NASHVILLE, TN - KRK Systems (krkmusic.com) has introduced the Kreate series of studio monitors - a value-priced line for musicians, engineers, producers and content creators. The two-way studio monitors offer wireless audio streaming capabilities with a pairable Bluetooth audio input, alongside balanced and unbalanced analog inputs for flexible connectivity. The monitors also have a universal voltage, switch-mode power supply for seamless global operations.
The Kreate Series is available in three sizes — three-, five- and eight-inch — all featuring a wide bandwidth, boundary and tuning EQs, new transducer designs, and Class D amplification. The series also features acoustic boundary correction and tuning EQ combinations to help minimize and correct acoustic environment problems.
The monitors' composite woven glass fiber cone woofers provide impressive dynamics with good damping and modal control to deliver tight and punchy mid- and low-frequency response. The glass fiber structure is heat-resistant and features a high strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring the monitors are highly adaptable and sonically accurate. Additionally, high-frequency reproduction emanates from a carefully-designed, woven-textile dome tweeter with a neodymium motor, which accurately extends the frequency range up to 40kHz in the Kreate 8 and 5 options, and up to 33kHz in the model 3 option. Furthermore, the system-tuning level control, and low-frequency and high-frequency shelving filters allow for easy adjustment in various acoustic conditions.
Hybrid Class D and Class AB amplification delivers power and headroom with excellent dynamics reproduction. The high-performance transducers are optimized for improved response and accuracy. For maximum transient response and dynamics reproduction, the amplifiers drive the transducers efficiently at reduced operating temperatures to ensure audio integrity during long work sessions.
The Kreate 3 models ($179) are sold as a pair, while the Kreate 5 ($169) and Kreate 8 ($229) options are available individually. Additional color options will be available through select authorized dealers and on krkmusic.com in the coming months.
