The term reference monitors can scare people away, so Mackie designed the CR3-X to draw you in. No Need to drop your entire budget on new monitors. The CR3-X deliver studio-quality sound to real-world musicians, video producers, content creators, and anyone else with pockets of average depth.

The 3" 2-way CR3-X is powered internally by a 50-watt high-headroom amp for plenty of volume before distortion, so crank em' up. Specially designed waveguides deliver blanket sound dispersion at any level, making anything in front the sweet spot. And don't let their size fool you. Custom-tuned rear ports give these speakers a smooth, full low end. All wood cabinets with a black brushed metal front not only provide a more desirable tonal character than all-plastic designs, they look cooler too!

With an eye on versatility, the CR3-X features 1/4", 1/8", and RCA inputs with 1/8" to RCA, and 1/8" to 1/8" cables included for your mobile devices and computers. A nice big volume knob is located on the front of the powered speaker and a back panel position switch lets you choose which side of your desk you want that knob on. There's even a built-in speaker defeating headphone jack positioned conveniently on the front panel.
