Nice size and sound. Wish it had the on off button on the front as it is hard to reach on the back side when unit is against the wall in my setup

Deep Bass, separate control is a great feature. Connects to Bluetooth seamlessly.

Can 2 audio sources play on the subwoofer at the ...

Can 2 audio sources play on the subwoofer at the same time? I want to run my computer speakers and a vinyl player.
Asked by: Hunter
The Mackie CR8SBT Powered 8" Subwoofer with Bluetooth (Black) can only accept a single stereo audio feed. In order to combine the PC audio and Vinyl player, you would need a basic mixer like the Mackie Mix5 - 5-Channel Compact Mixer (B&H # MAMIX5) to mix both stereo feeds into a single stereo feed.
