The KRK12s powered subwoofer is the perfect complement to KRK
VXT series, KRK Rokit series, or any other 6”-10” studio monitor.
The KRK12s is designed to extend the response of an existing
monitor system so that the low-frequency portion of the mix can be
engineered. The KRK12s features the powerful accurate and low
distortion sound that is the hallmark of all KRK monitor systems.
An efficient and low distortion 225-watt amplifier makes the
KRK12s perfect for project and professional studio applications that
require increased signal pressure. The front-firing bass port and
KRK’s light weight and high strength Kevlar woofer ensure a
dynamic low-end punch. The KRK 12s has extensive bass

capability, Internal and defeatable Limiter, and both balanced and
unbalanced inputs. In addition the subwoofer has an internal
crossover which can be switched in and out of the path when
muting the sub which allows full range material to be compared
with and without subsonic content. A sturdy grill protects the driver
cone and adds to the sleek appearance of the unit.
While subsonic frequencies are heavily implemented in some
musical genres, all studios benefit from the use of a sub to monitor
this low frequency content. With the prevalent use of home theater
systems, as well as commercial systems in clubs and cinemas –
production studios require the capability to identify and correct
problems such as unwanted low frequency components, exterior
noise, microphone rumble and vibrations. The increase of home
and project mastering means many potentially great pieces of
music are being poorly represented when played back on a larger
system. When dealing with subsonic frequencies if they cannot be
heard accurately they cannot be mixed accurately.
