The 150-Watt NEKKST K5 Studio
Monitor’s unparalleled, world-class
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’slong-
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 soImportant
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.

NEKKST K5
Audiophile Bi-Amped 5" Studio Monitor with Advanced Waveguide Technology
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, butmakes 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, “Thisis my best work yet!”
Bi-Ampli cation - The Path to Absolute SignalIntegrity
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.
