KRK V8S4 Studio Monitor White, Single

Full Description

Bi-Amplified Reference Monitor

The KRK V8S4 is a two-way, full-range studio reference monitor designed to deliver extreme accuracy and superior control. The V8S4 builds on the success of KRK's innovative studio monitor range, combining the best of modern technology while retaining the classic principles that produced the high-quality reference monitors. The V8S4 Active Studio Monitor includes a 1-inch KRK designed Kevlar tweeter, accompanied by a 8-inch lightweight custom woven Kevlar woofer. The Kevlar construction for both the woofer and tweeter ensures a smooth midrange, combatting against colourisation. The two-way design is driven by the 230 watt custom, bi-amped Class-D amplifier that provides immense power for exceptional audio quality.

Ideal For Mixing & Mastering

The custom designed tweeter and woofer deliver exceptional audio fidelity, capturing every nuance of your original source audio as it was intended. The extreme sound reproduction is ideal for mixing and mastering purposes. The bi-amplified design delivers a pristine and silky high-end with a tight, punchy end as well as exceptional stereo imaging and superior transient speed. The front-firing optimised bass reflex enclosure provides added punch on the low-end, ideal for referencing bass sections that can normally be hard to hear. The rich and highly-detailed sound makes it ideal for mixing, allowing you to make subtle changes that you can clearly hear.

49 DSP Equalisation Presets

One of the most unique and useful features of the KRK V8S4 Active Studio Monitor is the 49 DSP driven EQ presets. These varied presets are ideal for catering to different rooms/desks for audio optimisation. The user-selectable presets ensure optimal performance for room acoustics and placement anomalies. The presets were developed by the KRK design team, analysing hundreds of monitor placement and room acoustic situations to deliver the most useful tools for audio performance.

Design & Construction

The KRK V8S4 Active Studio Monitor features the classic KRK design and high-quality construction. The solid aluminium front-baffle helps to stabilise and improve transient response and imaging. This monitor also comes complete with robust EVA foam pad for non-skid and acoustic isolation, helping to improve the monitor's performance in a range of environments. Universal threaded mounting bracket points are also included for easy mounting capabilities. The sleek design features a precise input level attenuation switch, as well as standby, ground lift, input sensitivity and logo LED selectors. Additionally, the studio monitor comes complete with an optional protective grille for mobile broadcast applications.
