Overview
The KRK Classic 5 Generation 3 powered studio monitors incorporates over 30 years of innovation. It defaults to a flat frequency solution towards more critical listening - translating into more accurate mixes. With the optional ability to engage the 2 dB KRK Bass Boost. the CLASSIC 5 can also provide the enhanced bass response and sound that music creators around the world have loved for years.
The KRK Classic 5 is an active (self-powered) two-way studio monitor that utilizes a 1' textile soft dome tweeter paired with a 5' glass aramid woofer. The built-in power amplifiers provide a total of 50 watts of power. with a 30 watt amp driving the woofer. and a 20 watt amp for the tweeter.
