The 150-Watt NEKKST K5 Studio
Monitor’s unparalleled, world-class
performance is the result of a major
collaboration between BEHRINGER
audio engineers and loudspeaker
master-designer/founder of KRK –
Keith R. Klawitter. This incredible
reference system is ideal for all critical
listening environments thanks to the
custom-engineered bi-ampli cation
system that features separate
ampli ers for the 5" glass- ber woofer and 1"silk-dome tweeter. K5’slong-
throw woofer generates deep, tight bass and virtually smear-proof mids,
while the ultra-high resolution tweeter provides sparkling highs – all
enhanced by Keith’s Advanced Waveguide Technology for an extremely
generous sweet spot.
Why Studio Monitors are
soImportant
The goal of a great studio monitor is to present
an accurate representation of your mix, so
you can tell how well it will translate to the
diverse listening environments and systems
of today, such as car stereos, club sound
systems, radio, portable digital music players
and others. The remarkably- at response of
the NEKKST K5 allows you to work with the
complete con dence that your mixes will
“play” accurately on these systems and to your
audience at large.

Keith R. Klawitter - the Man Who Invented Studio Monitors
The ultra-linear, 150-Watt reference-class NEKKST K5 was designed by renowned acoustic icon and
founder of KRK, Keith R. Klawitter – a man who has devoted much of his life to the quest for the
“perfect” loudspeaker. The K5 features Keith’s advanced Waveguide technology for the ultimate
in acoustic dispersion, which generates an extremely large “sweet zone” for easy and optimal
monitoring. A true bi-amped system, an ingenious crossover design and separate ampli ers are
utilized for high and low-frequency signals, providing superb sound reproduction from the longthrow, deformation-resistant, glass- ber cone woofer and pristinely-accurate, silk-dome tweeter.
The NEKKST K5 not only satis es seasoned engineers and producers, butmakes audiophile-level
sound accessible to both home and professional recording studio applications. Keith Klawitter wrote
the book when it comes to modern studio monitors, and to quote the monitor-master, “Thisis my
best work yet!”
Bi-Ampli cation - The Path to Absolute SignalIntegrity
With its 150 ultra-clean Watts of output, delivered through separately-powered drivers via a true
bi-amping mode with 2 ampli ers per speaker, the K5 delivers high-resolution sound that really
brings out the best in your music. You will notice that most competitors apply simple passive
crossovers, which not only inaccurately separate the frequency spectrum, but most importantly
impact the drivers’ performance. BEHRINGER has gone the extra mile, driving each woofer and
tweeter with a separate ampli er for absolute signal integrity.
Environmentally Friendly
The ability for a studio monitor to adapt to a wide range of acoustic conditions is of paramount
importance, and the NEKKST K5 delivers extreme versatility in this arena. K5’s rear panel features
switches for adjusting high and low-frequency response, compensating for varying room attributes,
or for pairing with a dedicated subwoofer. Independently-controlled limiters protect both the
woofer and tweeter against overload.
