Mackie CR-X Monitors – Studio Sound for Everyone

Mackie have spent years developing a multitude of products that hit the sweet spot in bringing professional-grade gear and performance to an attainable, budget price point.

Their CR-X Series Creative Reference Monitors are absolutely no different. Stunning looks, studio-quality sound, and convenient features make these a fantastic choice for anyone that wants professional sound without breaking the bank.

What Makes Them Great?

A Variety of Inputs

Each model includes 1/4”, 1/8”, and RCA inputs, and, of course, the BT models include Bluetooth connectivity!

Sleek Design

A brushed metal grille, and an outlined design sets these monitors apart, and will leave them standing out in any setting.

Professional Sound

With all-wood cabinets, which encase premium woofers and tweeters, all powered by high-headroom amplifiers, the CR-X Series delivers a clean, punchy sound.

Easy Control

A dual-function Power/Volume knob means you have direct access to quick control of the speakers.

The Line-Up

Also available with Bluetooth (CR3-XBT), the CR3-X produces 50W of power through a 3″ poly-propolene coated woofer and a .75″ ferrofluid-cooled silk-dome tweeter.

Also available with Bluetooth (CR4-XBT), the CR4-X produces 50W of power through a 4″ poly-propolene coated woofer and a .75″ ferrofluid-cooled silk-dome tweeter.

Also available with Bluetooth (CR5-XBT), the CR5-X produces 80W of power through a 5″ poly-propolene coated woofer and a .75″ ferrofluid-cooled silk-dome tweeter.

The CR8-XBT produces 160W of power through a 8″ poly-propolene coated woofer and a .75″ ferrofluid-cooled silk-dome tweeter.

The CR8S-XBT Subwoofer produces 200W of power through a 8″ poly-propolene coated woofer, and includes a desktop remote with which you can control your entire audio system.

In late 2021 Mackie rethought their approach to creative reference monitoring with the CR-Stealthbar. High-quality audio that fits under your monitor. USB, Bluetooth, 3.5mm… it’s your call.

Like the rest of the CR Series, StealthBar shares Mackie’s acoustic design and tuning pedigree. Tuned for crisp highs, clear midrange, and punchy bass, the Stealthbar brings the powerful live sound and studio experience to a form factor that fit under your monitor for more cramped desks.
