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.
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 separatelypowered 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.

Audiophile Bi-Amped 5" Studio Monitor

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. Independentlycontrolled limiters protect both the woofer and tweeter against overload.
Connectivity and Compatibility
Since a monitor’s output is only as good as its input, the NEKKST K5 includes a servo-balanced
front end and accepts XLR, TRS and unbalanced RCA connectors for extremely- exible
connectivity. Thehigh-density composite enclosure guarantees ultra-low di raction and reduced
low-frequencydistortion.
The audiophile-grade NEKKST K5 is the ideal tool for crafting mixes that translate perfectly across the
widest possible spectrum of audio playback devices. Thanks to Keith Klawitter’s custom-engineered
bi-amp system driving an Advanced Waveguide-mounted 5" glass- ber woofer and 1" silk-dome
tweeter, you get deep, tight bass with virtually smear-proof mids and sparkling highs – all in an
extremely generous sweet spot! With the K5’s comprehensive suite of options and features, this
audiophile-grade monitor delivers, no matter what your listening environment.
