KRK CLASSIC 5

Professional Studio Monitor

Building on KRK's legacy of sonic accuracy and performance, the new KRK CLASSIC 5 powered studio monitors incorporate over 30 years of innovation from the world's leading studio monitor manufacturer. Borrowing concepts from previous ROKIT lines-some of the most used studio monitors in the world, the CLASSIC 5 defaults to a new flat frequency solution towards more critical listening-translating into more accurate mixes. With the optional ability to engage the +2 dB KRK Bass Boost, the CLASSIC 5 can also provide the enhanced bass response and sound that music creators around the world have loved for years.

The CLASSIC 5 is an active (self-powered) two-way studio monitor that utilizes a 1" textile soft dome tweeter paired with a 5" glass aramid woofer. The built-in power amplifiers provide a total of 50 watts of power, with a 30 watt amp driving the woofer, and a 20 watt amp for the tweeter.

The largest Monitor of the ROKIT Family, the KRK CLASSIC 5 will deliver every detail of performance thru its ample headroom and tight bass tuning.
