The complete Bluetooth package

The Mackie CR5 BT Gen 3 is a compact active monitor system designed to bridge everyday listening duties – from home entertainment and gaming to serious desktop music production and mixing – while delivering noticeably greater output headroom and deeper low-frequency extension than the smaller CR models. Part of Mackie's third-generation CR (Creative Reference) series, the system pairs a powered speaker with a passive partner to provide a balanced, monitoring-grade stereo setup straight out of the box. A more powerful Class D amplifier delivers 100W of total output, giving the CR5 BT the physical presence to fill larger rooms and handle higher maximum volumes with ease. With its extended low-end, multiple analogue inputs, and familiar front-panel controls, it integrates seamlessly into home studios, content-creation setups, and personal listening environments where scale and clarity are equally important. Bluetooth audio enables wireless playback from phones, tablets, or laptops.

Shape the sound

The Mackie CR5 BT uses rigid MDF cabinets with rear-firing bass reflex ports, designed to support deeper low-frequency reproduction while maintaining control in nearfield and small-room setups. Each speaker pairs a larger 5" woven-fibre woofer with a 1" silk-dome tweeter, crossed over at 3kHz for a smooth handover between lows, mids, and highs. Compared to the smaller CR models, the CR5 BT delivers yet more weight and presence in the low end, extending comfortably into bass territory without overwhelming the midrange. Vocals, guitars, and dialogue remain clear and well defined, while the top end stays detailed without harshness. Stereo imaging remains stable and well balanced at nearfield and small-room listening distances, making the CR5 equally suitable for production work and immersive listening.

Suit the space

Designed for desk-based and small-room workflows, the Mackie CR5 BT suits producers working in project studios, content creators editing audio or video, and users who want a more full-range listening experience without stepping into large-format monitors. Balanced 1/4" TRS inputs connect directly to audio interfaces, mixers, or other studio gear, while RCA and 3.5mm stereo inputs accommodate computers, hi-fi equipment, and other consumer sources. A front-panel headphone output automatically mutes speakers – ideal for late-night sessions or critical listening. With more low-end presence and headroom than the CR3.5 and CR4.5, the CR5 BT is a strong choice for users who want confident monitoring alongside accurate everyday playback. Bluetooth audio adds wireless playback from phones, tablets, or laptops.

About Mackie

In 1988 Greg Mackie, already a successful co-founder of a pro audio company, founded Mackie Designs Inc. with the goal of producing affordable, high-quality mixers. The company's first official product, the LM-1602 line mixer, was initially produced within the four walls of his home. As sales figures were encouraging, its successor model CR-1604 soon followed - and in 1991 the company finally moved into its first proper production facility. The combination of reliable quality and low prices quickly brought the company enormous success, so that by 1995 Mackie had already sold 100,000 products. In 2003, the company was renamed LOUD Audio, LLC so that there is no longer any confusion between the Mackie brand and its former parent company of the same name.

Scaling the CR system

Sitting near the top of the Mackie CR Gen 3 monitor range, the CR5 BT is the most forgiving model in the series, offering greater low-frequency extension and headroom for larger desks and small-room setups where listening distance and volume may vary. Its increased low-frequency reach reduces the immediate need for a subwoofer in many setups, while still retaining the controlled voicing expected from nearfield monitors. For users who require deeper sub-bass for electronic music, gaming, or multimedia, the CR5 BT can also be paired with a CR8S BT subwoofer, forming a powerful yet compact 2.1 system. This modular approach allows the CR system to scale naturally — from focused production work to room-filling playback — without changing speakers or workflow.

solid
Mackie McMacface 04.04.2025
These fellas are solid! They're quite heavy, but in a reassuring way.
Easy to set up and the Bluetooth speaks to all the relevant devices.
They kick a certain amount of ass, especially when dialed to 'play' - the bass is tight and punchy.
ONE DOWNSIDE - the speakers make a high frequency buzzing noise, so when the music is quiet or there's no sound playing, you can hear it.

Ein sehr solides, preisgünstiges und gutes Set von Monitoren, die vielseitig genug sind und empfohlen werden können.
hjunca 21.01.2025
Wenn Sie einen Studiomonitor zum Mischen/Mastern und einen Bluetooth-Musikplayer für zu Hause benötigen, ist dieses Lautsprecherset eine sehr gute Wahl. Der Preis ist sehr gut für vergleichbare Marken und Spezifikationen. Mir hat besonders die sehr gute Wiedergabe der mittleren und tiefen Bassfrequenzen gefallen. Auch die hohen Frequenzen sind gut und ausgewogen. Im Studiomodus hat er eine flache Wiedergabe. Es gibt auch die Möglichkeit, die Dröhnung zu verringern, wenn man Musik in mehr als 1,5 m Entfernung hört, oder wenn man in der Nähe abhört, wird der Bass verstärkt. Die Konstruktion und die Materialien sind auch gut. Ich hatte in der Vergangenheit andere Nahfeldmonitore von verschiedenen Marken Yamaha, Presonus (kleiner), Rokit (größer). Im Vergleich sind diese recht gut, um den gesamten Frequenzbereich zu sehen, aber wenn man nach hochfrequenten Details sucht (z.B. bei der Aufnahme von Instrumenten oder Stimmen), sind sie nicht so offensichtlich und könnten übersehen werden. Insgesamt ein sehr solides, preisgünstiges und gutes Set von Monitoren, die vielseitig genug sind und empfohlen werden können. Nicht zu verwechseln mit dem Modell CR5-XBT 5, einem ähnlichen Set, das ich jedoch aufgrund seiner Spezifikationen und Flexibilität vorziehe.

Très bien mais
valentinvion 14.03.2025
Produit très satisfaisant mais deux régressions depuis la première génération :

- plus de rétroéclairage du potentiomètre de volume
- plus de support en mousse

Dans une pièce sombre il est donc difficile de régler le volume d'un coup d'œil m'obligeant à mettre un coup d'effaceur blanc sur le potentiomètre.

J'ai également dû acheter les t.akustik Iso-Pad 5 pour combler le manque.

C'est peut-être mieux pour l'environnement car j'imagine que pas tout le monde a besoin de ces mousses acoustiques remarquez...

Enceintes fantastiques
Patoche le viking 17.01.2025
J'ai acheté ces enceintes pour mon home studio.

Le son est excellent et puissant, je joue de la gratte sur mon Marshal Origin 20 H en même temps que des backintrack et ce à un volume assez conséquent, les enceintes arrivent à suivre sans problème. Aucun craquement, bruit de fond ou autre. Je croirai jouer en groupe. De plus ces enceintes ont de nombreuses connectiques et la fonction bluetooth qui fonctionne également à merveille.
Au niveau de la qualité, c'est du solide. A ce prix là, je vous le conseille vivement. Je n'ai pas d'élément de comparaison mais c'est exactement ces enceintes qu'il me fallait.
