MACKIE CR5BT - 5" Self-Powered Studio Monitors with Bluetooth

MACKIE CR5BT – 5" Self-Powered Studio Monitors with Bluetooth

The Mackie CR5BT Creative Reference 5" loudspeakers combine 100W RMS of total power with a 5" polypropylene-coated woofer and a 1" silk dome tweeter, delivering a wide response from 50Hz to 20kHz and a maximum SPL of 105dB. Thanks to the built-in high-efficiency Class-D amplifier, they deliver clear, dynamic sound without the need for external processors. The convenient tone-shaping knob allows you to switch from neutral studio playback to progressive bass and treble boost, ideal for mixing, multimedia, gaming or party mode. The Desktop/Bookshelf placement switch optimizes acoustic dispersion according to the listening position, while Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity facilitates wireless streaming from mobile phones and computers. With analog inputs (2x balanced/unbalanced TRS, 2x RCA, 1x 3.5mm jack) and a front-facing headphone output that automatically mutes the speakers, the CR5BT offers plug & play versatility for any creative or leisure environment.
