When shutting down you want to power off your sub first not last this prevents mains thumb damaging the driver from over excursion

This sub sounds ok for its price point, paired it with the CR5-Xbt it does help the speakers alot when it comes to low frequency presence but the volume output is underwhelming for me. The volume is set to max on the subwoofer and you cant really hear it unless you set The frequency on the sub to 60hz in order for it to sound balanced and not cross frequencies with the Midbass speakers, anything higher and you can hear some crackling Sounds because the subwoofer cant handle those higher frequencies. I wish that the subwoofer would pair wirelessly with CR5-Xbt instead of having to choose between the CR5-XBT or the CR8S-bt. I'm using it as a 3 channel set up for tv speakers. I also wish that for the price the subwoofer would at least have a auto shut off feature. It's still good but don't expect it to wow you. I bought the CR line because in my Home Studio I have the HR824 MKll's and those sound phenomenal but there's a BIG price difference on those vs the whole set of the CR line. If you are looking for a 3 channel speaker set for a TV I would just recommend a higher end sound bar with a 10 inch subwoofer at minimum to really get a feel for music and movies and gaming.

I'm waiting on my Mackie CB8X subwoofer to be delivered and I will be the judge because I don't see not one good review, and everyone is choosing the Presonus I have Eris 5 inch and 3.5, and I plan on combining the subwoofer the key to good sound is spending $45-$50 for your 1/4 balance cord , using professional quality sound accessory makes a big difference.

What happens if you connect your speakers and sub together, but you connect spekaers to the source (PC), instead of SUB? This is the wrong way if I understand?
@Shinigamitokyo
7 ай бұрын
Yes, I'm afraid that's not right. Any audio source you would like to hear from the sub and the monitors must be connected to the sub first. In this case, the Pc would need to be plugged into the input jack on the sub and then the sub would send the audio to the monitors/speakers as well. As long as you have the monitors/speakers plugged into the output jack on the sub of course.

@@powerhitter033 I like it. I use it with the cr5 monitors, it definitely enhances the sub. I've found it's best if I set the crossover at almost the lowest setting, so it's covering the lowest frequencies without making the overall sound much louder. I have the sub volume at about the 2 o'clock position, with my monitors at about 1 o'clock, then just control the overall volume with the remote. It's pretty useless for mastering - I do all that on headphones now, but I prefer doing most stuff through the speakers. I'm glad I got it. One weird thing - I nearly sent mine back when I got it because it was making strange noises with certain samples, but this seems to have disappeared - it maybe needs a little breaking in. Oh yes - if you turn the volume to max, it will cut out and needs switching off. Max is very loud, though, given its size. I never put the volume much past 1 o'clock.

In the manual for this Mackie sub it says frequency response at -10db is 30hz-250hz, and at -3db 40hz-180hz. Does this mean that this sub can produce bass signals as low as 30hz? If so this might be a useful purchase. If it can only produce as low as 40hz then I might not buy. Please help THANKS!!!

With any situation where audio needs to go to multiple destinations and heard at the same time, especially in professional setups, Bluetooth is problematic because there is an inherent delay in the technology. So your mains would be delayed which of course you don’t want. Sending audio to a whole system via Bluetooth works because it’s all getting to the speaker system at the same time. There’s a delay but everything is delayed together, so it works.
