MACKIE CRDV - Triple Volume Control for CR-X Series

The Mackie CRDV is a desktop volume controller designed for the CR-X series of active monitors and the CR8S-XBT subwoofer. It allows independent adjustment of the level of the main monitors, subwoofer, and overall volume from three dedicated potentiometers, all via a 1/4″ connector cable for direct connection to the subwoofer. With its compact chassis and black finish, it facilitates quick and ergonomic control without the need to access the back of the equipment.

Main features

• Triple control: independent potentiometers for Monitors, Subwoofer and Master Volume.
• Integrated connection: fixed cable with ¼″ (6.35 mm) male connector for direct plug into the CRDV jack of the CR8S-XBT subwoofer.
• Desktop design: compact and stable format, ideal for studios and multimedia setups.
• Compatibility: CR-X series of active multimedia monitors (CR3-X, CR4-X, CR5-X, CR8-X, CR3-XBT, CR5-XBT) and CR8S-XBT subwoofer.
• Durable Finish: Reinforced plastic chassis in matte black, resistant to daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I need an adapter? No, it connects directly to the CRDV jack on your CR-X subwoofer or monitor using the included ¼″ connector.
• Does it work with monitors without a subwoofer? Yes, it directly controls the CR-X monitors and the overall volume; the subwoofer knob will have no effect if no subwoofer is connected.
• Can I put it in a rack? It's designed for desktop use; for a rack, you'd need a shelf or surface tray.
• How long is the cable? Approximately 1.5 m of fixed cable with a ¼″ male connector.
