The complete Bluetooth package

The Mackie CR3.5 BT Gen 3 is a compact active monitor system designed to bridge everyday listening duties – from home entertainment and gaming to serious desktop music production and mixing. Part of Mackie's popular third-generation CR (Creative Reference) series, the system pairs a powered speaker with a passive partner to deliver a balanced, monitoring-grade stereo setup straight out of the box. A Class A/B amplifier delivers 50W of total output, ideal for small rooms and nearfield monitoring. With its compact footprint, multiple analogue inputs, and front-panel controls, it integrates easily into home studios, content-creation setups, and personal listening spaces – where flexibility and clarity are equally important. Bluetooth enables wireless playback from phones, tablets, or laptops.

Shape the sound

The Mackie CR3.5 BT uses rigid MDF cabinets with rear-firing bass reflex ports to extend low-frequency response while keeping resonance under control in close-range setups. Each speaker pairs a 3.5" woven-fibre woofer with a 1" silk-dome tweeter, crossed over at 3 kHz for a smooth handover between lows, mids, and highs. Rather than chasing exaggerated bass or sheer loudness, the CR3.5 Gen 3 prioritises balance and definition: mids remain clear and forward for vocals, speech, and guitars, the low end stays tight and controlled for its size, and the top end is detailed without sounding aggressive. Stereo imaging is precise at nearfield distances, making placement and depth easy to judge when working at a desk.

Suit the space

Designed for desk-based workflows, the Mackie CR3.5 BT suits producers working in small project studios, content creators editing audio or video, as well as gamers and music fans looking for better sound without a complex or costly setup. Balanced 1/4" TRS inputs connect directly to audio interfaces, mixers, or other studio gear, while RCA and 3.5 mm stereo inputs accommodate hi-fi equipment, computers, and other consumer devices. Plugging headphones into the front-panel output automatically mutes the speakers – ideal for late-night sessions or critical listening. Compact, easy to place, and quick to configure, the CR3.5 Gen 3 balances accurate monitoring with everyday listening, switching effortlessly between work and play. Bluetooth audio adds wireless playback from phones, tablets, or laptops.

About Mackie

In 1988 Greg Mackie, already a successful co-founder of a pro audio company, founded Mackie Designs Inc. with the goal of producing affordable, high-quality mixers. The company's first official product, the LM-1602 line mixer, was initially produced within the four walls of his home. As sales figures were encouraging, its successor model CR-1604 soon followed - and in 1991 the company finally moved into its first proper production facility. The combination of reliable quality and low prices quickly brought the company enormous success, so that by 1995 Mackie had already sold 100,000 products. In 2003, the company was renamed LOUD Audio, LLC so that there is no longer any confusion between the Mackie brand and its former parent company of the same name.

Scaling the CR system

As the most compact model in the Mackie CR range, the CR3.5 BT is optimised for close-range listening in small rooms, desktops, and tight workspaces. Its controlled low end and modest output are well suited to nearfield monitoring, but users working at higher levels or in larger rooms may benefit from stepping up to the CR4.5 or CR5, which offer larger woofers, increased headroom, and deeper bass extension while retaining the same voicing concept and controls. For setups that call for more low-frequency weight, the CR3.5 Gen 3 can also be paired with a CR8S BT subwoofer, forming a compact 2.1 system that scales easily from focused desktop work to more immersive listening, gaming, or multimedia use.

Very nice features, good sound, subtle hissing noise still there

5 stars to Thomann fast delivery and fast and efficient support service, despite I don't agree with their repair/replacement veredict.

5 stars to Mackie's support service too, which were quite nice and fast to answer me, and suggested a replacement (which Thomann didn't agree with).

3 stars to the spakers:
- 5 stars to all the features they have, including the possibility to play several inputs at the same time and the Bluetooth working perfectly for me. I only miss a better equalizer sepparated for the bass, as the one wheel they provide is not sufficient to me.
- 4 stars to sound quality, I'm not an expert but it's good for me except of being a bit too bassy for my taste.
- 1 star for the subtle famous hissing noise that is still there even if no input is connected. It's clearly noticeable if you listen at the distance of half meter. Also, the hissing and interference noises from my laptop become quite audible from half way volume up, even using a TRS balanced cable and keeping the input device volume at max. These noise issues were not happening with my 25 year old AIWA SC-A77. For this reason Mackie adviced me to replace them by a new unit, which Thomann support service didn't agree, as mentioned before, but they didn't charge any delivery costs to me, which is fair and great.

In any case I use them for listening to classical music while working, and some pc gaming, so I tend to keep the volume low hence I don't hear the interference noise, and I'm getting used to the background subtle hissing that is always there.

Son Désagréable

J’ai acheté ces enceintes Mackies pour remplacer mes Presonus Eris 3.5.

Les presonus ont grésillé au bout de 1 an seulement. J’ai changé 4 condensateurs et elles ont refonctionné 2 ans, puis panne d’alimentation. Vraiment, pas de chance…
Mais le son était excellent.

Mon avis sur les mackies au bout de 1 heure : d’essai, j’ai mal aux oreilles ! C’est difficile à décrire. Vraiment, après 5min d’écoute, mes oreilles sifflent comme pendant une otite…
Elles manquent de quelque chose, le son est étouffé, il n’y a que des aigues, pas de basses même à très faible volume. PAr contre, elles font bcp de bruits et feront vibrer vos tympans.
En lisant les avis, je me dis que la première génération devait être VRAIMENT meilleure.
