KRK V6S5

Precision, power and advanced adaptation with the KRK V6S5

The KRK V6S5 is a 2-way nearfield active studio monitor, designed for music production, mixing, mastering and professional post-production. It combines a 6.5-inch woven Kevlar aramid fiber woofer with a 1-inch silk dome tweeter and powerful 455 W Class D bi-amplification.

Its wide frequency response, controlled dispersion and comprehensive DSP features allow you to evaluate the details of a mix with precision. In addition, KRK Mesh technology allows you to control the monitor wirelessly via the KRK Control App, both individually and as part of stereo, multichannel or immersive systems.

What makes the KRK V6S5 special?

One of the V6S5's strengths is its ability to provide direct, detailed reproduction that adapts to different listening environments. Its 6.5" Kevlar woofer is designed to provide a controlled, low-distortion response, while the silk dome tweeter clearly reproduces high-frequency details.

The woofer features a shorting ring along with ferrite main and compensation magnets to promote linear operation. In the tweeter, a copper cap and a large rear damping chamber help maintain clean, controlled reproduction.

Its frequency response extends up to 40 kHz, providing detailed information in the upper part of the spectrum and an appropriate reference for demanding production, mixing and post-production work.

455 W of bi-amplification

The KRK V6S5 uses two independent Class D amplifiers to power each transducer.

The woofer has 280 W, while the tweeter has 175 W, providing a total power of 455 W.

This configuration allows it to reach a maximum level of 118 dB SPL, providing enough dynamic headroom to work at high levels while maintaining controlled reproduction.

The crossover frequency is set at 1.3 kHz, promoting a coherent transition between the two transducers.

Advanced room acoustics adaptation

Room acoustics and monitor placement can considerably alter the perception of a mix. For this reason, the V6S5 incorporates a powerful DSP system with 25 preset Boundary EQ settings, designed to compensate for common situations such as proximity to walls, work surfaces, or different room geometries.

For more precise adjustments, it also features a fully parametric 7-band PRO EQ.

It also includes a delay function that is especially useful for multichannel systems, immersive installations, and setups where precise time alignment between different monitors is required.

The 3 user presets allow you to save different configurations and quickly switch between them to compare different listening conditions.

Wireless control via KRK Mesh

KRK Mesh technology allows you to control the V6S5 via the KRK Control App directly from a smartphone.

From the app, you can manage parameters such as level, EQ settings, and other monitor features without leaving the listening position.

The monitors can be controlled individually or grouped, making it easier to manage more complex configurations. This makes the system suitable for both a conventional stereo studio and professional multichannel and immersive installations.

Wide and stable stereo image

The V6S5 uses a waveguide specifically developed to control sound dispersion.

It offers a dispersion of 148° horizontally and 128° vertically, helping to maintain a clear and understandable stereo image even when the user moves slightly out of the central listening position.

In addition, its front bass-reflex system makes it easy to install in small rooms or situations where the monitors must be placed relatively close to a wall.
