Design Goals
KRK’s design goal for your V6 was to create a monitor capable of accurately reproducing sound with unsurpassed
clarity and accuracy. Other monitors in the marketplace tend to modify, extend, or “tilt” their response above 1
kHz to sound more “spatial, exciting and impressive”. What is often overlooked is this practice tends to make
you incorrectly balance your mixes to compensate for this effect, leading to poor “translation”.
Your V6 was designed to reproduce the signal with a minimal of frequency enhancement. Rather than attempting
to defy physics, your V6 delivers unaltered high frequencies and respectable low frequency response with
exceptional accuracy from a 6” woofer in a reasonably small cabinet.
System Highlights
Ability to Translate -
An often-repeated phrase that we hear at KRK about our monitors’ performance is their
ability to translate. A mix made on your V6’s will translate to other environments and other monitors with no
surprises saving you extra time and eliminating superfluous work. They will perform flawlessly for years in the
professional and non-professional environment alike.
Flexibility
- Your V6 monitor contains an active input circuit specifically designed for balanced or unbalanced
input signals. The audio input connector accepts XLR and ¼” phone or TRS connectors.
Active Filter Crossovers -
Each monitor cabinet contains three active filters. (Subsonic, low-pass and high-
pass filter) These three filters work together to deliver superior linear frequency response. Active filter
crossovers generate less heat resulting in no signal drift or component variations to provide a more stable image.
Balanced Power –
KRK’s amplifier construction is proven, durable and straightforward. Output wattage is
balanced to optimize LF and HF driver performance. Your V6 monitor uses a toroidal power transformer for the
lowest possible hum and minimum noise artifacts.
No Compression -
Your V6 contains no signal compression, which artificially limits the dynamic range of the
program source and is found in some competing products. Although signal compression is often used to make
monitors sound louder, fuller, and to control unwanted characteristics of the raw drivers, the result is a
compromised mix. Your V6 design is uncomplicated without extras between you and your mix.
Furniture-Grade Construction
- The cabinetry of your V6 is constructed from ¾” medium density fiberboard
(MDF). The cabinet has been specifically designed to minimize unwanted cabinet resonance. All cabinet edges and
port openings are heavily radiused to reduce edge diffractions and port flutter. Cabinet finish is a neutral
fingerprint proof gray Zolatone

Custom Made Drivers -
KRK is renowned for using the highest performance drivers available for our products.
Your V6 carries on this tradition. A specially designed polyvinyl LF driver was carefully selected and specifically for
this cabinet volume with one goal in mind, “minimal compromises, no surprises”. A proprietary silk dome tweeter
was created to deliver smooth, natural highs at high sound pressure levels. Both of these components caused
Bobby Owsinski from EQ magazine to remark, “The V6 has a big monitor sound in the package of a small monitor.
It literally has the biggest bottom I’ve ever heard in a monitor of this size”
