KRK introduce VXT Series studio monitors

VXT series studio monitors by KRKIntroduced at Musikmesse Frankfurt 2007, KRK's VXT series monitors were created using stringent design philosophies similar to KRK’s flagship close-field monitor, the Exposé E8B. The VXT Series has been designed to reproduce the true nature of the audio material. Including new proprietary woofers and tweeters, the speakers also feature a newly designed curved face plate for excellent imaging, a new cabinet design that provides low resonance, improved structural integrity and extended low-end and slotted ports that reduce port turbulence.
KRK engineers started with the extremely functional cabinet design of the flagship monitor, the Exposé E8B to create a very high performance yet attractive line of monitors. The curved cabinet and faceplate provide excellent imaging characteristics and a wider “sweet spot”. The use of ABS structural foam as the cabinet material provides very good damping characteristics and extended low end due to more internal volume. The ABS foam also absorbs shocks so the cabinet is extremely impact resistant.
With the VXT Series, KRK engineers set out to improve transient response in the system. The tweeter’s dome is comprised of true silk, as opposed to cloth, which translates to fast transient response and extended frequency response. The new woofer inside the VXT Series has improved transient response by using a stiffer, lighter cone that provides very low distortion and extended low-end.
“It was important for us to have the VXT Series mirror the same look and performance of our flagship monitor, the Exposé E8B” commented Mike Newman, KRK System’s product manager. “The same expertise and care that went into the design of the Exposé, went into the design of the VXT Series. The wider sweet spot, excellent imaging and extended frequency response will make the VXT Series the preferred choice for recording professionals and musicians worldwide.”
With such attention to detail taken in the creation of VXT Series’ key components, it should come as no surprise to learn that KRK has designed numerous “extras”. The VXT Series features tamper resistant switch covers to protect against others changing your personal settings, integrated Omni Mount support for easy wall or corner mounting, ground lift, defeatable limiter and auto mute controls, and high and low frequency adjust switches on the VXT6 and VXT8.
