KRK has expanded its Classic line of studio monitors with the addition of 7-inch and 8-inch models. Incorporating over 30 years of innovation from the world’s leading studio monitor manufacturer, KRK’s Classic product range was designed using concepts from the brand’s previous Rokit lines but at a lower price-point.
The Classic active two-way studio monitors include bi-amped class-A/B amplifiers with a built-in automatic limiter and a low-resonance enclosure, and the option to engage the +2 dB KRK Bass Boost.
Like the Classic 5, the Classic 7 and Classic 8 use a 1-inch textile, soft-dome tweeter paired with either a 7-inch, or 8-inch glass aramid woofer, promising ‘a clear midrange and tighter bass’. The monitors feature a front-slotted bass port, which reduces boundary coupling and allows flexible positioning within a room. A preinstalled hi-density foam pad decouples the enclosure from the mounting surface, further 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, quarter-inch, RCA) allow for universal connectivity, making it seamless to integrate Classic monitors into any studio set-up.
‘We are thrilled to welcome two new solutions to KRK’s family of professional-grade studio monitor offerings,’ says Gibson Director of Marketing, Sterling Doak. ‘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.’
