KRK Systems

KRK Systems has updated its popular KRK10s to match the new RokitG2 monitors.

Description:

The industrial design of the KRK10s leverages KRK’s research and development into baffle design and fabrication. The subwoofer’s curved front now matches the Rokit and VXT monitors’ diffraction reducing shape.

Updated electronics include a ground-lift switch for combating less than perfect electrical and audio grounding and a bypass footswitch that allows the subwoofer and crossover to be easily enabled and disabled. The bypass footswitch allows users to easily switch a mix from stereo or 2.1/5.1 sound environments. Improved amplifier heat sinking results in lower distortion at high power levels and the KRK10s has a lower noise floor than its predecessor.

The voicing has been slightly enhanced to provide even better mix clarity and precision and the scientifically designed front firing port reduces wall coupling and port turbulence.

I use a pair of first generation Rokit 5’s, paired with a Rokit 10s and have been happy with them – but the bypass footswitch is a great addition, along with the other tweaks.

Pricing and Availability:

The KRK10s replaces the existing RP10s subwoofer and will be available to buy in the UK from all good pro audio dealers for £299 inc. VAT

NAMM Show: KRK Systems announced the release of the Exposé E8B studio monitors.

For those of you familiar with KRK from their entry-level monitors, though, the E8B’s price may be a shock. The new KRK Systems Exposé E8B monitor is available now and has a suggested retail price of $5,995 a pair.

The new E8B utilizes state-of-the-art components to help achieve clarity and sonic accuracy that improves on the original and creates a monitor that is the best in the business. KRK engineers have incorporated feedback from the recording industry’s most well regarded professionals in the design of the E8B. The Exposé has been designed to be linear and as flat as technically possible so that what you hear reflects the true nature of the audio material. KRK Engineers have also taken measures to significantly reduce distortion through the implementation of design concepts that reduce port turbulence and diffraction.

“It was important for us to integrate the feedback of the most important engineers and producers into the design of the next monitor in the industry renowned Exposé line” commented Mike Newman, KRK System’s Product Manager. Read more…
