- Speaker cables between the sub and your monitors are not listed as included.
FAQ
Can I add Bluetooth to my old powered speakers with it?
Yes. Connect them to the CR8SBT outputs and stream from your phone to the sub – the whole system plays.
What does the CRDV remote do?
It sits on your desk and controls the overall system level and the subwoofer level separately.
