Behringer NEKKST K8 Bi-Amped 8″ Studio Monitor (Pair)

The Behringer NEKKST K8 Bi-Amped 8″ Studio Monitor (Pair) is a bi-amped, powered studio monitor designed for critical listening in a mixing environment. It features a 1″ tweeter, an 8″ woofer, a frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, a maximum SPL of 102 dB, and a fixed crossover at 3 kHz.

For inputs, this monitor provides an XLR connection point, as well as a 1/4″ TRS balanced and an RCA unbalanced termination. It features switchable low, midrange, and high EQs on the back for help in tailoring the monitor to your specific room environment, as well as a variable input trim. It allows for a maximum output-power-handling at 150W, and works quite comfortably at 150W.

Its proprietary waveguide technology aims to provide acoustic dispersion and a large sweet spot for accurate monitoring, while its bi-amped Class-D designed allows for separate powering of the tweeter and woofer to preserve your signal’s integrity. All of this contained in a high-density composite enclosure for low diffraction and reduced low-frequency distortion.

NEKKST K8

The 150-Watt NEKKST K8 Studio Monitor’s unparalleled, world-class performance is the result of a major collaboration between BEHRINGER audio engineers and loudspeaker master-designer/founder of KRK – Keith R. Klawitter. This incredible reference system is ideal for all critical listening environments thanks to the custom-engineered bi-amplification system that features separate amplifiers for the 8″ glass-fiber woofer and 1″ silk-dome tweeter.

K8’s long-throw woofer generates deep, tight bass and virtually smear-proof mids, while the ultra-high resolution tweeter provides sparkling highs – all enhanced by Keith’s Advanced Waveguide Technology for an extremely generous sweet spot.

Bi-Amplification – The Path to Absolute Signal Integrity

With its 150 ultra-clean Watts of output, delivered through separately-powered 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. You will notice that most competitors apply simple passive crossovers, which not only inaccurately separate the frequency spectrum, but most importantly impact the drivers’ performance.
