Catalog KRK 2024

KRK Systems, Inc. is a company specializing in the production of studio monitors and professional audio equipment. It was founded in 1986 by recording engineer Keith R. Klawitter, whose initials were used in the name of the new brand. According to the official story, Keith was dissatisfied with the quality of the studio monitors available at the time and decided to create his own. The first KRK monitors featured innovative design and the use of advanced technologies, which allowed them to stand out among competitors and gain recognition from professionals.

In the following years, the company continued to grow, experimenting with new technologies and expanding its product range. The Rokit, V Series, and Classic monitor lines appeared, each aimed at different market segments, from amateurs to professionals. KRK also began producing subwoofers, which complement studio monitors by providing fuller and deeper low-frequency reproduction. Additionally, the company started manufacturing studio headphones, which are actively used in professional monitoring and audio mixing.

The signature feature of KRK's audio systems is the yellow diffusers, which stand out against the black cabinets and help users instantly recognize the company's products. The primary focus is on sound neutrality, which is crucial for professional-level audio work. At the same time, the company continues to actively implement new technologies, remaining one of the leaders in the field of professional audio equipment.

Since 2011, KRK has been owned by the American guitar manufacturer Gibson, which also owns well-known brands such as Maestro, Steinberger, Lifton, and several others.
