Building on KRK's legacy of sonic accuracy and performance, the new KRK CLASSIC 5 powered studio monitors incorporate over 30 years of innovation from the world's leading studio monitor manufacturer. Borrowing concepts from previous ROKIT lines—some of the most used studio monitors in the world, the CLASSIC 5 defaults to a new flat frequency solution towards more critical listening—translating into more accurate mixes. With the optional ability to engage the +2 dB KRK Bass Boost, the CLASSIC 5 can also provide the enhanced bass response and sound that music creators around the world have loved for years.
The CLASSIC 5 is an active (self-powered) two-way studio monitor that utilizes a 1" textile soft dome tweeter paired with a 5" glass aramid woofer. The built-in power amplifiers provide a total of 50 watts of power, with a 30 watt amp driving the woofer, and a 20 watt amp for the tweeter.
The Peacemaker pickups are PAF-voiced humbuckers spiced up to deliver vintage hot output from both bridge and neck powered by isotropic Alnico V magnets and our custom hand wound coils.
The ride is firm and controlled from the bridge with more than enough drive to really saturate under heavy gain but never at the expense of mid-range definition or dynamic headroom. Necktones are designed to sound fat in the highs with just the right amount of bite dialed in to punch through the mix for really solid lead tones. Both bridge and neck are precisely calibrated to work as a matched pair producing the perfect balance of output for scorching rock guitar tones.
Peacemaker humbuckers are available with the full range of Bare Knuckle standard and custom options including the exclusive Peacemaker peace-mandala etch.
Open coil sets start from £358.80. Covered sets start from £388.80. For more information, please visit bareknucklepickups.co.uk.
