Im interested to Mackie CR4, but are classified as 'studio monitors', so i can means that it is not great for music listening? Studio monitors not good for music??? - Mackie CR4 Discussion in '. To speakers, where you simply have to keep listening to samples wherever possible (go to a store) and keep reading reviews before you come to. This Mackie cr3 review offers great benefits for you and for the environment. The sound produce is really nice and simply extraordinary. All comes in plenty of bass with excellent clarity. The external plug-in ability is good and I have nothing to say with the goodness of its functionality.

Pros: Flat, even sound for music and movies for a smaller group
I keep them on 24/7 as computer speakers, adjust volume/mute from the keyboard

Cons: The bright green power on light is pretty bright for evening Netflix etc. Not a huge deal.
USB/BT wouldn't hurt, but analog connectivity isn't so bad

Other Thoughts: I bought these for $150 +$50 Newegg GC (which I've long-since spent) and for $100, they're quite good. More bass than I expected from a 4' woofer (being ported helps) and I took 'em over to my sister's house last weekend for a spontaneous movie night. The sound wasn't life-changing for that purpose (family room, 8 people on a sectional couch, 55' hdtv) but better than the built-in speakers by a wide margin. So for 4 people or fewer, they're plenty of speaker. I keep mine on 24/7, with the volume cranked up to around 80% hooked up to my computer, then I alternate from 5-45% computer speaker volume. If I'm doing a group movie off my computer (big monitor) for my kids or something then I'll go up to 70-75%. So there's plenty of juice there.
Music is pretty flat and I'm pleased. Keep them 5 or more feet apart from each other and it's very very respectable sound for $100.

Mackie tell us their new additions to the CR monitor series are designed to provide high-quality studio monitoring with the flexibility of wireless design.
Here's what Mackie tell us about the new CR4BT & CR5BT bluetooth monitors in their press release:
Woodinville, WA - October 15, 2015...
Mackie today introduces two new models to its best-selling CR Series Multimedia Monitor line- the CR4BT and CR5BT. Both new models feature Bluetooth music streaming from any capable device, adding source flexibility perfect for auditioning comparison tracks or simply enjoying multimedia.
'A common expectation of technology products these days is fewer wires, whether in a studio, entertainment system or other multimedia environment,' commented Mackie Channel Marketing Director, Matt Redmon. 'In consideration of that evolving customer demand, the new CRBT models provide the same studio-quality design and acoustic performance as the other Creative Reference models, only now with the flexibility of streaming audio wirelessly in environments where high-quality sound is required.'
The new CR4BT and CR5BT join the CR3 and CR4, all designed to bridge the gap between professional and personal applications. The new CR5BT features a high-output 5 inch woofer, delivering added low-frequency response, perfect for extended-range music and A/V post-production. All CR monitors ultilize 3/4 inch silk-dome tweeters for smooth, articulate highs. Unique to the line, a left/right speaker placement switch allows users to locate the volume control on the left or right of their workstation. The front panel includes a on/off/volume knob with a lit power indication ring that will also control the volume of headphones, which can be plugged directly into the front of the monitors. Both new models feature a front panel Bluetooth button for easy pairing and connection indication. Bluetooth streaming is great for comparing mixes, auditioning files or just enjoying a bit of music or video. There is an additional front panel aux input for connecting alternate audio sources.
'With smartphones always at your side, you can easily find yourself creating professional multimedia one minute and streaming a video the next,' commented Redmon. 'With our new Bluetooth-capable CR monitors, you get the best of both worlds...studio-quality performance and effortless connection to the music you love.'
All Mackie CR Series monitors come with all the connecting cables needed to get started immediately. As a bonus, there's even a pair of acoustic isolation pads included. Used in professional applications, acoustic isolation pads minimize unwanted bass buildup that can muddy a mix. Plus, the pads' angled design allow the user to tilt the monitors slightly up or down for more focused listening depending on their setup.
'So whether you're a seasoned pro looking for a compact pair of accurate, articulate monitors for work or just looking for a pair of amazing-sounding speakers for entertainment, Mackie CR Series monitors are an affordable solution that deliver professional results in our most compact form factor to date,' concluded Redmon.
The new Mackie CR4BT and CR5BT are now shipping worldwide. Sold in pairs, CR4BT monitors will have a U.S. MSRP of $259.99 and CR5BT monitors will have a U.S. MSRP of $329.99.
