Mackie CR8BT 8" Powered Studio Monitors with Tone Control and Bluetooth®

Your work and play speakers

Shape the sound of the Mackie CR8BT studio monitors on the fly. Mix a podcast episode, listen to music, or DJ a house party with the same set of compact speakers.

Content creation and gaming

Add a pair of creative reference monitors to your setup for immersive sound you can adjust to your liking. Connect the speakers to your gaming PC, audio interface, or mainstream streaming interface, then adjust the tone knob until you hear the full impact of every footstep, line of dialogue, and epic soundtrack moment.

Music production

CR8BT studio monitors deliver the clear, accurate sound you need to produce and record music. With the tone knob turned fully left, you get a flat frequency response for tracking and mixing. Turn the knob to the right for more bass and high-end sparkle.

Casual listening

When your space serves as an office, recording studio, streaming room, living area, and more, you need speakers that can do it all. CR Series monitors feature versatile tools such as a tone control knob and a location switch, allowing you to quickly adjust your listening experience to suit the situation.

Control your sound and placement

Tone control: Use the tone control knob to shape the sound, starting with the transparent response expected from studio monitors. Turn the knob gradually to boost the bass and add high-end sparkle, making CR8BT suitable for immersive gaming, casual listening, or parties.

Location switch: Flip between desktop speaker mode and bookshelf speaker mode to optimize CR8BT for its placement. Use desktop mode for close-up listening, such as in the studio, and bookshelf mode for listening at a distance, such as from the couch.

All the ins and outs

Connect audio interfaces, mixers, record players, and other playback devices using TRS, RCA, and 3.5 mm inputs. Switch to headphones via the built-in headphone output. Connecting headphones mutes the speaker audio for quiet listening.

Wireless streaming with Bluetooth®

Enjoy flexible wireless streaming with Bluetooth®. Press the Bluetooth® icon on the front of the powered speaker to pair smartphones, laptops, and other compatible devices for studio-quality sound.
