KRK Kreate 8 Studio Monitor – professional 2-way monitor with power and precision

The KRK Kreate 8 delivers the signature KRK balance of power, clarity and detail for producers, engineers and creators who demand reliable reference monitoring in larger rooms. As the flagship of the Kreate Series, it combines advanced bi-amp technology, flexible acoustic tuning and KRK’s renowned glass-fiber design to provide a neutral yet musical response with deep low-end control and accurate high-frequency detail.

Overview and Features

Kreate 8 is a bi-amplified 2-way monitor with a dedicated Class D amplifier for the low frequencies and a Class A/B amplifier for the highs. The 8-inch woven glass-fiber woofer with a ferrite magnet delivers tight, extended bass, while the 1-inch textile-dome tweeter with a neodymium motor reproduces airy and precise highs up to 40 kHz. With 100 W RMS output and 210 W dynamic peak power, it offers impressive headroom and definition even at high listening levels.

Acoustic Tuning and Connectivity

Integrated boundary and EQ controls let you tailor the response to your studio environment. Connectivity includes balanced XLR/¼″ TRS combo, unbalanced RCA, and Bluetooth® Classic 5.3 TWS (A2DP) for wireless playback. The cabinet is constructed from PVC-wrapped MDF with a reinforced HIPS front baffle for rigidity and low resonance.
