All user reviews for the KRK Ergo

I Ergo 3 months.
Tried anything else in Paravant.

The large volume knob is very pleasant to use, although a bit light.
it's still plastic. I would have preferred something that makes heavier hand qqchose metal for example.
I appreciate the headphone output and the ability to connect multiple pairs of speaker system.

I found the acoustic corrections rather small, almost imperceptible to my room.
My home studio is a single room of 15 m² untreated, but it is not a cathedral, a shed, or even a cellar. There's still the BA13 on the walls and carpeted floors.

I find it very unfortunate and almost unfortunate that KRK has no curves measured room response.

The Ergo is nevertheless comes with a measuring microphone, the software takes measurements, calculates and corrects the speakers, but I do not even know the defects of my room.
No action is presented via the computer interface.

I do not think it's very honest, because as I say, for my part, after correction changes are not obvious.
KRK lack of transparency in this regard in its concept.
Nothing proves to me that the corrections are reliable.

The software could provide me the answer of my room before correction, with a graph that would show me the response peaks and introduce myself after curve correction.

In addition, I would also like to treat my room accordingly. But I did not response curves. I'll have to use a specific software.

It makes a huge difference in perceived sound. The price is relatively high, but if you want converters that have the look of it is to be expected. The sound is definitely better balanced corrected and more accurate stereo. I had great difficulty in mastering in my studio before, it is set. Coupled with KRK RP10-3, I mean everything! What is nice is that it can serve as both an audio interface or filter after the existing one. The quality is much better when used as an audio interface (a single conversion DA) Only problem, its connection is firewire ... as I drive with Windows, firewire is unstable. On my laptop, I can run both WiFi and Ergo ... misery! 90% of the time, so I use it in another configuration.

Purchase two days ago, I downloaded the latest driver.
The installation took me 4 minutes by my watch!
The manual is in English ...
One branch of the system on its monitors (KRK VXT6) on channel A, connect the power cord is Firewire, No one lights NOW ITS ENCLOSURES, you plug the power supply delivered and hop miracle, a wonder the system calibration .
Here you can turn your speakers. If the lights before, when the power of ERGO, a huge bed comes from the speakers we shatter eardrums and I can not imagine is that the membranes of HP are ...
It took me 5 minutes to understand the pattern, I got taken twice for successful calibration. It takes 15 minutes by calibration.
In short, installation + calibration seemed to me so easy.

So the most interesting, for which I bought the system is the dynamic correction of the output signal of the speakers according to the acoustics of my room. My studio is in a cubic room of 12m ² merely a sofa and a cupboard ...
And there I was pleasantly surprised! I replay a dozen different mix to fully understand me and what happened there ... Well ... any defects that I found on other plays have focused on my speakers! That is, my room was sorely lacking in serious ... Since the medium is adjusted down, listening is thus:
- More balanced
- More Detailed
- The spatialization is much better.

From a usability point of view, is fairly basic: a large button (precise) for the speaker volume, a wheel on the right side for the headphone volume ...

Focus button / Global can see the influences of patch, it is, it allows you to compare before and after calibration.

So I put a small problem with this system ... I tried the stand alone mode with SPDIF and I have a very slight buzz on my speakers when in FireWire I do not! It is present at very low volume but it bothers me, I can not stand this ... It is not present in the headphone. So I guess it comes from the stabilized power supply provided with the ERGO, I'll do a test by replacing a power supply not better.

I have not tried other model before buying it ... I have read the opinions of the purchase.

The pros:
Patches really useful (even essential) for a home studio
The sound quality and robustness of the system
The hergonomie

The -:
Instruction in English only
Buzz Light in SPDIF (but I think it comes from my system ...)
Some incompatibilities between FireWire devices on Windows 7, you must properly configure default devices - but nothing blocking

The ratio Q / P is very good especially in occasion! € 350 for, no matter where you mix his tracks, a sound similar.
It cost considerably less expensive than acoustic panels 10aine ugly and bulky.

With experience, I would do probably this choice but it is difficult to say after 12 hours of use ...
This is obviously a very good product.

I use it for 1 year.

This is the first model that I use monitoring controller.

Ability to manage two sets of speakers or a pair + sub with choice of cutoff frequencies, analog input, digital S / P-DIF or via firewire in sound card. Volume knob, 3 LED status.
Headphone output with separate volume knob.

Two buttons to activate the speakers, a treatment to activate the selection focus, global or untreated.

Installation is easy and requires a computer, the calibration is easily one is well guided.

The software correction of the play is a strong point, the analog input and faithful little Ignition clicks on and off are its weaknesses. We also noted some of the numerical control volume if you turn too fast effect is felt by bearings. In the weak point can be also noted that stability in firewire can be average. When will the fix?

I use it only in S / P-DIF and the quality of the converter is honest, the treatment allowed me to delete a flutter in a blatant piece or I've used. Overall listening is really optimized, the volume knob is very accurate is more significant.
e know of no other device using this technology, calibration with a minimum of 3 different takes, really remarkable.

I would do this choice without hesitation.
