Rugged grills designed to protect reference monitor woofer and tweeters while maintaining excellent sonic performance

Hollywood, Fla. - (November 6, 2007) - KRK Systems is proud to announce the release of rugged protection grills for VXT4 and VXT6 reference monitors. The attractive, yet rugged metal grills are designed to protect KRK Systems‘ VXT Series monitor woofers and tweeters while preserving the monitors world-class sonic performance. This is achieved through design elements like the use of rubber gaskets and mounting spacers which eliminate vibration transfers. VXT protection grills are another example of how KRK Systems provides the best solutions in audio monitoring.

KRK Systems‘ rugged protection grills will enable KRK users to utilize their monitors in a variety of different monitoring applications with the confidence to know their monitors are protected. “We listened to the feedback of our customers in the mobile and broadcast production industries; they loved the sonic performance of the VXTs, but they were concerned that the rigors of their professions would damage the sensitive components of the monitors,” explains Mike Newman, KRK‘s director of product management. “Also project studio owners with pets or small children will benefit from using these attractive grills. Our engineers designed these grills to be rugged enough to protect the woofers and tweeters, while taking measures to maintain optimum sonic accuracy.”

The new VXT Protection Grills will be in stores in November and have the following list prices (grills are sold in pairs): VXT6: $64.99, VXT4: $39.99.

About KRK Systems

A member of the Stanton Group of companies, KRK Systems is a leader in studio monitors for the professional audio market. KRK Systems was founded in 1986, by Keith Klawitter. He had been an engineer for years working on such films as “Brainstorm” and “The Doors”. Frustrated by the fact he couldn’t find a monitor that gave him clarity and accuracy, he began building his own monitors. Other engineers and producers began to take notice of Keith’s high-end studio monitors, a groundswell began and a company was born. They also began commissioning him to build custom main systems as well. We attribute this remarkable beginning to Keith’s affinity for electronics, his passion for music, and his originality and insight.

KRK products are distributed throughout the world via a network of distributors and dealers in more than 75 countries. For additional information on all KRK Systems products, please visit us online at www.krksys.com.
