KRK is back with a brand-new line of powered studio monitors aimed squarely at musicians, engineers, producers, and content creators looking for pro-grade performance without blowing the budget. The new Kreate Series brings KRK’s legendary sound to three distinct sizes — Kreate 8, Kreate 5, and Kreate 3 — each tuned to match different studio setups and creative needs.
At the top of the line is the Kreate 8, a powerhouse with an 8″ woven glass fiber woofer and 1″ textile dome tweeter, delivering extended frequency response from 48Hz to 40kHz. Bi-amped with 100 watts of total power (80W LF / 20W HF), it offers massive dynamic output up to 111 dB SPL, perfect for larger rooms or anyone needing deep low-end clarity.
It also features KRK‘s tuning EQs and room boundary control, plus Bluetooth 5.3 wireless input, and XLR/TRS/RCA connectivity. This monitor is made for creators who demand high headroom and punch, whether you’re mixing rock, EDM, or film scores.
The Kreate 5 hits the sweet spot for many studios, with a 5″ woofer and 1″ tweeter, covering a range from 58Hz to 40kHz. With 60 watts of power (45W LF / 15W HF) and a max SPL of 105 dB, it’s got the punch for accurate monitoring in small-to-medium spaces.
Like its bigger sibling, it includes balanced and unbalanced inputs, Bluetooth, and room-tuning options. If you’re a producer, podcaster, or multi-instrumentalist with limited space but big expectations, this is the one to watch.
Designed for ultra-portable and desktop setups, the Kreate 3 is a pair of monitors (left active, right passive) with 3.5″ woofers and 3/4″ tweeters. It covers 70Hz to 33kHz, with a total output of 65 watts, and hits a surprising 104 dB SPL for its size.
Connectivity is flexible, with TRS, RCA, AUX, and Bluetooth options, and its 147° wide horizontal dispersion makes it great for tight or shared listening spaces. Ideal for content creators, streamers, or mobile producers who want solid sound without overkill.
Long story short, the Kreate 8 is built for full-scale production, the Kreate 5 offers balance and flexibility, and the Kreate 3 keeps things simple, compact, and affordable without sacrificing clarity. The KRK Kreate Series starts at $169. Get ’em here.
