KRK has officially launched its new Kreate Series studio monitors, introducing a budget-friendly, professional-grade monitoring solution aimed at emerging producers, musicians, podcasters, and content creators. With an emphasis on versatility, sound clarity, and accessibility, the new line features innovative designs, Bluetooth streaming capability, and a focus on user adaptability across different acoustic environments.

Available now via select retailers and online at krkmusic.com, the Kreate Series is positioned as an entry-level solution in KRK’s studio monitor portfolio, yet it carries hallmark technologies and design philosophy from the brand’s more premium lines.

Sterling Doak, Senior Director of Marketing, commented: “The Kreate Series offers professional-grade sound and flexible functionality that empowers emerging artists, producers, podcasters, and all creators to embrace high-quality audio at an affordable price point. The monitors fill a vital space in the KRK lineup and are ideal for those who demand quality without compromise.”

Three Size Options, One Vision

The Kreate Series is available in three sizes—3-inch, 5-inch, and 8-inch woofer configurations—allowing users to tailor their monitoring setup to fit both their space and sonic needs. The Kreate 3 is sold as a pair, while the 5 and 8-inch models are priced individually.

Each monitor in the series is a two-way active design, equipped with hybrid Class D/Class AB amplification. This configuration delivers powerful output while keeping operating temperatures low, an essential feature for extended sessions in both home and professional studios. System tuning is further enhanced with dedicated boundary and EQ tuning controls, allowing users to optimize performance based on room acoustics.

High-End Tech, Entry-Level Price

Among the standout features is the inclusion of wireless Bluetooth® streaming. This addition not only enables quick referencing of tracks from mobile devices but also broadens the monitors’ appeal to casual listeners and multimedia creators who value seamless connectivity. Analog inputs—both balanced and unbalanced—round out the connectivity options, offering flexibility for diverse audio setups.

Under the hood, the monitors feature composite woven glass fiber woofers, delivering tight, punchy low-end performance and excellent damping. According to KRK, this construction enhances midrange articulation and low-frequency response, a combination well-suited to both music production and podcast post-production.

For high-frequency clarity, the monitors employ a woven-textile dome tweeter powered by a neodymium motor. Frequency extension reaches up to 40kHz on the 5 and 8-inch models (33kHz on the 3-inch), providing detailed top-end response that benefits mixing and mastering workflows.

Designed for Real-World Environments

KRK has placed strong emphasis on room adaptability with the Kreate Series. The inclusion of tuning EQs and acoustic boundary correction allows the monitors to perform reliably in less-than-ideal spaces—a common challenge for creators working in untreated home studios.

A switch-mode power supply with universal voltage support adds another layer of convenience for global users, making the Kreate Series a viable option for touring musicians, mobile engineers, and content creators with portable workflows.

Style Meets Substance

Visually, the Kreate Series follows KRK’s established aesthetic, debuting in the classic black/yellow colorway. A new latte/black color scheme, below —set for release in Fall 2025—adds a modern design twist, appealing to creators seeking a softer studio look.

The new packaging and stylization are also part of KRK’s continued brand evolution, aligning visually with its broader product lineup while introducing fresh elements that signify the Kreate Series as a new direction within the portfolio.

A Confident First Step for New Creators

Positioned as a “first-step” solution in the KRK range, the Kreate Series underscores the brand’s mission to support the next generation of creators with tools that don’t compromise on sonic integrity. Whether used for mixing tracks, producing podcasts, or streaming content, the monitors are designed to offer consistent, reliable performance.

With a blend of professional engineering and user-focused features, KRK’s Kreate Series could prove to be a compelling choice for creators seeking to elevate their audio experience without exceeding their budget.

Sweetwater lists the 3s at $179 per pair, the 5s at $338 and the 8s at $579.
