KRK
Systems is proud to announce the release of the VXT Series studio
monitors at Musikmesse. The VXT Series monitors are the latest products
from a company known for creating world class studio monitors for a
variety of markets. The series was 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 and raises the bar for recording
monitors used by professional engineers, musicians and DJs world wide.
.
The VXT Series includes new proprietary woofers and tweeters,
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 greatly 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". (Many monitors have discontinuous elements which
can increase diffraction.) The use of ABS structural foam as the
cabinet material provides excellent damping characteristics and
extended low end due to more internal volume. The ABS foam also absorbs
shocks really well 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, excellent imaging 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.
