Mackie CR4-XBT Active Studio Monitor (Set of 2)

General

If you're starting to make content or you're tinkering with audio production in general, it makes no difference how good your hi-fi speakers are, they're not going to give you an accurate image of what your mix is actually doing. This is where a great entry-level set of studio monitors will make all the difference. The Mackie CR4-XBT monitors give you nothing but solid, Mackie-grade sound to give your music production, podcast, or YouTube content that bit more finesse.

The Mackie CR4-XBT Active Studio Monitor

Mackie are already known for offering professional audio gear at a price that makes it a little more attainable for the producer on a budget. The monitors they produce run as smoothly as clockwork (exactly what you want from your studio tools), come with a durable build, and usually have tight look. This pair of Mackie CR4-XBTs is no exception and offers detailed, neutral audio reproduction for both the casual and serious listener, gamer, or musician. Since these monitors are active, no external amplifier is needed to run them. Simply hook up a computer, phone, tablet, audio interface, or other audio-based gear preference and hit play. The built in amplifier of the CR4 even provides wireless Bluetooth playback.

With ProTools First Professional Recording Software

Along with this set of monitors, Mackie throw in a free copy of ProTools First Professional recording software plus a plug-in package, so you can start weaving tracks immediately. ProTools has been the professional standard for studios for decades already and offers a smooth and intuitive recording, editing, and mixing interface. This pack comes with 23 high-quality audio-plug-ins, including 304E EQ, BBD Delay, Eleven Lite and 304C Compressor.
