| | Description | KRK's KRK10s powered subwoofer is the perfect complement to KRK Rokit, VXT, or any other 4"-8" studio monitor. The KRK10s is designed to extend the low-frequency performance of an existing monitor system so that the low-frequency portion of the mix can be properly engineered. The KRK10s also feature a great looking cabinet that echoes the curved edges of the Rokit and VXT monitors. The front-firing bass port and KRK's trademark yellow glass-aramid composite woofer ensure accurate and powerful low-end punch. A sturdy grill protects the woofer and adds to the sleek appearance of the unit. A high-power amplifier and active crossovers provide smooth and accurate reproduction. | |

The only subwoofer that's mean enough to compete with Classic Cerwin Wega's Jan 01, 2012
By Vijay Rajaram

**To the person who returned this sub, stating that the 'bass was very strong but it was really floppy and destroyed the music' - you need to give it a few hours to break in before you judge it's performance!**
I've had many subwoofers in the past, notably Klipsch RW-10, Rw-12, RW-12D( lcd variant of the RW-12), Definitive Tech Supercube-1 and some others.
I've also owned some powerful floor standing speakers including vintage Fishers, Pioneers and Sansuis with large/supersized woofers and currently, my most powerful combo - Cerwin Wega RE-38's that can eat 400 watts a piece. They're so massive that each unit sports TWO 5 inch rear port ducts. These dogs are leashed on Adcom's that put out 325 watts/channel - that's excess of 650 watts from power amps, not from a typical HT receiver.
Frankly, none of the subs I've owned have ever able to properly complement any *large* pair of floor standing mains I've used- they've either not hit deep enough to warrant the need for a sub -(ie they've had their bass shadowed by the mains) and/or had plenty of harmonic distortion to boot at any reasonable volume setting, leading me to believe that a sub wasn't really a worthwhile option *unless you were running satellites or bookshelves*.
Enter the KRK 10s - it complements these CW floor monsters perfectly, hitting deeper than the CW's which are already pretty aggressive on the bass front. The 10s is also so musical that I sometimes wonder if were actually a 6 incher! The sub is very sturdy, the box in no way rattles, unlike the subs mentioned above that tend to do that at modestly high db levels. The KRK is capable of giving you the 'car stereo' experience in a typical living room environment.
Port noise is very minimal/nonexistent at any usable loudness levels. The protective metal grill is a nice touch for those that own pets or have kids. The sub also looks quite trendy, sporting KRK's signature yellow driver.
The only minor gripe with the 10s is the absence of an Auto-sensing ON/OFF mechanism which really isn't a big deal anyway, as that feature is actually a deal breaker for night-time listening.
Buy this and give it a few hours to break in, you will never turn back.

A cool speaker.... Aug 08, 2010
By C. Basner
I purchased this subwoofer as part of a 'system' (which includes 2 KRK RP8 speakers) for my Korg M3 Keyboard Workstation. I was using my old computer speakers until I got this setup. This subwoofer is impressive, however, I must say my days of having 'golden ears' is long gone. Too many years of exposure to loud sounds (concerts, guitars, motorcycles) and age (51) means I don't have the kind of ears that are particularly discriminating. However, the new keyboard needed a sound system that covered lots of frequencies, the bottom end in particular. I looked into a lot of 'studio monitor' systems, and decided that KRK offered the best options in terms of price/performance. I also must admit that I didn't audition any speakers by listening. It was purely a documentation type review. That said, I'm thrilled with what I've got. The subwoofer has a volume control (which needs to be barely cracked off zero to create a balanced sound with the RP8s), and a variable crossover frequency, to allow a good mix with the other monitors (again, this is something someone with good hearing could take advantage of, which I don't; I left the crossover at 130Hz, the top end). KRK offers a tool which is said to create optimized settings for any room, but I didn't see a need for that. You WILL need cables, though, 4 total, two from the mixer/keyboard, and two more from the subwoofer to the other monitors. The nice thing about KRK is that they provide a number of different options for those connections, at least the input to the subwoofer (only XLR or RCA on the output side of the subwoofer). The input to the subwoofer can be XLR, 1/4" (like a regular guitar/amp cord) or even standard RCA (stereo type) cables, those these latter are unbalanced (which essentially means that a long run may end up being noisy, since there is no shielding in this kind of cable). I used old guitar cables at first, while I waited for my the XLR cables which I ordered from Amazon to get here. I'd be lying if I told you that I could tell any difference between the types of cables, sonically. They are equally secure in terms of solidity of connection. Still, if you want the best possible performance, get XLRs.
I'm very happy with this unit. I've read that it puts out 150 watts, and other places say 225, and I'm too lazy to look up the details in the product documentation. Suffice to say, the power is ridiculous, and would, I believe, easily fill a small concert venue. In my office, a 10'x12' room with cathedral ceiling and hard floor, it's way overkill. In fact, with the 8" drivers of the main monitors (the RP8s), I may have been able to get away without the subwoofer. However, because of the synthesizer portion of the keyboard, I definitely wanted to take advantage of the low end it can produce. The K10S definitely fills that part of the sonic spectrum for me. KRK used to make a 12" subwoofer, with even more wattage, which is what I wanted originally, but the K10S is more than I need as it is,
You have the option to remove the grill, to expose the really cool yellow rimmed speaker cone, but probably not a good idea; the grill provides protection (but the RP8 monitors come without grills; they are an extra cost option). One other thing, if, like me, you like to keep things 'clean', the subwoofer doens not come with a cover. I had one made, to keep the dust off.
Overall, highly recommended.

Thump, Thump, Thump... Nov 03, 2010
By Scott Knudsen
After the CD player on my Sony bookshelf system (also reviewed on Amazon) finally gave up and they wanted more money to fix it than it was worth, I decided I would use my old computer as my home stereo system.
After doing some online research and talking to a salesman that sold most every brand I ended up with this 10" KRK Active Sub and a pair of KRK RP6G2 Rokit G2 6-inch Powered Studio Monitors.
I have this set up in my 16' X 16' living room, and it is on the verge of being overkill. The sound is nice and pure though. If you want a 'real' sub for your computer for video games, music or just to impress your friends then I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of these.
You will need to buy a cable that has a 1/8" plug to two 1/4" plugs to connect to your graphics card.
You have the option of RCA or XLR outputs to go to your monitors. I used the XLR outputs to go to the 6" monitors.
