Am Updated Standard in Low Frequency Monitoring

For years, KRK subwoofers have been the choice for accurate low frequency monitoring in studios large and small. Now, the K10s provides a standard for even better performance and accuracy, raising the bar once again. Whether you are mixing in a 2.1 or 5.1 surround environment or just looking to upgrade the low-frequency extension read more of your existing monitors, the K10s will provide the low frequency detail and accuracy that will help you to create a better mix.

Let's Be Up Front
Take a look at competitive subwoofer monitors and you'll find ports on the back of the cabinet. These rear-firing ports tend to create bass coupling with walls and corners over-amplifying low frequency information which in turn colors your mix. The superior design of the KRK10s includes front-firing ports which are just the right shape to reduce port turbulence. You'll appreciate the clean and accurate bass performance this approach delivers, even at high SPLs.

Feel the Bass

You need to feel the bass and the proprietary signature yellow woofer delivers tight, clear low end response. Engineers and a listening panel took the K10s speaker voicing to even more accurate levels. Featuring a sweepable 50 Hz - 130 Hz low pass filter, your K10s provides flexible control for any monitoring system. What you hear is what you are intended to hear, coloration is not part of the spec. This performance is brought to you by drivers that are custom-designed by a world-class studio monitor engineering team, for a clear, low-distortion performance.

Take Control

Professional engineers like the ability to hear how the sub is affecting the mix. Your KRK subwoofer is equipped with a bypass feature which allows you to defeat the sub and provide full range audio to your recording monitors. To use the bypass function, you will need to use a standard latching 1/4 mono footswitch.

"A Sub easily worth 3-4x its price!"

Overall, I dont regret this purchase. It's really added the right ammount of bass to my rokik RP5 G2's, and has already paid for itself.

Sound
This sub produces a nice, tight bass sound which can be reliably used for all stages of mixing. I don't know if I would trust it for a final master if it was gunna be released on a major record label, but its still a great sound for the home/project studio.

Features
It has volume, a crossover that doesn't suck (as it might on other subs in this price range), and a bypass port for a foot switch. I really like the option to bypass, but I have noticed a sound difference between using my rokit RP5 G2's without the sub plugged in, and having them plugged into the sub and using the bypass. It almost sounds like the bypass switch just activates a high pass filter in the sub, not actually bypassing the unit... Despite the bypass switch issue, I really appreciate all of the IO options KRK provided my with on this sub. I prefer using all balanced connections whenever possible, so I was a real fan of the XLR (which I use exclusivly) and TRS inputs/outputs. Sure there's RCA I/O, but why use 'em!?

Ease of Use
Its a sub with fairly basic controls. Just literally plug in and play.

Quality
The build quality is pretty good. I ordered a B stock, and 6 months later its still working great. Part of the grill doesn't push read more all the way in, and the packaging was pretty worn. I bring my whole audio setup to and from my college (500 miles away from my home) every few months, so I do actually use the boxes (which is the safest way to transport studio monitors/subs). Overall, I was expecting the worn packaging so its all good.

Value
For the money, this sub is a great value. It could easily compete with subs $1000's more expensive.

Manufacturer Support
Never needed 'em, but if their support is as good as their products, it should be fine.

The Wow Factor
Its big, black, has curves, and makes a hell of a noise. Isn't that every guy's dream!?
