KRK Systems Design Philosophies

KRK Systems is the most dedicated monitor company in the world and we are thrilled you have joined our ever growing family of loyal customers. The following information helps explain why we are the most successful monitor company in the world.

Our Focus is Your Mix

At KRK, our focus has always been to make the most accurate studio monitors available at any price.

We don’t offer PA gear, mixers or motorcycles – just the tools you need to deliver a great mix. From the legendary Exposé Series, to VXT to the new RoKit Generation 2 series – we know recording monitors.

We do not add sonic characteristics like some other manufacturers that make their monitosr appear to provide more SPL or add low frequencies that demo well in the store. No smoke and mirrors here. Just 100% pure KRK!

When you use a KRK monitor, you can be confident that your mixes will translate well to the wide variety of playback conditions that can occur in the real world. We want your audio mixes to sound good everywhere – not just in your studio!

Square is Out – It’s All About the Curves

Our new RoKit has radically curved surfaces for a reason: it sounds better. Traditional rectangular speakers suffer from diffraction as sounds leaving the edge of the cabinet are reflected back into the sound field causing phase distortion. The Generation 2 RoKit series virtually eliminates diffraction and provides a wider sweet spot with radically engineered curved surfaces.

Waveguide Design – Your Mixes Should Be Three Dimensional Not Flat

When attempting to create a mix that has the proper panning, depth and frequency response, it is crucial to have excellent imaging with proper phase characteristics . The waveguide surrounding the tweeter is critical for this purpose.

A good waveguide provides high frequency pattern control and focuses the sound outward, away from the cabinet – not along the plane of the cabinet where waveform interaction can cause phase problems with increased diffraction. At KRK we pride ourselves on our waveguide designs as being one of the most critical components to our award winning performance, but our good looks don’t hurt either.

Port Design – Don’t Get Bitten From the Rear

Take a look at competitive monitors and you'll find ports on the back of the cabinet. These rear-firing ports tend to create bass coupling with walls and corners amplifying low frequency information which will color your mix – talk about junk in the trunk! The superior design of the KRK Generation 2 RoKits include front-firing ports, which are just the right shape to reduce port turbulence. You'll appreciate the clean and accurate bass performance this approach delivers, even at high SPLs.

G2 specifications

The KRK G2, part of the well-respected KRK line of studio monitors, represents a significant advancement in audio technology, designed for both professionals and enthusiasts in music production and sound design. With a commitment to delivering accurate sound reproduction, the G2 series continues to be a popular choice among audio engineers, producers, and musicians.

One of the standout features of the KRK G2 monitors is their bi-amplified design. Each speaker is equipped with separate amplifiers for the high and low frequencies, which translates to better dynamic range and improved performance. The bi-amplification ensures that the speakers can handle a wide range of frequencies without distortion, allowing for clearer and more accurate sound reproduction.

The G2 series incorporates KRK’s proprietary Kevlar drivers that provide consistent sonic performance across the entire frequency spectrum. The use of Kevlar results in a more rigid and durable driver, reducing coloration and enabling a more transparent sound. This is especially important for monitoring applications where precision is key.

Another notable feature of the KRK G2 monitors is the front-firing bass port. This design enhances the low-end response without compromising the overall sound quality. It allows for better placement of the monitors in smaller spaces while minimizing boundary coupling, resulting in a clearer and more defined bass response. Additionally, the monitor’s frequency response ranges from 38 Hz to 40 kHz, providing an extensive range that caters to varied audio applications.

The G2 series also includes user-friendly controls such as front panel volume, and rear-panel EQ adjustments that allow for fine-tuning the monitor’s performance based on the specific acoustic characteristics of the room. This flexibility makes them suitable for a wide range of environments, from home studios to professional recording setups.

Furthermore, the KRK G2 monitors come with a sleek, modern design that not only looks appealing but also enhances their functionality. The distinctive yellow cone is emblematic of KRK's identity and serves as a visual cue of the premium audio performance users can expect.

In conclusion, the KRK G2 monitors combine innovative technologies with user-focused features to deliver an exceptional listening experience. With their bi-amplified design, Kevlar drivers, front-firing bass port, and adjustable EQ options, they empower creators to achieve high-quality sound reproduction, making them a favored choice in the competitive arena of audio monitoring. Whether you are a seasoned professional or an aspiring music producer, the KRK G2 series offers the tools you need to fine-tune your audio projects.
