New S-series of powered studio subwoofers launched by KRK!

| |

Today, KRK have announced their new S-range consisting of 8 inch, 10 inch and 12 inch studio subwoofers.  KRK are renowned for producing equipment that the highest quality sound output emanates from and these subwoofers are no exception.  The subwoofers provide clear sound and precise low frequency detail which enhances all professional mixes.  The range includes 8s2, 10s2, 12s2 and 12sHO. 

Each of the subs are finely tuned and as a result produce clean, tight bass reproduction, along with exceptionally high Sound Pressure Levels (SPLs) without any distortion, ability to bypass the whole subwoofer if required, use variable Crossover which ensures the woofers can be adjusted to any sized Nearfield monitor, smooth transition at any crossover-frequency, and finally the units can be placed anywhere in the studio thanks to the front slotted bass port and limited high frequency.

Below is the new range of KRK subwoofers in a little more detail.

8s2 - 8” studio subwoofer

The 8s2 is a compact yet powerful 8” glass aramid composite subwoofer which does not compromise on the sound quality that KRK are well known for.  Included in the woofers robust and purposely designed casing is a powerful Class-D amplifier (used to increase transient response, punch and control including the low-frequencies), a 4-position crossover control (allows for easy connection to your existing setup), XLR, ¼ inch TRS and RCA input/output connections, input and sensitivity controls, ground lift switch and footswitch control which enables/disables sub and crossover filter (footswitch not included).  The 8s2 has a maximum Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of 112dB and a Bass extension to 30Hz!

10s2 - 10” studio subwoofer
