The KRK S8.4 is a powerful and accurate subwoofer that perfectly compliments your studio monitors for an enhanced listening experience. The S8.4 builds on the legacy of KRKs sonic performance delivering tight accurate and extended bass response. The S8.4 is the ideal companion to accurately monitor your low end when mixing and mastering a host of different musical genres. A highly efficient class-D power amp dramatically increases transient response control and punch while working in unison with a 8-inch woofer and 1.5-inch voice coil to give the engineer artist and producer an extended frequency range from 29Hz – 205Hz with a maximum SPL rating of a tremendous 113dB. The KRK S8.4 pushes the envelope further by improving previous models by focusing on low-frequency extension down to 29Hz improving porting for a hugely improved low-frequency phase response and eliminating port noise and vibration redesigned baffles for a lower height profile and less depth allowing for easier placement and flexibility and more. Universally compatible with almost any audio source the KRK S8.4 has a wealth of connectivity options. No more will you need any adapters or specialised cabling the onboard RCA TRS and XLR inputs and outputs allow you to quickly and easily integrate the S8.4 into your existing monitoring setup. Generous frequency range The integrated power amplifier delivers 109w RMS performance yielding a sound pressure level of 113dB peak. Bass frequencies are less audible than mid-range frequencies which makes it more difficult to monitor properly the S8.4 packs enough power to ensure that you can comfortably monitor the bass and sub frequencies without damaging your equipment or ears. A generous frequency range of 29 to 205Hz will give you enough depth to accurately mix a myriad of musical genres that use frequencies that reach this low. Variable crossover The S8.4 features a 4-position crossover to adjust the subwoofers roll-off to perfectly match it with your studio monitors or hi-fi speakers. By fine-tuning your cross-over you will ensure that your sound is cohesive and seamless between the full frequency range. The inclusion of a 4-position crossover is perfect for matching between any size of nearfield monitor for smaller monitors with a more drastic bass roll-off you can use the higher settings to ensure that the low end is represented accurately. For larger monitors you can use the lower settings to meld the low end between your monitors and subwoofer. Ultra-accurate bass extension The KRK S8.4 allows you to hear and feel low end accurately in any studio environment. Your low-end frequencies are vital when mixing and mastering your songs they are the driving energy and force that give your music movement and life. Making sure that this is well rounded and balanced to translate on any playback system such as a car stereo club or bar venue PA system etc is essential. Too much low end and you will muddy your sound taking away any focal points from other instruments that occupy higher frequency ranges such as keyboard melodies or vocal performances. Not enough bass and you will find yourself with an anaemic sound that wont translate well to large venue speakers. Take the guesswork out of your mixing and mastering by using the S8.4 to ensure that you get the balance right and get your songs heard everywhere you go. Designed for performance An 8-inch glass aramid composite woofer and 1.5-inch voice coil sit inside an 15mm reinforced MDF baffle with a front-mounted vent. When in combination the S8.4 provides you with a robust subwoofer that combines durability with performance. The front vented mount allows for flexible placement of the S8.4 by ensuring that you will not receive any direct reflections behind the subwoofer onto your wall which can result in unwanted standing waves. The front vent also gives you confidence in knowing that even if placed off-centre from your listening position the S8.4 will retain the character of the sound and performance as the low frequencies will still be projected forward to you. The mounted 8-inch glass woofer and 1.5-inch voice coil are purpose-designed to eliminate any diffraction distortion ensuring that you dont hear any unwanted signal degradation. Versatile connectivity and controls The S8.4 possesses all of the input connectivity that you will ever need to integrate this into your existing studio system. Featuring XLR RCA and TRS inputs you can connect into most home-audio hi-fi turntables and DJ turntables as well as most audio interfaces and professional mixers. The S8.4 gives you control over multiple parameters to ensure that you are getting the best performance and sound reproduction possible in your studio. The main volume dial is provided to get the balance perfect between your subwoofer and main monitors and a 4-position selectable crossover allows you to finely tune the balance between your subwoofer and your monitors low-end roll-off ensuring you get the maximum clarity between the frequencies taking the guesswork out of your mixing and mastering. Further controls such as a ground-lift eliminates any interference caused by ground loops that can distort and degrade your signal a stand-by off/on switch will send the S8.4 into power-saving mode when not in use over long sessions and a High-pass filter and sub bypass is accessed through the footswitch for quick and easy A/Bing if your sound.
