KRK V8 Series Five Powered Studio Monitor

Professional 8-Inch Studio Monitor for Mixing, Mastering & Music Production

The KRK V8 Series Five Powered Studio Monitor is a professional-grade 8-inch active studio monitor designed for producers, recording engineers, mixing engineers, mastering engineers, and serious music creators who need accurate, detailed and adaptable monitoring.

Built on KRK’s long-standing reputation for professional studio monitoring, the V8 Series Five combines an 8-inch woven Kevlar® aramid fiber woofer, 1-inch silk dome tweeter, powerful bi-amplified Class D amplification, and advanced room-tuning technology to deliver precise monitoring across a wide frequency range.

With 455 watts of total power, a frequency response of 35.5 Hz–38.7 kHz (±3 dB) and maximum SPL of 121 dB, the V8 Series Five provides the headroom and resolution needed for demanding production, mixing and mastering environments.

Advanced Room Tuning & Monitor Control

Every studio and listening environment is different. The V8 Series Five gives you extensive control over the monitor's response, making it easier to optimise your speakers for your room.

The monitor includes 25 fixed boundary and tuning EQ settings for acoustic correction, plus 7 professional parametric EQs and delay controls for more advanced applications such as immersive audio installations, cinema environments and custom room correction.

The KRK Control App allows you to control individual monitors or groups of monitors, while Bluetooth® connectivity provides convenient wireless control of compatible V Series Five monitors.

High-Performance 8-Inch Kevlar® Woofer

The V8 Series Five features an 8-inch woven Kevlar® aramid fiber woofer engineered for controlled low-frequency reproduction, detail and reliable transient response.

A 1-inch silk dome tweeter with a large rear damping chamber delivers extended high-frequency detail, helping you hear subtle elements of your recordings, mixes and masters with greater clarity.

The result is a full-range monitoring system capable of revealing details across the frequency spectrum without sacrificing the low-end authority expected from an 8-inch studio monitor.

455 Watts of Bi-Amplified Class D Power

The V8 Series Five uses separate Class D amplifiers for the low- and high-frequency drivers:

• 280W LF amplifier
• 175W HF amplifier
• 455W total system power
• 121 dB maximum SPL

This bi-amplified design provides substantial headroom for critical listening, mixing and professional monitoring applications.

Flexible Professional Connectivity

The V8 Series Five includes a balanced XLR / 1/4-inch TRS combo input, with the input switchable between analogue and AES-3 digital operation.

With a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 100 dB and professional balanced connectivity, the V8 Series Five is designed to integrate into modern recording studios, project studios, post-production facilities and professional control rooms.
