General
Do you need more subwoofer power in your studio? Then the KRK 12S HO is the perfect solution. KRK has redesigned the original 12S and given it extra bass ports around the woofer for even more sound pressure! It still has the bass reflex design, but a more efficient version of it.
Why the 12S HO version?
Some types of music have such deep bass that you can't experience it properly with regular listening gear. If you're a fan of dubstep, you'll know exactly what we're talking about. Of course, you want the bass to sound natural, and that's exactly what the 12S HO was designed to do.
Subwoofer with built-in amplifier
As you might have guessed, the KRK 12S HO has an amplifier built in. This means that the woofer always gets optimal power, resulting in efficient, tight bass reproduction. The subwoofer is easy to place on the floor and can also be easily worked into a setup thanks to its compact design.
