KRK has announced the GoAux Portable Monitor System – portable professional monitor loudspeakers featuring Bluetooth technology. Available in two compact sizes, the 3-inch GoAux 3 and 4-inch GoAux 4 promise the balanced frequency response of KRK’s larger systems in a new mobile-friendly size for engineers, producers, DJs, artists and mixers of all genres.
‘With so many artists back into the swing of travel after coronavirus lockdowns, we realise that the ability for them to produce and collaborate on the move is critical,’ says Gibson Brands Director of Marketing, Sterling Doak. ‘This addition to our line of studio monitors provides the solution: the perfect sized--three inches or four inches – monitors in a carrying case, with renowned KRK fidelity, and the freedom for anyone to take the studio anywhere. This is a paradigm shift for creating when creativity strikes.’
KRK claims the launch of GoAux as an industry first, ‘a unique and complete portable monitor solution for travelling audio professionals on a budget’. Both the KRK GoAux 3 and GoAux 4 are all-in-one monitors that can’t be found anywhere else. The KRK GoAux monitors feature Bluetooth capability, allowing users to connect wirelessly to their smartphone, computer, or other Bluetooth-capable audio devices, in addition to standard 3.5mm aux and RCA stereo inputs.
With glass aramid woofers work and a 1-inch soft textile dome tweeter in a bi-amplified two-way design, loaded in rear-ported ABS cabinets, the monitors’ response can be tailored to room and personal preference using to built-in LF and HF EQ. Connecting headphones to the front panel 3.5mm stereo output automatically mutes the GoAux speakers for a silent monitoring option.
GoAux 4 offers additional features, such as a measurement microphone and built-in Auto ARC (automatic room correction). This allows automatic optimisation of the speakers’ response to the acoustic environment. The GoAux 4also offers additional USB and quarter-inch TRS balanced stereo inputs.
