Key Features
Mackie CR8SBT Powered Subwoofer with Bluetooth combines professional-quality sound with powerful dedicated bass reinforcement for your music studio or home stereo system, plus a CRDV remote that lets you control the volume from your desktop.
Effortlessly pair any Bluetooth device for easy streaming. And get this: Connect any powered speakers to CR8SBT and you can play through the entire system, effectively adding Bluetooth connectivity to any non-Bluetooth speakers.
Mackie CR8SBT looks good in any room, with a sleek, understated design that matches perfectly with CR Series monitors. This subwoofer is made to look and sound professional, everywhere from a living room to a home studio.
Feel the bass with an 8” polypropylene woofer, custom-tuned ports for deep bass extension and an all-wood cabinet for natural resonance. Use hands-on controls to adjust the input level, crossover frequency (40–180 Hz) and polarity.
Connections include stereo pairs of 1/4” TRS and RCA inputs (for playback devices) and outputs (for powered speakers), plus Bluetooth connectivity, so you can connect your whole system through the Mackie CR8SBT and control it all with the CRDV remote.

- Included CRDV desktop remote provides convenient volume control without leaving your chair.
- All-wood cabinet construction reduces unwanted resonance for cleaner, more natural bass reproduction.
