Mackie CR4/CR3 disassembly and internal photos

So these speakers broke after about 2.5 years of use. I expected them to last longer than that, so I'm pretty disappointed. Anyway I decided to take apart the active speaker with the power supply in, so here's a guide.


1. First remove all the screws around the outside on the rear of the speaker. Don't remove the screws which aren't around the edge.
Step 1 - remove outer screws only
2. Put your finger into the ventilation hole and pull off the back panel.
Step 2
3. If you need to remove the front of the speaker, then reach inside and there are four screws to be removed, one in each corner.
