I blew the cone in my old monitors as soon as the bass came in! I tried the same beat in these Mackie CR8-XBT 8, safe to say ⚡lightning is not going to strike twice! These Mackie CR8-XBT 8 are the isht love them! Glad I didn't jump on the band wagon and get some brb's! I went with a brand I remember seeing in the studio as a child! Bigup to Mackie!
Placing ur interface underneath ur imac is such a good idea :D
Just got some CR3-X’s today, decided to drop on by to see what was up
I love Mackie ❤❤❤
Great! I use the CR5-X active monitors
for music production , love them!
Nice!
Which interface are you using ? I can’t meet to get both to play for pro tools?
@@hipursuitstudios1132 I use Logic Pro
Oh I use the Focusrite Scarlett interface
I'm buying a mackie(cr3x) today!!! 😄 South Korea.
great content
Can you connect multiple set up? Like to a desktop and to audio interface
What are the length of the cables that connect the boxes the red and black ones?
I need those speakers!!!
It's my favorite
Can you put the speakers horizontally instead?
Placement and sound absortion panels of some sort atleast are CRUCIAL in a Home Studio set-up.....so many overlook BASIC tips / tricks and then wonder why their mixes sound a lil "Off-ish" later on in Different listening situations. Listen to your mixes in AS MANY PLACES AS POSSIBLE and try rearranging items based on what you heard/learned is Mixing 101 ....It will ONLY MAKE YA BETTER at mixing in the long run.....Hell, Just put a "Running Man" EVERYWHERE,Be Smart w/ decisions, and that'll be a GREAT START!!!! best of Luck in ALL your recording/Mixing endeavors everyone!!!! Great work MACKIE TEAM-Frm Top To Bottom!!!!!! Alot of other companies got some catching up to do to compete with MACKIE!!!!!! Ya'll have done your homework,paid attention to research and consumer wants/needs ....AND IT IS SHOWING HUGELY GUYS!!!!! Keep us Rockin Mackie....From a MAKAROID !!!!! LMAO...(Love that nickname too lol)
Recommended default format for these monitors? 16 bit, 192000hz?
I just got the 5’s and im about to order the 8’s is there a way I could connect them together??
Hello guys, anyone know the lengths of the included speaker cable?
Just unboxed my CR-XBTs and they have no sound. They connect to my BT devices but I hear nothing out of them no matter the volume settings.
I have a pais of CR-3 , purchased on 2020. They have a problem. The unpowered speaker not work good. I think the tweeter is not working? How to resolve?
do you place the mr624 the same way?
Does that 8 inch cable come w the monitors?
are they better than MR 524 ones ?
thank yoU!
What is the static noice ?? I set it up but I’m heating static noise when music and no music is playing
only one speaker is playing depending on where I select the switch at the back, can you help me fix this? even if I use one speaker I can only play left or right depending on which one I select
Hi,
I use CR5-XBT. Could you please support with the Bluetooth connection?
Thx.
Do you know how long is the black and red wire that connect the speakers?
hey mackie, why didn't my speakers come with isolation pads?
Hi, I also bought these speakers recently (cr5-xbt) and I'm happy with the general quality. But I found a small flaw. The active monitor has slightly more volume than the passive one. Does this happen to you too? It's normal?
Yes this is normal even with some expensive monitors. Balance is extremely important and I just use a cheap db meter with pink noise then adjust the balance through software unless the monitors have variable gain control.
My Mackies are connected to my computer through the jack connection, and whenever i want to connect my sound card aswell with the double cinch feature, it makes interference noises and reduces the overall volume.
Is this normal or is it my double cinch cable that needs to be changed?
Or am I not supposed to connect 2 devices together on the Mackies?
I don’t know how
I bought these today. Trying to connect them to my MSI monitor but it’s not working at all, am I doing something wrong?
I use Mackie CR3 for music production.
They're too small to thet
@@_kong_7417 yeah, but I use it for music production but not for mixing and mastering.
@@_kong_7417 So I can't connect a Mackie Sub to my CR3? And if so why not, the CR5 has the same plugin and switches on the back as the CR3 when I looked at a pic.
Which is better RCA or STEREO IN?
Hi, I currently own a CR5-BT which is currently faulty. I intend to get the CR5-XBT to replace it. I was wondering what are the major difference between the two?
Hi Vinod, we're sorry to hear this. The biggest difference is mostly the bluetooth capability. Please reach out to support@mackie.com to let them know about the issue you're having. and we will see how we can help!
how to connect my mackie crx - 8 "monitors and mackie subwoofer to audiointerface m-audio 192/4 ???? Help !!!!!!!!
Is the dog included with the speakers? Thanks
ordinate arrivano lunedi!!!
What if I would want to connect them to magni/modi stack? Is a good idea?
I don’t know
How do I get sound come out of both monitors? The back only has selections for left or right, not both.
have u figured this out, mine did not do this at first and now it is
The monitor to pc cable is in the boxbor do we need to buy one ?
Yes! These come with a cable that you can plug into your computers headphone jack.
Technical question, if we leave the REAR power switch on all the time and front button off, is the electricity active? Or we should switch OFF both switches? Appreciate comment..
In that state there should be no electricity getting to the amplifier or other electronics.
@@mackietv Thank you very much. Appreciate it..
Just got the CR-5X’s. Does anyone know why one of them is louder than the other? Or are both supposed to be equally as loud?
I don’t know
@@dep7up found the problem. It was the device it was connected to.
Se puede colocar 4 entradas de audio a sonar en simuntaneo?(bt, trs, mini plug, crs)
I dont understand why they only work one at a time. I have to choose between left or right speaker and cant play both at the same time. I got these for 50$ new but i feel ripped off
between mackie cr4x or pioneer dm40 which one would you choose?
They work at Mackie😂
Can i connect it to a mixer not pc
I hope these don't die on me like the CR4's did!
does the final mix sound different on car or other spekers??
how do i pair to
bluetooth tho
I bought the cr4-x and they cut out and stop working and then start working again
34/5000
what differentiates cr3 from cr3x?
I think that the new X series has a better design including D class amplifier instead of the A/B class included in the CR series
Mine didn’t come with the red and black wires… what the heck?
Did you got the cables now?
How do I get both speakers to play at the same time?
I don’t know
I need some help with this to but I think its the big knob that mackie sells
Mine didn’t come with isolation pads??
same. what's up with that?
My set didn't come with isolation pads.
Me neither but you can get them on Amazon for like $15
How do you set up the bluetooth
right lol doesnt even address that - mine won't show up on my Mac to pair at all
These must be the most get the job done monitors in the market lol
Dear
Mackie brand is not worth it. Sure it's a little less expensive but most folks end up just having to replace Mackie monitors in a year or two. And if you're out of warranty their customer service will simply suggest you buy new ones. Worth spending a bit more to get quality that will last.
fuck these speakers, anyone can connect to your speakers.....my neighbors are nortenos and keep connecting at like 4 am....
The bluetooth doenst even work on mine
Don't buy CR series monitors. Mine died after 3 years of mild use. Customer Service told me to go pay a repair shop. Buy from a company that stands by their product and makes you whole when they need to.
what do you recommend?
My cr4s been holding up since 2018. My crx8s are doing well too
Ok buster but how’s the bass tho
@@schqrrpretty decent on the 8 inch models. These new ones are better than the old ones with the green ring around the tweeter.
No help. Stop talking so fast
Do the cr8x have alot of bass not tuned at all through aux to double trs?
Just to be clear, how exactly are you connecting to the speakers?
