NAMM 2021: KRK upgrade subwoofers

Fourth-gen models boast extended LF

Always looking to improve their monitors, in 2019 KRK upgraded their Rokit range of nearfield monitors to fourth-gen status. Today theyve introduced a matching range of subwoofers, available in three different sizes. The S8.4, S10.4 and S12.4 sport 8-, 10- and 12-inch woofers, respectively, and are all powered by Class-D amps.

For this new generation of subs, KRK have ditched the standard cube format and gone for a wider (or taller, depending on their orientation) cabinet, which they say increases placement flexibility and extends their LF bandwidth. The front-facing port slots have also apparently been refined, to improved phase linearity and reduce turbulence.

Four crossover frequency options (at 50, 60, 70 and 80 Hz) should make the new S-series easy to integrate into any nearfield setup, as should the polarity invert switch, while a footswitch jack, which disengages the sub and bypasses the crossover, will allow you to instantly compare standard stereo and 2.1-speaker playback.
