KRK SYSTEMS
®
KRK Systems is one of the world's most respected manufacturers of studio reference monitors. We came to this
lofty position by focusing on accuracy and honesty with the goal of making it possible for recording engineers
to hear every nuance of the audio being reproduced. KRK monitors are tools that are cherished by their owners
as partners in crafting great music and mixes.
Since 1986, we have been driven by a design philosophy of accuracy, transparency, and flat response.
Our products deliver on this promise through a combination of solid design and product innovation. We were
among the first manufacturers to take a quantum leap in woofer performance through the use of Kevlar. Our VXT
monitors are constructed from a remarkable material that allows for its diffraction-reducing shape while
increasing internal cabinet volume for better low frequency extension. The pinnacle of audio performance, the
KRK Expose E8B uses an exotic tweeter material that provides the ultimate in high-frequency detail. We were
among the first to introduce active (powered) monitors that precisely match amplifiers and electronics with the
transducer elements. These are all examples of innovations that produce solid acoustic benefits, not a pursuit of
the latest trends or fads. Our focus is your mix, and every KRK monitor delivers on this commitment.
When you purchase a KRK monitor, you join a family of elite musicians and engineers that rely on KRK monitors
to deliver accurate sound reproduction and acoustic precision, day in and day out. The signature yellow woofer
of a KRK monitor tells the world that you and your monitor are true to the mix and true to your craft. KRK studio
monitors enable you to confidently make the critical decisions that impact the music and audio program
material the world listens to.
Our Focus. Your Mix.

The KRK Exposé E8B is the flagship of KRK’s product line. Dollar for dollar, mix for mix, there is no finer recording monitor available. The Exposé E8B blends technology and
form to achieve a level of clarity and sonic accuracy that is unprecedented. This mid-field monitor utilizes two discrete high-power Class A/AB power amplifiers — one each for
the tweeter and woofer — with symmetrical heat sinks built into the sides of the cabinet for cool, reliable operation. These two amplifiers are perfectly mated to the
exceptional transducer complement. The high frequencies are reproduced using a revolutionary tweeter made of beryllium and aluminum (AlBeMet). This exotic material delivers
smooth and incredibly detailed highs, thanks to the strength and ultra-low mass of this amazing tweeter. This high-frequency performance is teamed with a signature KRK yellow
multilayered Kevlar/Rohacell woofer. The Kevlar/Rohacell "sandwich" provides strength and stiffness without excess mass, resulting in bass and transients that are tight, punchy,
and true to life and your mix. These components are housed in a stunning, highly functional enclosure that features thick, non-parallel, internal walls that eliminate standing waves,
a non-slip, sound absorbing rubberized base, and magnetic shielding for use in close proximity to video monitors. The Exposé E8B is the pinnacle of studio monitor performance
and reinforces KRK’s reputation as a manufacturer of premium studio reference monitors.

Professional recording studios, broadcast studios, serious project studios... these are demanding applications for any monitor. If your needs demand more power, more accuracy, more
precision, more mounting options, look no further than KRK's VXT line. Drawing upon the design characteristics of our Exposé E8B, the VXT product family consists of the powerful
VXT8 near/mid-field monitor, the mighty VXT6 nearfield, and the "small but mighty" VXT4 nearfield, whose bass response will have everyone asking, "Where's the subwoofer?"
All three models have a visually striking enclosure made out of structural ABS foam. This material increases speaker performance by reducing cabinet resonance while improving
structural integrity. Due to its rigidity, this material allows the VXT to have more interior volume than other similarly sized speakers, which results in extended low-frequency response.
Other design cues include front slotted bass ports for reduced port turbulence and a sleek curvature that provides excellent imaging and a wider “sweet spot." The domed tweeter is
made from true silk for fast transient response, and the new woofer design has a stiffer, lighter cone that provides low distortion and extended low-end. Both transducers have vented
formers to remove heat and reduce the effects of power compression — enabling these monitors to maintain their sonic signature hour after hour, day after day. With
uncompromising attention to detail that includes tamper resistant switch covers, integrated OmniMount® support optional front grills and more, the VXT Series is an outstanding choice
for a broad range of monitoring applications.

Just because your budget is smaller than that of a mega-studio doesn't mean you don't deserve a great set of monitors. For years, KRK Rokit monitors have provided accurate sound
for small bedroom, project as well as pro studios. The latest Generation 2 (G2) Rokits bring KRK quality monitoring to the masses. KRK’s Rokit G2 powered studio monitors are
designed to give amazing performance and accuracy for the home or project studio. The G2 Rokits have curved edges to prevent problems caused by early sound wave
reflections of a traditional box enclosure. This results in a better image in a wider area so even with small head movements you are always getting the best picture. The Rokit G2s
also feature a great looking cabinet with a front-firing bass port and a glass-aramid composite woofer for tight, punchy bass. The soft-domed tweeters provide silky-smooth
high-frequency response that does not fatigue. Dual high-power amplifiers in each speaker and active crossovers provide solid power and crystal-clear detail. The latest evolution in
the Rokit range deliver the most accurate response curve in their class, and deliver professional level studio monitor performance at an incredibly affordable price.

Subwoofers are fast becoming a necessity in many studios. Surround sound mixing and today's bass-heavy dance music demand accurate sound reproduction in the bass
frequencies. Subwoofers allow for the use of smaller main monitors, and can be a great soluton for space-challenged control rooms or mixing environments. The KRK10s powered
subwoofer is the perfect compliment to KRK Rokit, VXT, or any other 4”-8” studio monitor. The KRK10s is designed to extend the bass performance of an existing monitor system so
that the low-frequency portion of the mix can be properly engineered. The KRK10s also feature a great looking cabinet that echoes the curved edges of the Rokit and VXT monitors.
The front-firing bass port and KRK’s trademark yellow glass-aramid composite woofer ensure accurate and powerful low-end punch. A sturdy grill protects the woofer and adds to the
sleek appearance of the unit. A high-power amplifier and active crossovers provide smooth and accurate reproduction.

A great mix starts with a great recording room. But when it comes to achieving the most accurate mix, your room may have the upper hand. Like any room, your studio’s acoustics
include offending frequencies and room reflections, and none of these are helping your mix. You can get even closer to a perfect room, and a perfect mix, because the future of
studio sound is here, and it’s called ERGO. ERGO is a digital room analysis/correction system that consists of the ERGO unit, a microphone, and control software. These three pieces
are used to measure and analyze phase/frequency problems within a listening environment. ERGO not only corrects for your acoustic environment, it also helps your control
environment. Because as much care went into ERGO’s ergonomic structure as its correction capability, you have even more control of your mix under just one hand. First a large
analog volume control provides ultra-smooth control over all ERGO’s outputs. ERGO’s independent headphone volume control and speaker switcher are also right where you can find
them without a second look. Add FireWire recording interface, S/PDIF input and subwoofer control and you have an incredible and compact monitoring powerhouse. Whether you
are mixing in a project studio, a tour bus, hotel room, or a professional facility, ERGO in the mix means that the mix will be right... in any environment.
ERGO Features
Large Volume Knob Ultra-smooth response volume control provides
simultaneous control of ERGO’s A/B/Sub outputs.
“A” Speakers Enables or disables the audio being sent to the “A” speakers.
“B” Speakers Enables or disables the audio being sent to the “B” or
subwoofer speakers.
Room Correction Turns room correction processing On or Off.
Focus/Global Our 3D model allows users to preserve the “good” features of
the room, while correcting the bad. ERGO also doesn’t color the sound or
produce an artificial anechoic environment. In Focus mode, ERGO corrects for
your monitoring position. This gives you perfectly corrected sound while
mixing. In Global mode, the corrected spot is widened so that others
(producers, musicians, groupies) can enjoy your mix in a corrected
environment.
Headphone Volume (side panel) Adjusts the output level of the headphone
jack. The headphones have their own independent audio stream, or can
mirror the A stream.
Calibration Switch (back panel) this enables the room calibration microphone
and places ERGO into analysis mode.
In many ways the Backyard Studios which I established seven years ago is a very
accurate representation of what's going on in the recording world right now.
Producers and engineers continue the migration of their work from the traditional major
recording studios to smaller, more intimate personal spaces. Here we have virtually
everything you’d expect and a few things you might not -- we’re running Pro Tools 8.0,
mix through the new Dangerous 2-BussLT, SSL Compressor and Millenia EQ, and we
monitor on KRK Expose’ E8B.
The only challenge is that private studios like mine offer professional quality
electronics, but it is rare to match the “perfect” room acoustics of a high-end recording
studio. For example, in the back of the room we have a couch where producers and
clients sit and they often complain that the bass is too boomy. For good reason,
because that is exactly where the low end would build up. Those listening off axis had
an entirely different set of perceptions. We all want to figure out a way to put an end
to the trips to the car to do mix checks! We'll have an artist in the studio telling us it
sounds great and then they get into their car, come back and tell us that changes are
needed.
SMARTER THAN YOUR AVERAGE GEAR
Room correction products aren’t new, but thank goodness ERGO is. While conventional room
correction systems utilize simple analysis and limited bands of EQ (often fewer than 8), ERGO
uses multiple measurements and proprietary algorithms to create a 3D image of the room, and
then applies 1024 dynamic filters to control the audio environment. Our 3D model allows users
to preserve the “good” characteristics of the room, while correcting the bad... ERGO doesn’t
color the sound or produce an artificially sterile environment. ERGO produces the best mix for a
given room; a mix that will translate better to other listening environments, since it was mixed in
a “perfect” room.
The studios occupy a guesthouse in the back of my residence, and we have done a
fair amount of acoustic treatment including bass traps for the corners of our control
room, diffusers across the back wall, and custom designed and built baffles for the live
room. While we've had modest success in improving our listening room, we've had
sensational response to the work we've written, produced or engineered here
including hits for Lenka, Jason Reeves, Lucy Woodward, Don Henley, and Emmy
Rossum’s new album, “Inside Out,” which resulted in a JUNO nomination for Producer
of the Year. The recognition is terrific, but it doesn't keep me from wanting to continue
to improve professionally or acoustically! What I've learned is that no matter how
much I spend for the latest outboard processor, synth or studio monitors – if my room
doesn’t sound right the real problem is not going to be fixed. The unfortunate truth is
that the more I invest in everything other than acoustic treatment, the more it will
emphasize the acoustic deficiencies of my studio.
The sophisticated room analysis and correction system within ERGO, called “RoomPerfect” was
developed by Lyngdorf Audio in Denmark after many years of R & D work. The patented
algorithm in the system compares many measurements and corrects for phase and frequency
problems using thousands of filters, not just a few. The result is the most accurate mix possible.
The process of creating a recording/mixing room in the home or even a small
commercial space is no less difficult than building a professional facility from the
ground up. Some would argue that it is much more challenging – presenting problems
that can’t be solved no matter how much money is thrown at it. The lower the
offending frequency, the more vexing it is to fix the problem. Considering the modest
budgets normally associated with project studios, I think we can all agree that new
tools are needed to help us deal with this old problem.
“The Backyard Studios are a perfect fit for the ERGO, because like so
many other private studios out there, it has an imperfect acoustic
environment that needs ERGO's sonic magic”
- Stuart Brawley
The latest innovation here at The Backyard Studios is the new ERGO room tuning
device by KRK. So rather than make a major commitment to remodelling, we are using
ERGO to analyze, compensate and correct for the deficiencies. What we found is
that once we fixed the low end, the mids opened up, allowing me to really define key
elements in the mix much more quickly. The clarity of my monitoring system improved
exponentially, and now when we’re mixing, I’m not fatiguing my ears with unnecessary
volume.
Stuart has engineered or mixed records for Michael Jackson, Don Henley, NSYNC,
Barbra Streisand, Cher, Brandy, Nick Lachey, Seal, Celine Dion, Avion, The Mooney
Suzuki, The Matrix, and many more.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT WITH ERGO?
Once your system is set up, your room has been analyzed, and ERGO is correcting, you can expect:
For over 20 years, KRK has been the monitor of choice for recording engineers and artists responsible for creating some the greatest music
of our time. Radio and TV broadcasters choose KRK powered monitors for their legendary accuracy and transparency. When it is critical to
hear every nuance of every sound from Classical to Coltrane and Country to Clapton – KRK is the clear choice.
More accurate sound—room influences like bass build up, wall and desk loading, and muddiness are tamed.
Better imaging—by removing room problems, there are often dramatic improvements to imaging.
Ability to hear “deeper” into the mix—room problems cloud the lower midrange of a mix. ERGO’s correction tames this interference.
Better performing monitors—the best monitors in a bad room will be challenged to provide a detailed image of your mix. Since ERGO corrects the room problems, your monitors will perform to
their full potential.
Mixes that translate better—great rooms are the basis for great mixes. ERGO can help transform your room into a better acoustic environment so you can mix the music instead of compensating
for the room.
Before we made a decision we listened to a whole bunch of speakers
in our production studio -- our own taste test -- and picked out the KRKs.
Surprisingly, they were also a more economical choice. We have
country, rock and classical formats. The KRKs work for all of them.

Moog instruments connect people on multiple levels to their creativity, their music, their talent, their audience and their inspiration. Bob Moog's
namesake analog synthesizers have affected popular music in ways he might not have expected back in 1954. Synthesizers have infiltrated every
style of music, and so many companies have tried to recreate that analog sound. But above all the copycats and spin-offs, it always comes back to
one name: Moog. Any synth only sounds as good as the speakers it's played through which is why Moog chooses KRK for their factory showrooms.
is one of the five largest radio broadcasting companies in the United States, with a nationwide portfolio of 110 stations in 23 markets,
San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Denver, and Portland. Known for developing unique and highly successful locally programmed stations,

When we design our products we always start with the question “what does the customer really want?” The usual terms get thrown around like accuracy, reliability and precision.
But when we dig down to the real needs of the customer, the same answer keeps coming up: a product they can trust! Engineers and artists need products they can put their faith
in. Ones that deliver a true acoustic interpretation of the mix. This sounds simple… but it isn’t so simple when it comes to designing these complex speaker systems.
At KRK we take design and performance very seriously. If it’s not right… it won’t go to market… period! That is the kind dedication we pour into every product. And we do that
because we know our customers have come to trust us for that. We know they are dedicated to their music and the products they use deserve the same design dedication. This
“design first” mentality is what the company was founded on and has helped KRK become an industry leader in this highly specialized market.
Great sound doesn’t start with the studio, the microphone or the latest wiz-bang sampling device. It starts in the heart, and it starts with the truth — the very essence of the KRK design
philosophy. This is why we come to work every day. To deliver products that are true to the principles that KRK was founded on.
The KRK Team.
"Over the past five years I have produced hits for Mary J. Blige, The Pussycat Dolls, The Black Eyed Peas,
and Keyshia Cole listening exclusively to KRKs. KRKs are the benchmark for me. In production, in final mixes,
in casual listening sessions: it all leads back to KRKs. I have brought them to mix rooms, mastering rooms
and living rooms in order to establish that what I'm hearing — I'm hearing." KRKs are refined, pristeen, and
analytical, while at the same time kick serious ass, impress the hell out of artists, dazzle the promotion staff
and deliver an unforgettable sonic impression."
