Mackie CR5-X BT

I bought these monitors as a "backup-pair" to use in summer house, where I tried to make a super-basic home studio, a lot more essential than the one I use for the rest of the year. I decided to go for this brand mainly for the enthusiastic reviews I was reading around these monitors. They also were the cheapest among my choices, so why not to save here a bit and invest somewhere else?
After more than a month I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed: maybe it's my fault in thinking that they could be ok to be used for a Nord
Electro, but as soon you go for some full bass sounds or some high, or particular resonance sound, the here are several types of vibration that disturb the sound a lot, even just above the mid volume level. This could be a particular application, for more standard sound they are fine (bass could be a bit pumped though).
I know you can't compare monitors with headphones, but the sound you hear with a DT-770 pro when I play the Nord
keyboard it's far from what come from these speakers.
So I guess they are more suitable for a "light-hearted" use, the BT
option it's super handy for that.
If I could change the past I'd go for a less cheap pair hoping for better quality.

Pros
-
Price

BT
and powerful sound

Cons
-
Vibration and disturbs for sounds that go a bit out of the ordinary

The Mackie CR5-X BT are extremely good using not only on my pc as a studio quality sound, but also they work fantastic with my vinyl record player. It seems for an active speakers hold above average in sound quality. With the use of a ART DJ Pre II Phono Preamp eliminate any hum noise, and not only i can record and monitoring in my pc professionally but also i really enjoying the sweet sound in the room.

Ces enceintes sont très bien conçus, le bluetooth en option très pratique, le son est globalement agréable, sans aigus criards et avec de jolis basses.

Seulement voilà, elles sont très flatteuses à l'oreille et ne conviennent donc pas du tout pour du mixage et/ou mastering. Ces qualités audio perturbent l'écoute et ne permettent pas de faire une bonne idée d'un mix ou d'un master. Il faudrait pouvoir supprimer l'effet loudness ou correcteur physiologique pour cela.

Mais comme je les ai acheées pour amplifier une bande son lors de chants direct-live en petit groupe, elles sont parfaites avec le bluetooth pour connecter la tablette ou le smartphone...

Monitor studio di altissimo spessore sonoro ,sono rimasto particolarmente stupefatto dalla potenza delle basse , essendo un cono da 5 fa il suo sporco lavoro design accattivante il BT si collega in un attimo e i tweeter sono abbstanza brillanti un po sovrastati dalle basse ma a me piace il suono profondo thomann il migliore in audio e video: Unica pecca UPS ha consegnato in un giorno di ritardo ,il paccoo esterno è arrivato tutto rotto fortunatamente lo scatolo originale della Mackie e fatto di una buona fattura bello rigido e non ha creato danni ai monitor ,ma Thomann deve cambiare corriere perche sono lenti e non hanno voglia di lavorare per il resto testerò nei prossimi giorni i monitor la cosa che mi dà un po fastidio è il ronzio dei tweeter percepibile eppure li ho attaccati con dei cavi di buona fattura e bilanciati proverò con delle modifiche e poi deciderò ho provato con tutte le modifiche possibili e immaginabili questi monitor hanno un fruscio fastidioso di fondo RESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
