YOUR WORK + PLAY SPEAKERS

Shape the sound of your Mackie CR4.5 studio monitors 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.

Watch video

Two speakers. All your listening.

Content Creation & Gaming
Add a set of our creative reference monitors to your setup for immersive sound you can tweak to your liking. Just connect your speakers to your gaming PC, audio interface, or Mainstream streaming interface, then adjust the tone knob until you hear the full impact of every footstep, line of dialogue and epic soundtrack moment.

Music Production
CR4.5 studio monitors have the clear, accurate sound you need to produce and record music. With the tone knob turned all the way left, you get a flat frequency response for tracking and mixing. Crank the tone knob to the right to hear more bass and sparkle.

Casual Listening
When your space serves as an office, recording studio, streaming den, living area and more, you need speakers that can do it all. That‘s why CR Series monitors have versatile features like the tone control knob and the location switch to quickly adjust your listening experience to any situation you prefer.

Control your sound. Change your location. Connect to anything.

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 CR4.5 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 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).

All the Ins and Outs
Hook up audio interfaces, mixers, record players and other playback devices with TRS, RCA and 3.5 mm inputs. Switch to headphones with the built-in headphone output - just connect your headphones to cut the speaker audio and listen quietly.

HEADPHONE OUTPUT

Switch from blasting tunes to quiet listening with the built-in headphone output conveniently placed right up front— just connect your headphones to cut the speaker audio.
