Both drivers are magnetically shielded to make the v8s suitable for use in audio-visual or computer monitor environmentslook 'em up the v8s follow krk's visually distinctive style -- matt-grey cabinets, rounded corners and yellow, woven kevlar drivers krk v8 active monitors paul white cranks up his laser gramophone and takes the new krk v8s for a spinthe included information doesn't include a maximum spl figure, but i had no problem in getting the v8s to go a lot louder than i would normally want to listensummary though this section of the market is also addressed by the likes of mackie, event, harbeth, dynaudio, spirit and quested, the v8s stand up very well and represent extremely good valueas it's important to have a reference when checking monitors, i evaluated the v8s against my passive atc scm20s which are pretty neutral (though having said that, it is difficult comparing active monitors with passive ones)but considering their price, these are exceptionally good monitors that are a joy to usethe overall frequency response is quoted as 47hz to 23khz, +/-2dbeach encloses 20 litres and measures a compact 11x16x12 inchesaudio connection is via a neutrik balanced combo connector that can accept either an xlr or a balanced/unbalanced jackthe bass roll-off can be set to 45hz, 50hz or 65hz; the hf can be set to +/-1db, as well as flaten perfecto estado estetico y funcionalin a typical small-to-medium project studio, you probably wouldn't want to use the deepest bass setting anyway, as it would almost certainly provoke room resonancesthe krk v8 is a two-way, active nearfield monitor in a conventional ported cabinet with the electronic crossovers and power amps built into the backbuilt from heavy mdf, the v8 cabinets have a slot-shaped port at the bottom of the bafflewell engineered with electronic protection and response tailoring controlstheir imaging is good, the sound is detailed without being abrasive, and, in the case of the v8s, the bass extension is so good that even those mixing dance music would probably find no need to switch to larger monitorsthis is precisely where their new, aggressively priced v8 monitors are aimedthe overall tonality is quite close to neutral, erring only marginally on the lively sideto really nit-pick, the mid-range also seemed just slightly thickened or 'chesty'the sub-bass filtering prevents excessive driver excursions at very low frequencies: here a 12db/octave filter is used that's 3db down at 31hzcons slight mid-range coloration, but not significant enough to cause problemsthere are many design benefits from 'going active', not least the ability to optimise the crossover design to compensate for bumps and dips in the frequency and phase responsei guess tha "i've always had a lot of respect for krk designsas soon as i switched on, it was clear the krks had a much 'bigger' bass end than the atcs, but while some active monitors seem to generate bass for its own sake, here it was very much under control -- well-extended, but not obviously exaggerated" t if you opt for one of the higher bass roll-off settings, the overall headroom will increase furtherattractively priceda la venta par de monitores activos de estudio krk v8pros & cons krk v8 active monitors £999 pros clean, detailed sound with very good bass extensionthe tweeter is driven by a 70w amplifier and the bass/mid by a 130w amplifierany deviations from absolute neutrality are so small that you would soon learn to work with themsonically, the bass end generally sounds more solid from a well-designed active systemfortunately, you don't need to throw that much money at the v8s, so if you're in the market for an active monitor in this price range, make sure you get to hear themkrk have been in the studio monitor market for a number of years, but it's only recently that they've made a serious effort to address the mid/low-price segmentan eight-inch bass/mid driver with a roll rubber surround crosses over to a soft-domed, one-inch tweeter at 1active speaker protection is included for both drivers with a reset button on the back of the cabinetin any case, there's no such thing as a perfect monitor, no matter how much money you have to throw at thempark 'em up i've always had a lot of respect for krk designs because they provide a very workable solution to monitoringit's also usual to build in speaker protection and sub-bass filtering -- both of which are included heremagnetically screeneda gain trim is provided to adjust the input sensitivity to suit the output from a mixer or other signal sourceto help compensate for room acoustics, there are two three-way toggle switches to modify the frequency response of the systemtheir imaging is good, the sound is detailed without being abrasive, and, in the case of the v8s, the bass extension is so good that even those mixing dance music would probably find no need to switch to larger monitors66khz -- a somewhat lower frequency than on most systems of this sizepower the monitors up (a switch on/off delay prevents thumping) and a small yellow arrowhead lights up on the v8 logorev 'em up of course, what really counts is a speaker's performanceeven with the 65hz roll-off setting, the bass is still deep, full and very physical
