The CR5-X 5" monitors deliver studio-quality sound, powered by a 5" polypropylene-coated woofer and a 0.75" ferrofluid-cooled silk-dome tweeter. They also feature a specially designed waveguide for unmatched clarity and sound dispersion at all listening levels.
The monitors come with a front panel headphone output and volume control, a speaker placement switch, and a 1/8" Aux input for instant plug-and-play functionality. The front-facing headphone jack auto-defeats speaker output for a more personalized listening experience.
The CR5-X 5" monitors support a variety of inputs, including balanced 1/4" TRS, 1/8" Stereo, and RCA, making them versatile for different audio sources.
The acoustic isolation pads minimize boomy bass build-up and provide up/down tilt control for more focused and controlled listening.
The all-wood cabinet not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the monitors but also provides a natural sonic character superior to low-grade plastic designs.
