{"product_id":"mackie-cr5bt-5-25-powered-studio-monitor-pair","title":"Mackie CR5BT 5.25\" Powered Studio Monitor Pair","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mackie CR5BT is a pair of 5.25-inch powered studio monitors designed for nearfield production work, desktop listening, gaming, and everyday playback. It combines built-in amplification with wired and Bluetooth audio connectivity, so an external speaker amplifier is not required. The pair is suited to creators and listeners who want one compact monitoring system for a computer, audio interface, mixer, or compatible mobile device.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach system uses a 5.25-inch woven woofer and a 1-inch silk-dome tweeter with a protective grille. Its rated frequency response is 59 Hz to 20 kHz at -3 dB, supporting clear mids and highs with useful low-frequency extension for a compact desktop monitor. The rear-ported MDF cabinets are designed to support fuller bass response while maintaining a practical footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA front-panel tone control lets the CR5BT adapt to different listening tasks. With the control set toward the transparent reference response, the monitors are intended for tracking and mixing; turning it up gradually adds bass and high-frequency emphasis for casual listening or games. This makes it easier to move between work-focused and entertainment-focused sound without changing speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe location switch provides Desktop and Bookshelf modes to better suit close-up or more distant listening positions. Desktop mode is intended for a nearfield workspace, while Bookshelf mode is intended for placement farther from the listener. The 100-watt RMS bi-amplified Class D system provides the power for the paired active\/passive monitor setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor source flexibility, the powered monitor accepts balanced or unbalanced 1\/4-inch TRS, unbalanced RCA, and 3.5 mm stereo connections, plus Bluetooth 5.0 audio streaming. A 3.5 mm headphone output provides a convenient private-listening option and mutes speaker playback when headphones are connected. The CR5BT can serve as the main monitor pair in a desktop system and may be complemented by a separate Mackie CR8SBT subwoofer when additional low-end output is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5.25-Inch Woven Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers low and midrange output from a compact monitor cabinet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1-Inch Silk-Dome Tweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports detailed high frequencies with a protective grille.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100-Watt RMS Amplification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in bi-amplified Class D power eliminates the need for an external amplifier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTone Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjusts bass and high-frequency emphasis for work or casual listening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocation Switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Selects Desktop or Bookshelf mode for the listening position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth 5.0 Streaming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plays audio wirelessly from compatible Bluetooth devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CR5BT uses rectangular solid-MDF enclosures finished in black vinyl wrap. Each cabinet has a custom-tuned rear port, while the tweeter includes a protective grille.
