Mackie CR8BT – 3rd-generation CR Series active studio monitors with an 8" woven-cone woofer, silk-dome tweeter, 140 W RMS Class-D amplification (total), Bluetooth 5.0, Tone Control knob and Location Switch. Price is per pair (active + passive).

The CR8BT is the largest model in the Creative Reference Gen 3 lineup – designed for workstations that double as studios, offices and listening rooms. The Class-D amplifier (140 W RMS total, 70 W per speaker) lives in the active enclosure, which drives the passive satellite via the included speaker cable. The crossover at 2.0 kHz divides the signal between the 8" woven-cone woofer and the silk-dome tweeter, which sits behind a waveguide shaped for wide dispersion across the listening area.

Tone Control and Location Switch – one pair, multiple contexts

The front-panel Tone Control knob shifts the speaker's character in real time: fully counterclockwise gives a flat reference response for tracking and mixing; turning right gradually adds bass weight and top-end sparkle for gaming, casual listening or party use. The rear-panel Location Switch applies an EQ curve optimized for either desktop mode (nearfield, close-up listening) or bookshelf mode (listening from a distance). The front-panel headphone output automatically mutes the speakers when headphones are connected – clean for late-night sessions without any additional steps.

Connectivity

The active monitor's rear panel includes a balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS input, RCA stereo inputs and a 1/8" stereo jack, covering studio interfaces and mixers alongside consumer gear like turntables and computers. Bluetooth 5.0 adds wireless streaming from phones, tablets and laptops. The rear-firing bass-reflex port extends the low end to 44 Hz; allow clearance from the wall for optimal bass performance.
