Frequently Asked Questions
CR Bluetooth employs the Bluetooth v3.0 spec, which includes support for Classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth high speed and Bluetooth low energy protocols.
What version of Bluetooth is used in the CR BT monitors?
Note that pairing is different than connecting. Pairing is when devices “learn about” one another, and users can pair all of their various BT source devices with their CRBT monitors at their leisure, such that they instantly connect upon power-up during future use. However, only one device can be actively con-nected at any given time.
How many Bluetooth enabled devices can the hardware pair with at a time?
The Bluetooth v3.0 spec allows for up to 300 feet between the source device and playback device, however different environments (and other devices in the area) effect range and performance in different ways, and it is always recommended to keep the source device as close to the playback device – as is reasonable for the application – for optimal results
How far away from the speaker can you be before you lose connection?

Frequently Asked Questions
No, there are no mounting hardware.
Is there a mounting bracket accessory that is available?

What is the best way to position these speakers?
No, the CR series monitors are designed to accept a line level input and a higher level signal may either cause distortion or damage of the powered speaker.
Can I connect the CR monitors to an external preamplifier?
Yes, by using the Aux in jack on the front of the powered monitor.
Can I connect my iPhone/iPad/Android directly to it?
Yes, they are magnetically shielded to prevent distortion of your computer screen or television set. You can place your CR monitor directly next to them.
Are the CR series monitors magnetically shielded?
Yes, the monitors can be left on, even when not being used. It would be suggested to turn the monitors off when not being used in order to prolong their life span.
Can I leave my CR monitors on all the time?
