A Modestly Priced, Reference-level Nearfield

KRK worked with hundreds of engineers and producers to get the response right for its V4 Series 4 monitors. The key ingredients were a ported cast-aluminum/MDF enclosure and a complement of custom Kevlar drivers: a 4" woven woofer and 1" dome tweeter that are, together, flat from 58Hz to 19Khz (±3dB). This full, flat response makes KRK V4 Series 4s a serious budget option for mixing, mastering, and all demanding listening applications.

KRK V4 Series 4 monitors: not just a pretty face

Under the hood, KRK's dual Class D amplifiers deliver 85 watts to the drivers for an impressive 110dB SPL. Its 14 user-selectable EQ settings allow you to overcome shortcomings in your listening environment. Other features that impressed us here include a friction-lock Neutrik connector for XLR or TRS cables, a universal threaded mounting bracket, a precise 7-way attenuation switch for level matching, and an EVA foam pad for acoustic isolation.
