Published on 05/31/12 at 00:12These Active monitors are pretty small and actually came with a piece of gear that I purchased a while back. I think with my audio interface and mic. It was some sort of a package that I had purchased on musicians friend. They are perfect for smaller home based studios though they arent the best monitors by KRK but they are very affordable and can still give you a great mix.
SOUNDS
The sound quality of them are pretty solid, they are above average to me. You will get a loud sound and a good mix in such little monitors it will blow your mind. As with most KRK monitors I expected the low end to be a little stronger but these are just so small I don’t think the cabinets can really produce a better boom. These monitors arent for you if you want to mix heaver low end sounds in them. They just cant handle it nor are they made for that. But everything else, mid’s and hi’s are pretty crips and come out pretty clean in any home environment. You can get a decent mix in this monitors but they are great to use if you are just creating music maybe even on the go because they are so small you can pack them up and take them with you if you need too.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, most KRK monitors are really loud and have a lot of bass. But these are different then those because these are some of the smaller ones that I have seen from KRK. The KRK V4’s maybe some of the cheaper ones especially since it came in a package deal that I got a while ago. You don’t see higher end monitors going in packages that are cheap these days. If these are all you need size wise then go for it, but if you want something with more accurate sound to do a detailed mix in look into some of the higher end KRK monitors, they will cost more but they will give you a better sound in the long run.
