Chestnut Studios (London) - Chris Young

Once Young made the upgrade to KRK monitors it made him reevaluate certain past projects. "I think one of the first things you do when you get new monitors is you definitely revisit other projects," says Young. "It was enlightening to get halfway through a project and then suddenly open up to a new set of monitors, which delivered more than I could hear before.”

Boyz II Men

The group recently worked with one of the biggest stars in pop music today and KRK was a part of it. "We just did a song with Justin Bieber," says Nathan Morris. "We did an a cappella version of the track. I was listening to the KRK monitors to really feel what the vocal was going to give me."

Richard Earnshaw

"While the sound I was generating in the past was very good, the clarity of my recently installed VXT6s makes me feel like I have been listening through a pair of earmuffs for the last 10 years," says Earnshaw."

Hot Chelle Rae

"Whether it's mixing a song for an artist I'm producing, or a TV performance of Hot Chelle Rae, having an accurate mix/reference is crucial. Having monitors as small as the KRK VXT4s, which deliver great sound WHILE being small enough to set up as studio reference monitors in a hotel room, green room or back lounge of the bus, leaves me wondering how I ever got along without them. Not too long ago, I had to pull up a mix and tweak something. I broke out the VXT4s, set them up, made the tweak and was able to email it back out within the hour."

Sean Tyas

Undeniably a genius behind the controls in a studio, Sean Tyas has also translated his technical talents and popular sounds into one of the most in demand DJ sets in trance today. "I use and implicitly trust the VXT8's by KRK, They are the PERFECT balance between razor sharp accurate monitoring, and keeping the workflow fun, because they perform and deliver monstrous sound.

Angie Rubin

"I end up working in all types of acoustical environments and the VXT8s always sound great. The speakers reproduce an accurate, full range sound that has plenty of punch coupled with crystal clear highs that produce a very up close and personal experience. The KRK VXT8s sound great every time I press the space bar to start a track and that sonic quality faithfully translates the work coming from the controlled studio environments. I love these speakers."

Ben Charles

"As a writer/producer bouncing between coasts, the VXT4s are the perfect addition to my mobile rig," continues Charles. "They're portable enough to grab on the way out the door to a writing session, without sacrificing sound quality. I travel all over, writing with artists and other writers, so I require a portable monitor solution. The KRK VXT4's are perfect for that need. With the KRKs, my synths cut, drums bang and as a piano player, I particularly appreciate the clarity. Love these speakers!"

Alex Teamer

A force to be reckoned with, producer/engineer/composer/musician Alex Teamer (ATEAM) grew up surrounded by music. By age 13, ATEAM was running sound, playing keyboards and recording demos for various groups around Orlando, FL. Taking his passion to the next level, he graduated with honors from A.R.T.I. (Audio Recording Technical Institute) and, after working with the independent production company Nue Sound Entertainment, opened Studio 7 in Los Angeles.

Neilson Hubbard

"The KRK VXT-6 speakers are a complete game-changer in my studio. They are sonically beautiful! The sound is so warm and pleasing, as well as having that great punch I love to hear in my mixes and playback."

Jacquire King

"The Rokit 5's are small and portable which allows me to take them wherever I need to go. Being self powered is also a key feature. Gone are the days of having to lug around an amplifier and good wire to know you're hearing the reference you're accustomed to."

Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins

"I feel as though KRK has captured the essence of what my sound is. I look for something that's tight, that's punchy, that still has the low end, but still has the pristine clarity up top."

Stuart Brawley

"I expect my near fields to be honest...don't make it sound so good that the real world is a let down. At the same time, I need them to have clarity, depth, and an accurate low end, especially given the less-than-perfect room in which I work."

Jim Roach

"I can no longer enter someone else's studio for a session without my KRK VXT8s. With anything else I feel like I have blinders on! I need to know that what is coming out of my monitoring environment is what is happening naturally on the other side of the glass. There's nothing worse than getting files back to my KRK's and realizing that the other monitors were lying. With KRK I can trust that the musicality that I am hearing is what people will eventually be hearing on their car stereos and iPods. I am a lifer."

Manchester Orchestra

"Adding the ERGO to our setup has just further improved our experience with KRK by balancing our brand new studio without having to discover and correct our rooms flaws through trial and error. It also helps to untie us from the studio by enabling us to partially control any makeshift recording space we may end up in. I have a feeling that will be very useful with the amount of time we spend on the road."

Dan Spitz

"What I like about the KRK VXT is two-fold: The Kevlar woofer is a wonderful thing; it gives and takes but it is not stiff. The silk tweeter gives you a little more separation between the minute frequencies. I monitor at whisper-quiet levels to downright loud, and there's no ear-fatigue at all. I don't know how you can make that accurate of a speaker at the price range you do!"

Ron Fair

"Over the past five years I have produced hits for Mary J. Blige, The Pussycat Dolls, The Black Eyed Peas, and Keyshia Cole listening exclusively to KRKs. KRKs are the benchmark for me. In production, in final mixes, in casual listening sessions: it all leads back to KRKs."

Ulrich Rath

"With the ERGO, I was able to create a 'studio-like' mixing situation in different rooms. ERGO gave me the reliability and acoustic consistency that I needed, and the fully automated measure function was perhaps the best feature for me in my day-to-day work."

Ed Cherney

"With KRK Expose I was looking for a pair of speakers that were consistent, and were easy to carry with me, that had enough power to allow me to turn them up and be able to fill the control room with music, but also a speaker that I could turn down and get musical balances, and know that what I was hearing in the studio I was also taking home. And it was a speaker I just bonded with right away."

Cenzo Townshend

"KRKs translate incredibly and what the bands I work with enjoy the best is that music they take home sounds similar to what they heard in the studio... because if you get the mix sounding right on any of the KRK range it'll sound good anywhere. I've tried an awful lot of speakers."

Marsh Mastering

In an industry driven by technological evolution and process revolution, it is clear that artists and engineers always have an eye on what's next. "Whatever is going on with the shape and design of the VXTs is killer. They literally don't sound boxy, you can close your eyes and the sound just emanates from them."

Binky Griptite

"I love the my VXT8s. They let me hear clearly whats going on in my mixes." "Retro is a trend… Old School is an attitude; it's about doing things the way they're supposed to be done." Binky does Soul and Funk music the way it's supposed to be done: dirty, gritty and nasty!

Amadeus

"As a producer I want the best of both worlds... bottom that can handle my heavy drums and bass, as well as the clarity and precision required to create the best mixes on my records. I can only get that using my KRK Rokit 8's."

Emmy Rossum

By the age of seven, she was singing with the Metropolitan Opera, performing in more than 20 separate productions in six different languages at Lincoln Center alongside icons such as Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti.

Rossum's album Inside Out was produced by Stuart Brawley a featured KRK user. It was released on October 23, 2007 and peaked at 199 in the U.S. charts.

Daniel Porter

"It's all a bit over my head, but I don't care. I've learned to trust my ears, and my ears trust KRK. I've been in enough sessions, in enough rooms, to know what sounds right."

Junei'

"It wasn't about the money. Everything I've done musically has been done for love and passion. It has to be in you. Back in the day I thought I had it right. But after revisiting some of my older work, a remix through the KRKs changed everything. You know how when a woman has just the right amount of perfume how it makes you want more. Some speakers when you take them up to a certain sound level you feel compelled to pull it back. But with KRKs you never feel like it's too much."

Peter Schmidt

"The E8B really enjoying the mixes sound great outside of the studio and this is important. This speaker makes you want to listen to music, even if the work already done. When are as quiet volume of the sound is reproduced perfectly, facilities and the finest finishes in the stereo image is clearly understood."

American Film Institute

"KRK monitors have great representation of high and low frequencies. They are clear and velvety and allow me to hear every nuance without causing my ears to fatigue"

SAE

KRK studio monitors are installed in SAE's facilities in Cape Town, Ljubljana, Oxford, Stuttgart, Istanbul and San Francisco.
