer speakers reach for the CR5BT as an all-in-one desktop system. With Bluetooth, multiple wired inputs, and room-tuning controls in a compact 5-inch pair, it is the monitor set that handles music, video, and games without ever leaving your desk.
