Mackie CR3.5 Powered Studio Monitors














zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Big sound in a small package -- this pair of studio monitors works for reference work, casual listening, or pumping the jams with a customizable tone knob!
Overview
Mackie CR3.5 Creative Reference Powered Studio Monitors combine professional-quality sound with a tone shaping knob for moving from studio reference to casual listening to party mode. Featuring a selection of inputs and switchable desktop and bookshelf modes, these speakers give you clear, powerful sound in any space.
Use the tone control knob to adjust the sound, beginning with the transparent quality you expect from professional studio monitors, then gradually adding more excitement with boom-ier bass and added sparkle. Whether you're using them for business, pleasure or both, Mackie CR3.5 may be the only speakers you ever need.
YOUR WORK + PLAY SPEAKERS
Shape the sound of your Mackie CR3.5 speakers on the fly, so you can mix a podcast episode, listen to music and DJ a house party, all with the same set of compact speakers.
TONE CONTROL
Use the tone control 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 using CR3.5 as immersive gaming speakers, casual listening speakers or all-out party speakers.
LOCATION SWITCH
Flip the location switch between desktop speaker mode and bookshelf speaker mode to optimize CR3.5 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).
