OWNER’S MANUAL
This is a typical use for CR2-X Bar Pro. This would be a prime example of utilizing it to play music.
First, make sure the CR2-X Bar Pro is positioned for your setup.
Here a phone is connected to CR2-X Bar Pro via Bluetooth, although it can also be “hardwired”
into the /8" stereo input jack using an /8” to /8” cable. Both options are on display here.
Next, make sure that the input selector switch is set to either Bluetooth or /8" / Aux, depending on how
the phone is connected, of course. Additionally, we would suggest setting the EQ preset switch to music.
Now play audio through the phone, making sure that the volume of the phone and CR2-X Bar Pro are above “0”.
Once you hear audio, simply adjust volume to taste!
Optional: Is there someone who doesn’t like what you’re listening to? Well, first o, they’re wrong. That’s a given.
There is a solution, though. Plugging a pair of Mackie headphones into the /8" headphones jack auto-defeats
the speaker output. The top panel volume slider then controls the level going to the phones.

OWNER’S MANUAL
. Power Connector
CR2-X Bar Pro has a universal external power supply
that accepts any AC voltage ranging from 00 VAC
to 240 VAC. No need for voltage select switches.
It will work virtually anywhere in the world.
That’s why we call it a “Planet Earth” power supply!
It is less susceptible to voltage sags or spikes compared
to conventional power supplies, and provides greater
electromagnetic isolation and better protection
against AC line noise.
Attach the AC connector (the smaller, shorter
cable that plugs into the wall) to the power supply
adapter (the bigger, longer cable that plugs into
the CR2-X Bar Pro).
The power supply adapter may be connected
to the CR2-X Bar Pro by pushing it into the power
receptacle on the rear panel and plugging the other
end into a live AC outlet. The LED on the power supply
will illuminate blue to indicate that it is receiving power.
Only use the factory-authorized power
supply that came with the CR2-X Bar Pro.
4. /8" Stereo Input Jack
Connect a line-level signal from a smartphone,
MP3 player or other signal source to this input jack
using an unbalanced /8" connector.
It is wired as follows, according to standards
specified by the AES (Audio Engineering Society):
Stereo /8" TRS
Sleeve = Shield (Ground)
Tip = Lef Channel
Ring = Right Channel
5. USB I/O
Since the CR2-X Bar Pro is a “Premium Desktop PC
Soundbar with Bluetooth®,” the USB connection will
(most likely) be one of the most widely used features.
In short, it works as an interface that allows audio to
stream from the CR2-X Bar Pro via computer.
This is the connection that will be used for gaming,
watching movies and fun cat videos, playing music
or just about any other sound that is emitted from
your computer.
2. Power Switch
Press the right side of this rocker switch inwards
to turn on the CR2-X Bar Pro. The corner pieces on the
front panel will illuminate green, confirming success.
Additionally, it will state, “Power on. Bluetooth pairing
mode.” Press the lef side of this rocker switch inwards
to turn it o.
3. To Sub
Not much of a surprise here, as we would like you
to connect this output to the input of a subwoofer
using an /8" connector.
When connected, the CR2-X Bar Pro
automatically shifs to sub mode, resulting
in a roll-o of the low frequencies.
Of course, we would highly recommend the CR6S-X or
CR8S-XBT subwoofer; see the hookup diagram on page
6 and check the Mackie website for more information!
Connect the USB-C side of a USB cable to
the CR2-X Bar Pro and the USB-A side to the
computer’s USB port.
Don’t forget to change the output to ‘CR2-X Bar Pro’
via Settings on your computer.
CR2-X Bar Pro’s USB connection is audio only.
It is not a source of power.

This /8" TRS connector supplies the output to stereo
headphones. The volume is controlled with the volume
slider on the top of the CR2-X Bar Pro. The signal to the
power amp is killed when headphones are connected.
The phones output is wired as follows, according
to standards specified by the AES (Audio Engineering
Society):
Stereo /8" TRS
Sleeve = Shield (Ground)
Tip = Lef Channel
Ring = Right Channel
Warning: The headphone amp is loud and
could cause permanent hearing damage.
Even intermediate levels may be painfully
loud with some headphones. BE CAREFUL!

simultaneously, but only one input may
be selected at a time. There are no issues
when switching between sources.
This includes a device connected via Bluetooth.
Switching the source selection away from a connected
device (Bluetooth) to USB or /8" / Aux and back again
will not disrupt the Bluetooth connection, for example.

usually produce hum.
• Is there a light dimmer or other triac-based device
on the same AC circuit as the
Dimmers cause buzzing noises. Use an AC line
filter or plug the monitor into a dierent AC circuit.
• Excessive hiss is an indication of an incorrect gain
