- Do the CR8BT monitors need an amplifier?
- No. Each cabinet has its own 70 W RMS amplifier, so you plug them into power and feed them a line-level source.
- Can I connect them to a phone or laptop?
- Yes. Bluetooth 5.0 handles wireless streaming, and RCA inputs take wired sources such as an interface, mixer or TV.
- How much space do they need behind them?
- The bass port fires from the rear, so leave some distance from the wall to keep the low end from getting boomy.
- Are they good for mixing or just listening?
- They are lively and bass-forward, which suits casual listening and tracking. For critical mixing, expect to learn their coloration or add room treatment.
- What comes in the box?
- You get the pair of powered monitors, a power cable and the speaker connection cable. Check the listing for the included stands package if you want them raised.
- How do they compare with 5-inch monitors?
- The 8-inch woofers play louder and deeper, but the cabinets are much bigger. If desk space is tight, a 5-inch pair is easier to place.
