VXT4 Active Studio Monitor

Drawing upon the design characteristics of KRK’s Expose E8B, the new VXT4 features a visually striking enclosure design that provides low resonance, improved structural integrity and extended low-end, along with slotted ports for reduced port turbulence and a sleek curvature that provides excellent imaging characteristics and a wider sweet spot.

The domed tweeter and the new woofer design both have vented formers to remove heat and reduce the effects of power compression, enabling these monitors to maintain their sonic signature. The molded shape of the VXT allows for radically curved surfaces that sound better. Traditional rectangular speakers suffer from diffraction as sounds leaving the edge of the cabinet are reflected back into the sound field causing phase distortion.

The VXT uses high-tech ABS Structural Foam in its cabinet. This material is very rugged and impact resistant, and makes it possible for KRK engineers to create a speaker with no internal parallel walls, thereby preventing sound-coloring internal nodes. This material also has far better damping characteristics than traditional speaker materials, which eliminate coloration caused by cabinet resonance.

The new, stiffer, lighter woofer cone has an extruded aluminum pole piece and vented formers. This improves transient response, reduces distortion and extends low-frequency response due to this lighter, stiffer cone. The aluminum pole piece and venter formers eliminate overheating.
