Adamfrom Boulder CO May 6, 2013Music Background: DJ, Producer Good Stuff!I added this to my Yamaha HS50m order after some quick research and help from my Sweetwater guy.Part of my research was between the Yam HS80's & HS50's. When I found info on the freq response the 80's had a dip (somewhere in the mid range as I recall) that the 50's combined with this sub (or really any sub actually) would cover. Needless to say, after getting used to this setup and understanding how my mixes were translating, I'm in a whole different elevated league of music production. Hours spent going back and forth to the car and the iPod boombox are over! Second point: after being plagued with this annoying buzz for 2 years when my harddrives would spin and cursor move around the screen, I discovered this was caused from a "ground loop." I had spent a good while googling solutions, unplugging power cords, plugging them back in, turning of the computer only to turn it back on again to find the cause, and finally about to pull the trigger on a $100 ground loop isolator or some direct box when I noiced this KRK sub has a little tiny switch labelled LIFT-GRND...well low and behold if that little switch didn't fix my problem when moved into the LIFT position!!! (FYI, that's short for GROUND LIFT for you guys out there that are discovering this for the first time) This feature alone should convince you guys to just buy this sub. Great value and features...and sure it sounds good, but afterall, it's bass we're talking about here.
Andy Rumade a.k.a. {X-FaCtOr}from Evansville, Indiana May 10, 2012Music Background: Played guitar for 12 years, been making electronic music for 5 years, A.A.S. in Audio Recording. Fantastic! Crisp, clear bass!This is a great sub! I make a lot of electronic music, and was looking for a good sub that would accurately give me my bass frequencies. This sub did the job, and then some! I can't say enough good stuff about it! Even though, its not huge, it throws out the spl's like crazy. I had to turn down the sub quite a bit so it wouldn't overpower my KRK Rokit 8's (Which are fantastic as well, I might add.) Basically, just make sure you have your settings right for it and this sub will easily fulfill your bass needs for a small/medium studios.
Bennett Williamsfrom Muncie, IN December 2, 2011Music Background: Drummer, Saxophonist, Mastering engineer. SOLID THUMPERThe KRK 10S sub is HOT. I have it in with a pair of Mackie HR624 monitors, and it has opened up my sound like nothing has before. In addition to my amateur stereo mastering rig, I also have my monitors wired into my home theater setup; where I have used a line level shifter to raise all of the levels to +4dBu. Running a Blu-Ray movie through the monitors and the KRK 10S is something to behold. I am sure my neighbors hate me now, because this has some very serious, powerful bass. I think for the money in new gear, (as opposed to used) you would be hard pressed to find a better sub than the KRK 10S.
Frank Tfrom United States January 3, 2013Music Background: Hobbyost A very Nice upgrade to our studio environmentThanks to my Sales engineer and his recommendations, we added this active sub-woofer and isolation pad. The sound is remarkable.
S. Flynn.from USA August 10, 2011Music Background: recordist, mixer, producer An excellent, affordable sub for near-field workI've owned the 10s for about 4 years and I very much appreciate it. It has enough power and headroom for near-field, critical listening (as a part of a properly calibrated, full range system). Bass frequencies come across as full and realistic. The high pass filter helps when you're calibrating and integrating the sub into an existing monitoring setup (in my case 2.1). For the money it's an outstanding value. As active subs go at any price it's one of the most useful ones I've come across of it's size and power output.
Jerryfrom Roanoke Va. June 2, 2011Music Background: production krk subs are boomin'These subs are extremely powerful, I had to turn it down as low as possible to use it in my small control room. This would make a great speaker for a surround sound system.
