Krk - V6 S5 (La paire) + Caisson S8.4
KRK’s V6 Series Five and S8.4 system forms an active monitoring setup designed to accurately cover the entire frequency spectrum, from the bass register right through to the finest details, with a sonic presence that keeps mixing decisions clear and consistent. The pre-amps at the front end deliver detailed reproduction, and the Class D amplifier stages take over with a controlled response, whilst the control and EQ options allow you to fine-tune the sound without turning the studio into a nightmare.
Composition of the package
Presentation
Paragraph 2: 81 words
Each V6 Series Five features a ∅6.5" woofer with a woven Kevlar aramid fibre cone, complemented by a 1" silk dome tweeter, to cover the spectrum with finesse and clarity in detailed productions and critical listening. The frequency response of 40 Hz to 40 kHz and a maximum sound pressure level of 118 dB SPL provide ample headroom for scrutinising the details of a mix with precision, even during prolonged and attentive listening sessions.
Paragraph 3: 76 words
The S8.4 delivers extended bass with a specified response of 34.5 Hz to 133 Hz, thanks to its 8-inch aramid-glass composite woofer and 109 W continuous Class D amplification. Its front-firing port enhances extension at the lower end of the spectrum, whilst its reinforced MDF cabinet helps maintain structural integrity when low frequencies build in intensity, particularly in high-energy arrangements below 100 Hz.
Paragraph 4: 78 words
The subwoofer’s crossover settings facilitate its integration with powered monitors thanks to a 4-position selectable crossover and a high-pass filter bypass function, both of which are useful for adjusting the low-frequency response. Footswitch control also allows you to quickly mute the subwoofer and restore a full-range signal to the monitors, without altering the rest of the audio chain during listening sessions or mix comparisons.
Paragraph 5: 76 words
The V6 Series Five can be controlled via Bluetooth using KRK’s Control app, which manages the functions of each speaker individually or in groups via a dedicated interface for remote adjustment of the main available parameters. This interface provides access to 25 fixed EQ presets tailored to specific acoustic conditions and 7 parametric EQs with delay, allowing for fine-tuning of a system’s response and compensation for certain acoustic constraints in the production studio.
Paragraph 6: 82 words
The system is ideal for music production, mixing, mastering, sound design, broadcasting and audiovisual production, with an architecture suited to various listening and working environments, from production studios to set-ups designed for audiovisual production. The controls available on the monitors and subwoofer also allow for specific configurations, particularly for immersive set-ups, cinema and spaces where the acoustic response requires precise and methodical adjustment.

Equalisation control goes beyond predefined settings thanks to 7 presets for low frequencies and a further 7 for high frequencies, supplemented by corrections tailored to the constraints of the surrounding environment. The voicing presets can be fully customised, with adjustments to frequency, boost and Q-factor for seven user profiles.
The KRK Control App also makes it easy to compare multiple sound profiles using Compare mode, which allows for A/B/C comparisons between different user-created voicings. A graphical representation allows you to visualise the active voicing, providing an immediate reference during adjustments and making it easier to identify the differences between multiple configurations.
