Mackie CR4.5 Creative Reference Powered Studio Monitors combine studio-quality sound with a tone control, making CR4.5 the best studio monitors, gaming speakers and party speakers, all wrapped into one.

Connect CR4.5 to just about anything. Hook up audio interfaces and playback devices with TRS and RCA connectors. Play gaming consoles and PCs with the 3.5 mm input. There’s even a built-in headphone output.

Use the tone knob to shape the sound, starting with the transparent response you expect from studio monitors. Turn the knob to gradually boost the bass and add high-end sparkle, perfect for immersive gaming, casual listening or all-out partying.

Flip the location switch between desktop speaker mode and bookshelf speaker mode to optimize CR4.5 for wherever you place them. Use desktop mode for listening up close (like in the studio) and bookshelf mode for listening at a distance (like from the couch).

Mackie CR4.5 monitors combine a silk dome tweeter and a 4.5" woven woofer for clean, articulate sound with plenty of low end. For enhanced bass that rumbles the floorboards, connect your speakers to the CR8SBT subwoofer (not included).
