CR-XBT Multimedia Monitors Introduction Getting Started CR-XBT Series Creative Reference Multimedia Monitors offer studio-quality sound with cosmetics that compliment any desk whether you’re making music, creating content, or just relaxing to your favorite tunes. The sleek design of CR-XBT features a brushed metal panel and a distinct outline that stands out. We realize that you can’t wait to hook up your CR-XBT Multimedia Monitors and try them out.
CR3-XBT / CR4-XBT / CR5-XBT / CR8-XBT CR3-XBT / CR4-XBT / CR5-XBT / CR8-XBT Owner’s Manual Hookup Diagrams The illustration above shows a typical use for CR-XBT Series Multimedia Monitors. Everyone needs tunes while working, right... or is it just me? In this example, simply connect the (included) cable from the computer’s 1/8" output jack to the L/R RCA inputs of the powered CR-XBT Series Multimedia Monitor. If you prefer to use 1/4" inputs instead of RCA inputs, that option is available, too.

CR3-XBT / CR4-XBT / CR5-XBT / CR8-XBT CR3-XBT / CR4-XBT / CR5-XBT / CR8-XBT The illustration above shows a common use for CR-XBT Series Multimedia Monitors. Perhaps a friend created a playlist on their smartphone and wants to share it. With great hesitation, you finally oblige. Everyone has that one friend with terrible taste in music. We know, it happens.
3. Signal Inputs Connect the line-level signal from a computer, mixer, or other signal source to one pair of these input jacks. There are two types of input connectors to choose from: 1/4" line-level signals driven by balanced or unbalanced sources or RCA line-level signals driven by unbalanced sources. Since these are connected together electrically, do not connect more than one signal at a time to the input jacks.
CR-XBT Multimedia Monitors 5. Powered Speaker Position Select Switch Here you get to decide if the powered monitor is to be positioned on the left side (switch up) or right side (switch down) of the desk. One convenience is that it keeps the power cord, front and/or rear panel connections from crossing your work space. Additionally, it doesn’t discriminate between right or left-handed users. Simply set it up to suit your preference. 6.
Even though these cables are included, they might need to be replaced at some point [e.g. cats play tug-of-war, you ran out of ribbon to tie a gift and used these instead]. Or perhaps you prefer to use the 1/4" inputs. If so, we recommend using high-quality, shielded cables to connect the signal source to the signal input jacks on CR-XBT Series multimedia monitors. While CR-XBT is in pairing mode, simultaneously scan for Bluetooth devices on your smartphone.
