The Mackie CR3.5 Creative Reference studio monitors deliver professional-quality sound with versatile tone-shaping controls. Designed for discerning musicians, these powered studio monitors provide a transparent listening experience for mixing and mastering. A selectable tone knob lets you adjust the sound signature, starting with a flat studio reference then gradually adding more low end and high-end sparkle for casual enjoyment. With multiple inputs and switchable orientation modes, the CR3.5 monitors give you a powerful, balanced sound wherever you set them up. Whether composing, recording or just rocking out, the Mackie CR3.5 studio monitors may be the only powered speakers you'll ever need.

  • Mackie CR3.5 Creative Reference Powered Studio Monitors combine studio-quality sound with a tone control, making CR3.5 the best studio monitors, gaming speakers and party speakers, all wrapped into one.
  • Connect CR3.5 to just about anything. Hook up audio interfaces and playback devices with TRS and RCA connectors. Play gaming consoles and PCs with the 3.5mm 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 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).
  • Mackie CR3.5 monitors combine a silk dome tweeter and a 3.5" 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).
