Keith R. Klawitter designs great-
sounding studio monitors. He practically
invented them—just ask any fan of the
hugely popular KRK* monitors. We love
them too, so much so that we asked him
to design some for us. What he gave us is
nothing short of breathtaking and he calls
it his best workyet!
Meet Your NEKKST Studio Monitors
Keith R. Klawitter is a perfectionist
and it shows in everything he puts his
hand to. We are pleased and honored to
present these K8 and K5 studio monitors,
the embodiment of state-of-the-art,
patent-pending technology and inspired
artistic design.
Thinking Outside the Box
By their very nature, studio monitors
are designed to be neutral, to provide
a true image of your mix, without
coloration or distortion. But they also
need to be adjusted to accommodate
their environment. To facilitate easy
calibration, Keith built in convenient
remote control capability and created
an iOS App so you can adjust the K8/K5’s
acoustic characteristics right from your seat
in the “sweet spot” via your iPhone or iPad.

Iconic Studio Monitor Modeling
Another advantage of NEKKST studio
monitors is the ability to download models
of iconic studio monitors, as well as the
listening environments of world-class
producers and recording artists, all of which
are controllable directly from your
iPad/iPhone.
Bluetooth Streaming
K8 and K5 monitors also feature
Bluetooth connectivity, so when you
nish your session and just want to
relax, you can stream music directly
from a Bluetooth-enabled device. When
it comes to sound, there’s no need to
settle. Thanks to KeithR.Klawitter and
BEHRINGER, you won’t have to!
