KRK Full-line Speaker Monitor - Manual (Page 7)

A great mix starts with a great recording room. But when it comes to achieving the most accurate mix, your room may have the upper hand. Like any room, your
studio’s acoustics include offending frequencies and room reflections, and none of these are helping your mix. Getting a handle on these problems has traditionally
meant the installation of soft foam or fabrics, and that’s a great start. But now you can get even closer to a perfect room, and a perfect mix, because the future
of studio sound is here, and it’s called ERGO.
HEAR THE DIFFERENCE
KRK, long known for highly accurate studio monitors brings you ERGO (Enhanced Room Geometry Optimization). ERGO is an audio recording interface / room
correction system designed to measure and analyze phase/frequency problems within a listening environment. The powerful digital signal processor in the ERGO
unit processes audio to correct for the offending issues. So, you can stop worrying about your studio’s acoustics and start focusing on your mix! ERGO’s high-end
sound quality makes it perfect for the discriminating audio professional, while the affordable price puts it within reach of the typical recording hobbyist. Every
studio needs an ERGO, because even the most accurate monitor in an imperfect room isn’t going to solve mixing problems, but ERGO will. ERGO also makes your
mix translate from the studio to different environments.
THE BEST APPROACH
While many conventional room correction systems utilize simple analysis and limited bands of EQ (often fewer than 8), ERGO uses multiple measurements and
proprietary algorithms to create a 3D image of the room, and then applies 1024 dynamic filters to control the audio environment. Our 3D model allows users
to preserve the “good” characteristics of the room, while correcting the bad... ERGO doesn’t color the sound or produce an artificially sterile environment. ERGO
produces the best mix for a given room; a mix that will translate better to other listening environments, since it was mixed in a “perfect” room.
ERGO
“Adding the ERGO to our setup has just further improved our experience with KRK by balancing our brand new studio without
having to discover and correct our rooms flaws through trial and error. It also helps to untie us from the studio by enabling
us to partially control any makeshift recording space we may end up in. I have a feeling that will be very useful with the
amount of time we spend on the road.”

The sophisticated room analysis and correction system within ERGO, called “RoomPerfect” was developed by
Lyngdorf Audio in Denmark after many years of R&D work. The patented algorithm in the system compares
many measurements and corrects for phase and frequency problems using thousands of filters, not just a few.
The result is the most accurate mix. ERGO, analyze this!
