KRK Expands Classic Line of Studio Monitors with New Seven- and Eight-Inch Models

June 17 2021, 00:25
Building on KRK's legacy of accuracy and performance, the brand announces the expansion of its Classic line of studio monitors with the addition of 7- and 8-inch models. The studio monitor manufacturer that is still part of the reborn Gibson decided to reinforce its Classic product range, designed using concepts from the brand’s previous ROKIT lines, to deliver the same high-quality results that users have come to expect from KRK at a lower price-point.
 

“We are thrilled to welcome two new solutions to KRK’s family of professional-grade studio monitor offerings,” says Sterling Doak, Director of Marketing for Gibson. “Joining KRK’s Classic 5, the new Classic 7 and Classic 8 provide the enhanced bass response and sound that music creators around the world have trusted for years. Perfect for all genres of music, KRK Classic monitors provide artists, producers, and engineers with the renowned KRK sound, without breaking the bank. Plus, with three sizes to choose from, there’s now a Classic monitor for everyone.”

True to their name, KRK’s Classic active two-way studio monitors are packed with a multitude of time-tested features, including innovative bi-amped Class A/B amplifiers with a built-in automatic limiter and a low-resonance enclosure for minimized distortion and colorization. With the optional ability to engage the +2 dB KRK Bass Boost, the Classic line of studio monitors can hold true to the brand's sound.

Like the Classic 5 introduced in late 2019, the new Classic 7 and Classic 8 monitors utilize a 1-inch textile, soft-dome tweeter paired with either a 7-, or 8-inch glass aramid woofer, depending on the size monitor selected, delivering a clear midrange and tighter bass. KRK Classic monitors feature a front-slotted bass port, which reduces boundary coupling and allows for flexible positioning within a room. The monitors are also designed with a preinstalled hi-density foam pad to decouple the speaker enclosure from the surface, helping with clarity and accurate frequency response. 

With high- and low-frequency controls, users can adjust the monitors’ sound to their environment and preference, adding versatility and improved accuracy for mixes that translate in any production environment. Additionally, multiple input connections (XLR, 1/4-inch, and RCA) allow for universal connectivity, making it seamless to integrate Classic monitors into any studio setup.
