KRK Systems
KRK Systems is a well-known professional audio brand founded in 1986 by Keith R. Klawitter, a film mix engineer who started building his own reference monitors in his garage.
Over the years, the company became known for studio monitors with strong clarity and accurate response — especially their iconic yellow-cone designs. KRK’s product lineup includes several popular series:
-
ROKIT — probably their most famous; affordable, powered near-field monitors.
-
Classic — more neutral/flat response, built on decades of KRK engineering.
-
Kreate — a modern, budget-friendly range. KRK Kreate 3 Studio Monitor
-
They also make subwoofers and headphones.
In 2024, KRK launched the ROKIT Generation Five monitors, which added new features like three voicing modes and an LCD screen for configuration.
KRK’s mission centers around a “design-first” mentality, meaning each product goes through careful design and testing to ensure trust and performance. Today, KRK operates under the Gibson Pro Audio umbrella.
