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. All-wood cabinets add warmth and natural resonance.

Control it

WRight 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

Standard models come equipped with both 1/4″ and RCA inputs plus a 1/8″ Aux In. Bluetooth models add, you guessed it, Bluetooth!

The Mackie CR4 4″ Woofer Creative Reference Multimedia Monitors (Pair) are a compact and portable solution for providing audio playback in home and studio environments. They’re designed for multimedia work such as mixing music or post-production sound design. The pair consists of one passive speaker and one Class-AB powered speaker that connect with an included stereo cable. The monitors use 4″ polypropylene-coated woofers with a rear port tube for the low end, and 0.75″ silk dome tweeters for the highs to deliver a frequency response of 60 Hz to 20 kHz with a maximum SPL of 100 dB.

A switch allows you to select whether the powered speaker will function as the left or right speaker. This is helpful when having to position the speakers near power outlets or when deciding which side is preferable for the volume knob. A front-panel, LED power-ring illuminated on/off switch and volume knob allows you to control level. A dedicated front-panel headphone jack defeats the main speaker output and can be used to expand the system’s monitoring versatility.

A front-panel 3.5mm stereo input and included 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable allows you to connect your smartphone or other mobile device directly to the monitors. Other equipment such as audio interfaces, CD players, or mixers, can be connected to the rear panel’s 1/4″ TRS, 3.5mm TRS, or RCA inputs.

The monitors come with a 3.5mm stereo to RCA cable for connecting to a computer. Also included are isolation pads for reducing the transmission of structural vibrations and for allowing the monitors to be tilted slightly up or down for a better listening angle. The CR4 features a download of ProTools | First and The Musician’s Collection plug-in package.
