Design Philosophy

A studio monitor is a tool used to aurally “measure” the changes in an audio path. Ask any

seasoned recording professional what they think makes a great studio monitor and you’ll

get basically the same answers: “Accuracy, transparency, flat response, and the truth.”

Simply put, recording engineers want the electrical signal entering their monitor to be

reproduced mechanically by the transducers and they want this to occur without any

deviation or compromise to the original signal. Professionals depend upon their monitors to

deliver their artistic vision in a way that will translate as accurately as possible to a

variety of audio mediums. Technically, this is accomplished by designing a monitor that

addresses three critically important criteria: Spectral Balance, Distortion Management, and

Resonance Management.

1. Spectral Balance (Timbre)

Research confirms that proper spectral balance is important for a studio monitor.

Spectral balance is defined by:

• Smooth on-axis response

• Smooth octave to octave response

• Smooth off-axis response

From years of listening to feedback from some of the top engineers and producers, KRK

engineers have come to understand how a properly tuned monitor can become a valuable

recording tool.

The VXT monitors have been designed to be as flat as possible so that what you hear

represents the true nature of the audio material without coloration or enhancement. You

can be confident in the fact that your mixes will be accurate and phase coherent.

2. Distortion Management

Any loss or addition to the audio signal is a distortion and this can occur in the speakers

themselves. The VXT series has very low speaker distortion which, of course translates into

improved reproduction accuracy.

Various amplifier distortions have been eliminated as well; the most common being

intermodulation, transient intermodulation, and harmonic distortion.

Distortion can also occur when the waveform is impacted by physical conditions such as

port turbulence and diffraction. KRK engineers have implemented design concepts that

eliminate or minimize these damaging conditions.

3. Resonance Management

Resonance is the tendency of something to vibrate at a particular frequency after the

source of energy is removed.

Resonances also play a major role in impacting the performance of a speaker. KRK design

elements minimize driver and enclosure resonance.
