• 【Video Release】MACKIE Studio Monitors + Subwoofer Comparison Video Now Available!

  

  2025/10/09

  We’ve released a comparison video of MACKIE studio monitors and subwoofers on the official Sound House YouTube channel!
  Adding the CR8SBT subwoofer to the MACKIE CR Series lets you not only hear the bass but also feel it. This video features both configurations for each model—the CR Series full-range speakers paired with the subwoofer, and the same speakers without it. We recommend using earphones or headphones to carefully compare the sound.
