NASHVILLE, JANUARY
19, 2021 –
KRK
announces
the latest addition to its range of studio gear with a new generation
of powered subwoofers. Coming spring 2021, the new series of KRK
Studio Subwoofers will be available in 8-, 10-, and 12-inch
variations: S8.4, S10.4, and S12.4. Building on KRK’s legacy of
sonic accuracy and performance, the new KRK subwoofers deliver tight,
accurate, and defined bass, while the highly efficient Class D power
amplifiers dramatically increase transient response, control, and
punch. The redesigned cabinets feature a more compact profile
compared to their predecessors, allowing for improved placement
flexibility and a timeless design that provides a more professional
aesthetic.
“KRK’s
redesigned subwoofers don’t just deliver precise bass and a rich
feature set; they’re the next dimension in subwoofer performance,”
says Sterling Doak, Dire
ctor of Marketing for Gibson. “When mixing
tracks for bass-heavy genres, it is especially important for
producers and DJs to integrate a quality subwoofer solution into
their studio set up. Our new generation of subwoofers are perfect for
reproducing the low end of your mix—ensuring that you’re giving
your tracks the exact amount of bass you desire.”
The
new KRK Studio Subwoofers feature a wealth of connectivity options
with XLR, 1/4" TRS, and RCA inputs and outputs
that
interface
with just about any manufacturer’s studio monitors, mixers, and/or
audio interfaces. With an exclusive bypass control feature, users can
send full-range audio to their monitors at the click of an optional
footswitch without having to move out of the monitoring sweet spot to
turn off the subwoofer. This allows for instant comparisons with (and
without) the subwoofer’s contributions to the sound. Additionally,
polarity and input sensitivity controls allow for phase coherence and
level-matching to enhance the quality of your mixes.
Additional
refinements to the KRK subwoofers include modestly improved
low-frequency extension, improved porting for enhanced low-frequency
phase response and less port noise, as well as a four-position
crossover frequency selection switch, making it easy to adjust the
subwoofer’s settings to optimally match existing monitors. Designed
with an inverted dust cap and removable all-steel grille option with
reinforced MDF enclosure, KRK’s latest generation of subwoofers
offer a durable solution with excellent driver protection.
Additionally, the woven aramid composite woofer provides a rigid and
lightweight driver for optimal sound quality and a front-firing port
allows for placement near walls without interference from a
rear-firing port, increasing the subwoofer’s overall flexibility.
“With
studio subwoofers, users are looking to achieve the most balanced,
tight, and pure sound—and with KRK subwoofers, what you hear is
what you get,” adds Doak. “Pairing a KRK subwoofer with any KRK
studio monitor will deliver an optimized listening and mixing
experience with extended low end.”
