Product information

General

Thanks to their 5-inch woofers, Mackie's CR5BT monitors are ideal for post-production jobs, such as audio and video editing. Like all models from the CR series, they also feature 0.75-inch silk dome tweeters that reproduce your trebles with optimal clarity. What really makes the CR5BT monitor speakers unique, however, is their speaker placement switch, which allows you to decide which side of your setup has volume control.

The Mackie CR5BT: Easy Bluetooth Pairing

Mackie's CR5BT monitors are easily paired up with any Bluetooth device, and the Bluetooth LED on the front panel keeps you informed of the status of your connection. Bluetooth is a great way of streaming audio from smartphones, tablets and other sources that support this technology. Whether you want to check out a reference mix or simply listen to your favourite music or videos, these Mackie monitor speakers make it all exceedingly simple. Would you like to listen to an audio source that doesn't support Bluetooth? No problem, just plug it into the monitor's front-mounted aux input.

Bridging the gap

With their CR5BT monitors, Mackie are effectively bridging the gap between home use and serious studio applications. In essence, Mackie have combined the best of their CR3 and CR4 series, and topped that off with Bluetooth functionality, applying the popular 'less is more' motto to studio wiring. The CR5BTs are equipped with high-grade audio components and, unlike most other monitors in the same price range, they have a housing made of wood.

Mackie CR5BT Bluetooth Creative Reference Set

Très bonne paire d'enceinte, bon rapport qualité prix. Les basses prédominent un peu trop à mon goût mais ce matériel fait le boulot pour un bureau ou du monitoring. Excellent en Bluetooth.

Mackie CR5BT Bluetooth Creative Reference Set

Goedkope boxjes maar eigenlijk niet goed genoeg voor muziekproductie. Laagste frequenties zijn volgens de specificaties 70 hz maar zelfs dat haalt tie niet en daarmee is het gat naar 40 hz erg groot. Je wordt dus al snel gedwongen nog een subwoofer bij aan te schaffen voor het echte baswerk wat voor menig EDM producer erg belangrijk is.

Maximum watt peak zit op 110 watt. Dat is vrij laag voor een geluidspiek. Een beetje snare of kick pakt in zijn piek al snel richting de 150 watt of meer. Geluid zal dus snel distorten.
