CR8SBT

The Mackie CR8SBT is an 8-inch powered subwoofer that adds the bottom octave most compact monitors cannot reproduce. An 8-inch polypropylene-coated woofer sits in an all-wood sealed enclosure with custom-tuned ports, so deep 808s and kick fundamentals come through with weight instead of guesswork when you are mixing.

An adjustable crossover from 40 to 180 Hz lets you match the sub to whatever monitors you already own, and polarity control corrects the phase relationship so the crossover region reinforces rather than cancels. Getting those two settings right is the difference between a defined low end and a muddy one.

Bluetooth is the flexible part: pair a phone or laptop to the sub, connect any powered speakers to its outputs, and the whole system plays wirelessly. That effectively adds Bluetooth streaming to non-Bluetooth speakers you already own. Wired I/O covers 1/4-inch TRS and RCA.

The included CRDV desktop remote controls overall system output and subwoofer level separately from your chair, so balancing sub to monitors takes seconds. The cabinet is styled to match CR Series monitors in a studio, bedroom or gaming setup.
