Connect the USB-C side of a USB cable to
the CR StealthBar and the USB-A side to the
computer’s USB port.
Don’t forget to change the output to ‘CR StealthBar’
via Settings on your computer.
CR StealthBar’s USB connection is audio
only. It is not a source of power.
6. 1/8" Stereo Input Jack
Connect a line-level signal from a smartphone,
MP3 player or other signal source to this input jack
using an unbalanced 1/8" connector.
It is wired as follows, according to standards
specified by the AES (Audio Engineering Society):
Stereo 1/8" TRS
Sleeve = Shield (Ground)
Tip = Left Channel
Ring = Right Channel
7. 1/8" Output Jack
This 1/8" stereo output jack connects to the input of
a powered subwoofer or powered monitors. The signal
at this output is a direct copy of the input signal.
It shouldn’t come as any surprise that we would
highly recommend the CR8S-XBT subwoofer – see
the hookup diagram on page 5 – and/or any sized
CR-X / CR-XBT monitors. Check the Mackie website
for more information!
Adjustable Feet
On the bottom of CR StealthBar are angled feet.
These may be removed or replaced so the setup
may be tilted perfectly for your situation: no tilt (0˚),
8˚ or 15˚.
Here’s how to change the feet. Unplug CR Stealthbar
and place it on a flat surface, bottom-side up.
[The volume knob will be on the right side].
“Pull” the foot towards you until it’s “released”
and may be lifted up and out. Follow this same step
for the other foot.
Place the new foot in the open holes and “push”
forward until it’s “locked” in place. Follow this same
step for the other foot.

8. EQ Preset Switch
This is a momentary switch that cycles between
unique EQ modes: Music, Voice and Game.
Just press this switch repeatedly to cycle between
the EQ presets. A voice prompt announces which EQ
is currently selected.
• MUSIC EQ MODE –
This mode features an upper
bass parametric scoop to reduce unwanted low
frequency color and adds boost to upper mid-range
and high frequencies.
• VOICE EQ MODE –
This mode is perfect
for applications where the desired output
is increased clarity and detail of intelligible
speech at low volumes.
• GAME EQ MODE –
This mode is full range,
but focuses on increased bass and brilliant high
frequencies. This is the setting that gamers will
want to select when saving the world from
the zombie apocalypse.
• À LA MODE –
This mode features any of the
aforementioned EQ preset modes, but with
a scoop of ice cream.
The high frequency rolloff for all three EQ
modes is 18 kHz.
