Mackie Announces New CR StealthBar Compact Desktop Soundbar Design

August 24 2021, 00:45
Mackie announced an expansion to its range of products, with three completely new designs including new EleMent Wave microphone plug-on transmitters, the Thump GO portable speaker and the CR StealthBar, a Bluetooth-enabled, compact desktop soundbar equipped to bring high-quality sound to small spaces, and specifically designed to sit on the desktop. The CR StealthBar features built-in, sound presets designed to enhance the audio when watching movies, listening to music, or gaming.
 

Focused on professional audio products and always with an eye on the home studio market, Mackie launched its new CR StealthBar ($99.00 MAP) specifically to address the growing number of home applications that would suit a higher power crossover speaker product the company could bring to market. The Mackie CR StealthBar is a compact desktop PC soundbar that is USB-C and Bluetooth-enabled and designed to be simple to use.

Fundamental to those guidelines, the three pre-defined tone presets quickly convert the CR StealthBar for a variety of uses. The presets include Music, Movie and Games modes, which can be activated easily with the click of a button. And the CR StealthBar offers customized placement, as it features a compact design that fits easily under most desktop monitors and also offers a taller set of feet to allow for positioning above monitor stands if desired.

“Mackie’s roots have always been grounded in the mission of bringing quality sound and gear to everyone for all aspects of listening and creating. Our new CR StealthBar fits that bill perfectly,” says Craig Reeves, Product Manager at Mackie. “Now, Mackie’s legendary acoustics are available for small spaces that can’t fit traditional speakers. This is truly the ultimate compact desktop speaker for gaming, music listening, content creation and more.”

In terms of connections, the Mackie CR Stealthbar offers USB-C connectivity for Mac/PC, an 1/8" stereo input, and Bluetooth wireless audio, while an additional 3.5mm stereo jack output is available for when users require private listening.

"With this new launch, Mackie continues to expand its footprint with core customers through products like the ThumpGO battery-powered loudspeakers, while also expanding further into the content creator and consumer sector with the CR StealthBar soundbar for PC/gaming and EleMent Wave wireless microphones for content capture and streaming. As a pro audio provider for over 30 years, we want to earn the trust of our consumers as well as build the Mackie reputation by providing high-quality, built-like-a-tank pro audio products," says Matt Redmon, Director of Product Marketing at Mackie.
