KRK Full-line Speaker Monitor - Manual (Page 3)

Using professional monitors in an acoustically correct studio is ideal for recording, mixing and mastering - but there are times when portability, sound isolation and
freedom from your environment’s acoustic limitations are the priority. At KRK, our passion is monitoring, whether the monitor is on the console or on your head.
Being able to discern the most subtle differences in pitch, timbre and tone helps you to get it right every mix, every take, every performance. KRK Headphones
provide a precise listening experience that takes you from personal studio to commercial studio to on-the-go track evaluations and they allow you to evaluate and
enjoy your music with the consistent voicing philosophy and honest reproduction top producers, studio musicians, performers and engineers have come to trust.
Whether you are listening to some tracks, or tracking your next recording, the KNS series gives you the famous KRK sound in a closed-back around-the-ear design
with highly isolated surround pads. Having “One Voice” that consistently gives you accurate reproduction of your music or mix will help you achieve just what the
artist intended -- especially when the artist is you.

The KRK Exposé E8B is the flagship of KRK’s product line. Dollar for dollar, mix for mix Exposé E8B blends technology and form to achieve a level of clarity and sonic
accuracy that is unprecedented. This mid-field monitor utilizes two discrete high-power Class A/AB power amplifiers — one each for the tweeter and woofer —
with symmetrical heat sinks built into the sides of the cabinet for cool, reliable operation. These two amplifiers are perfectly mated to the exceptional transducer
complement. The high frequencies are reproduced using a revolutionary tweeter made of beryllium and aluminum (AlBeMet). This advanced composite material
delivers smooth and incredibly detailed highs, thanks to the strength and ultra-low mass of this amazing tweeter. This high-frequency performance is teamed with
a signature KRK yellow multilayered Kevlar/Rohacell woofer. The Kevlar/Rohacell “sandwich” provides strength and stiffness without excess mass, resulting in bass
and transients that are tight, punchy, and true to life and your mix. These components are housed in a stunning, highly functional enclosure that features thick,
non-parallel, internal walls that help eliminate standing waves, a non-slip, sound absorbing rubberized base, and magnetic shielding for use in close proximity
to video monitors. The Exposé E8B is the pinnacle of studio monitor performance and reinforces KRK’s reputation as a manufacturer of premium studio reference
monitors.

“With KRK Expose I was looking for a pair of speakers that were
consistent, and were easy to carry with me, that had enough
power to allow me to turn them up and be able to fill the control
room with music, but also a speaker that I could turn down and
get musical balances, and know that what I was hearing in the
studio I was also taking home. And it was a speaker I just bonded
with right away.”

The first thing I noticed was the comfort...just great. Then I was extremely impressed with the sound quality...clear and
natural. What struck me was how they didn’t sound as much like headphones, but more like KRK studio monitors. The more
I use KRK, from the headphones to my V8s to my E8s...what I have come to expect and enjoy is the extremely accurate and
consistent reproduction of sound. Just fantastic!”

EXPOSÉ TECH NOTE:
The E8B’s massive woofer construction is that of a
multi-layered sandwich, consisting of two layers
of Kevlar with a layer of Rohacell in between. The
woofer’s construction reduces distortion for greater
signal reproduction accuracy.
