Mackie CR4.5 4.5-inch Powered Studio Monitors

Content Creation & Gaming

Enhance your setup with our creative reference monitors for an immersive audio experience that you can fine-tune to your preferences. Simply connect the speakers to your gaming PC, audio interface, or streaming setup, and adjust the tone control to feel the full impact of every footstep, line of dialogue, and epic soundtrack moment.

Casual Listening

When your space serves multiple purposes—office, recording studio, streaming room, living area, and more—you need speakers that can adapt to each. The CR Series monitors offer versatile features, like a tone control knob and a location switch, allowing you to easily adjust your listening experience for any situation.

Tone Control

The tone control knob lets you tailor the sound, starting with the clear, neutral response you’d expect from studio monitors. As you turn the knob, you can gradually increase bass and add high-end sparkle, making the CR4.5 perfect for immersive gaming, casual listening, or turning up the volume for a party.

Location Switch

Use the location switch to toggle between desktop and bookshelf modes, optimizing the CR4.5 for wherever you place them. Desktop mode is ideal for close-up listening, like in the studio, while bookshelf mode is perfect for more distant listening, such as from the couch.

All the Connections

Easily connect audio interfaces, mixers, record players, and other playback devices with TRS, RCA, and 3.5mm inputs. Want to listen privately? Simply plug in your headphones using the built-in headphone output, and the speakers will automatically mute for quiet listening.
