KRK Revamps Best-Selling Subwoofer

Aug 27, 2008 2:45 AM

KRK Systems has launched an updated version of its 10-inch recording subwoofer, the new KRK10s, which replaces the existing RP10s subwoofer and incorporates a sleek industrial design that matches the company's recently launched Rokit G2 monitors. It also includes including significant feature enhancements that address real-world home, pro and project-studio applications.

 

Updated electronics include a ground-lift switch for combating less-than-perfect electrical and audio grounding and a bypass footswitch that allows the subwoofer and crossover to be enabled and disabled. The bypass footswitch also allows users to switch a mix from stereo or 2.1/5.1 sound environments. Improved amplifier heat sinking aims for lower distortion at high power levels, and the KRK10s has a lower noise floor than its predecessor.

 

The KRK10s innovations also extend to the sound of the product. Powerful bass reinforcement is the goal of KRK's trademark yellow-cone, 10-inch, high excursion glass-aramid woofer, and the voicing has been slightly enhanced to provide even better mix clarity and precision, while the scientifically designed front firing port reduces wall coupling and port turbulence.

 

The new KRK10s is priced at $399 and is available now at leading music retailers. For more info, visit www.krksys.com.
