The 150-Watt NEKKST K8 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 8" glass- ber woofer and 1" silk-dome tweeter. K8’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 K8 allows you to work with the
complete con dence that your mixes will
“play” accurately on these systems and to your
audience at large.

Audiophile Bi-Amped 8" Studio Monitor with

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 K8 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.

Thoughtful Design

The ultra-linear, 150-Watt reference-class NEKKST K8 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 K8 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 K8 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!”

Environmentally Friendly

The ability for a studio monitor to adapt to a wide range of acoustic conditions is of paramount
importance, and the NEKKST K8 delivers extreme versatility in this arena. K8’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.
