General
KRK is undoubtedly the world's most well-known manufacturer of studio reference monitors and subwoofers. Their products provide a neutral representation of the original audio source which is important regardless of whether studio production is your hobby or your profession. If you like to mix in surround sound, then your nearfield monitors probably provide insufficient low. That's why KRK has released a number of upgraded subwoofers to augment these with a clear, accurate low range.
Compact Design, Powerful Sound
This 8s2 subwoofer by KRK is the very latest in neutral, accurate low-frequency audio reproduction that can complement any KRK nearfield monitor. This is partially thanks to the specially-designed glass aramid woofer, which is a material that ensures an accurate, defined low with enough punch to add liveliness and character to your mix. The Class-D amplifier is responsible for filtering out any unnecessary frequencies that could interfere with the low range during the mixing process. At the end of the day, the KRK 8s2 sub just makes your work as a studio engineer/mixer easier!
Adjustable Crossover and Bypass Control
Via the 4-step adjustable crossover, you can easily fine-tune this subwoofer's low frequency range and balance it to match your nearfield monitors perfectly. When you use it in combination with an existing set of monitors, you'll get a punchy, tight, low response that won't sacrifice any mid-tones. Additionally, the woofers inside the nearfields won't be deactivated; in fact, they'll be enhanced. The 8s2 by KRK represents a whole new dimension in subwoofer performance!
