Behringer NEKKST K8 150W Bi-Amplified 8" Studio Monitor

Behringer K8 Overview

Craft mixes that translate across the widest possible spectrum of audio playback devices with the Behringer NEKKST K8 studio monitor, designed by KRK founder Keith Klawitter. This custom-engineered bi-amp system features a total of 150W of Class-D amplification driving an 8" glass-fiber woofer and a 1" silk-dome tweeter for deep, tight bass with virtually smear-proof mids and sparkling highs. In addition, the Advanced Waveguide delivers a very wide sweet spot, allowing you to move about the room and still get an accurate representation of the stereo mix.

Bi-Amplification-The Path to Signal Integrity

With its 150 ultraclean watts of output delivered through separatelypowered drivers via a true bi-amping mode with 2 amplifiers per speaker, the K8 delivers high-resolution sound that really brings out the best in your music.

Instead of applying simple passive crossovers, which not only inaccurately separate the frequency spectrum, but most importantly impact the drivers' performance, Behringer has gone the extra mile, driving each woofer and tweeter with a separate amplifier for improved signal integrity.

Thoughtful Design

The ultralinear 150-watt reference-class NEKKST K8 was designed by renowned acoustic icon and founder of KRK, Keith R. Klawitter—a man who has devoted much of his life to the quest for the perfect loudspeaker. The K8 features Keith’s advanced Waveguide technology for the ultimate in acoustic dispersion, which generates an extremely large sweet zone for easy and optimal monitoring.

A true bi-amped system, an ingenious crossover design, and separate amplifiers are utilized for high- and low-frequency signals, providing superb sound reproduction from the long-throw, deformation-resistant, glass-fiber cone woofer and pristinely accurate silk-dome tweeter. The NEKKST K8 not only satisfies seasoned engineers and producers, but makes audiophile-level sound accessible to both home and professional recording studio applications. Keith Klawitter wrote the book when it comes to modern studio monitors, and to quote the monitor-master—This is my best work yet!

Environmentally Friendly

The ability for a studio monitor to adapt to a wide range of acoustic conditions is of paramount importance, and the NEKKST K8 delivers extreme versatility in this arena. K8’s rear panel features switches for adjusting high- and low-frequency response, compensating for varying room attributes, or for pairing with a dedicated subwoofer. Independently controlled limiters protect both the woofer and tweeter against overload.

Since a monitor’s output is only as good as its input, the NEKKST K8 includes a servo-balanced front end and accepts XLR, TRS, and unbalanced RCA connectors for extremely flexible connectivity. The high-density composite enclosure guarantees ultralow diffraction and reduced low-frequency distortion.
