General
Looking for studio-grade audio in a clever, compact housing? Allow us to introduce the Mackie CR3 monitor set. These Creative Reference monitors have been developed specifically for multimedia applications, and they easily fit next to your laptop or tablet thanks to their remarkably compact footprint. If you regularly switch desks or work on location, this monitor set is just the ticket! The CR3s are the most compact monitors from the Creative Reference series, and feature 3-inch polypropylene woofers, as well as 0.75-inch silk tweeters for sparkling trebles.
The Mackie CR3s: Small But Powerful
Despite their modest dimensions and low weight - the set weighs less than 4 kilos! - the CR3 speakers can certainly handle their own. A built-in class-AB amplifier delivers an RMS power of 28 watts, and is capable of handling 50-watt peaks - more than enough for your multimedia applications. Like proper monitors should, the Mackie CR3s deliver excellent reference sound with optimal accuracy. Their MDF housing features a rear-mounted tuned bass reflex port, ensuring an output that's remarkably tight.
Easy to Use and Plenty of Connections
Mackie's CR3 set consists of an active and a passive monitor - the latter is connected to the former by means of wire terminals. Practical features include a switch that allows you to select the active CR3's position (L/R), and a front-mounted - and therefore easily accessible - illuminated volume knob, so you can quickly turn up that one track you love so much. On the active CR3's front you'll also find two 3.5mm mini jack connectors: an aux input and a headphone output. The Mackie CR3 monitor set comes with various cables and two isolations pads for a vibration-proof setup.

Als je meer eisen stelt mag je ook je beurs iets verder openmaken.
Ik ben in ieder geval zeer tevreden over het product en de snelle service van BAX.
Helaas ben ik iets minder tevreden over de levering. Jongens maak geen reclame voor 23 uur besteld volgende dag thuis geleverd. Ik heb al enkele keren een bestelling geplaatst redelijk vroeg op de dag maar nog geen enkele keer dag erna mn bestelling aangekregen.
Maar voor de rest zijn deze speakers wel op en top kwaliteit
Hele fijne speakers. Snel geleverd door Bax en zeer scherpe prijs!
Speakers zijn goed en degelijk verpakt.
Installatie is fluitje van een cent. Handig is dat alle kabels meegeleverd worden.
Twijfel wel aan de geleverde RCA kabel.... is een standaard tulp (rood/wit) naar 3,5mm.
Ga deze nog wel een keer vervangen voor een RCA tulp naar RCA tulp van iets hogere kwaliteit.
Op dit moment maakt de connector slecht contact met mijn Pioneer DDJ-RB. Maar kan ook nog aan de Pioneer liggen.
Volume heeft me verrast voor de kleinheid van de speakers. Prima voor een gemiddelde kamer.
Geluid is mooi en uitermate geschikt voor DJ mixing maar zeker ook voor normale geluidsweergave van de PC als bijv Youtube of Spotify
Son très agréable qui me permet de les écouter en continu.
