capability, Internal and defeatable Limiter, and both balanced and
unbalanced inputs. In addition the subwoofer has an internal
crossover which can be switched in and out of the path when
muting the sub which allows full range material to be compared
with and without subsonic content. A sturdy grill protects the driver
cone and adds to the sleek appearance of the unit.
While subsonic frequencies are heavily implemented in some
musical genres, all studios benefit from the use of a sub to monitor
this low frequency content. With the prevalent use of home theater
systems, as well as commercial systems in clubs and cinemas –
production studios require the capability to identify and correct
problems such as unwanted low frequency components, exterior
noise, microphone rumble and vibrations. The increase of home
and project mastering means many potentially great pieces of
music are being poorly represented when played back on a larger
system. When dealing with subsonic frequencies if they cannot be
heard accurately they cannot be mixed accurately.
definition low frequency monitoring including some of the most
prestigious studios across the world. Now, the KRK12s provides a
larger low frequency driver for enhanced performance that is
within the budget of even the most modest home, or project
studio. Whether you are mixing in any surround environment (up
to 10.2) or just looking to upgrade the low frequency extension of
your existing stereo monitors, the KRK12s is designed to meet the
task.
This performance is brought to you by drivers, enclosures and
technology which is custom-designed by our world-class studio
