Yellow, loud, and deep

The KRK Kreate 5 are individually available, powerful two-way studio monitors equipped with Bluetooth connectivity and an integrated bass reflex port, featuring a 5" driver with a yellow composite cone made of glass fibre-reinforced aramid for low and midrange reproduction, paired with a 1" fabric dome tweeter that sits safely behind a perforated metal grille. The familiar KRK combination of low mass, high rigidity, and internal damping enables precise diaphragm movement, resulting in clear and controlled performance in the low and mid frequencies, which can be seen, among other aspects, in the favourable group delay times below 100Hz. The textile dome tweeter adds finely detailed high-frequency reproduction and helps create a wide, pronounced sweet spot at the listening position, making the monitors reliable tools for focused work.

Even the bats will hear it

The KRK Kreate 5 reaches high frequencies up to 40kHz, a range far beyond human hearing that nonetheless contributes to an exceptionally clean, precisely defined reproduction in the audible band up to roughly 21kHz. Its bass response extends down to 58Hz (±3dB), with the lowest usable frequency at a deep 46Hz, and the response remains notably linear below 100Hz, which is especially valuable in the challenging low-frequency region. The monitor relies on a bi-amping design that combines a 45W Class D amplifier for the woofer with a 15W Class A/B amplifier for the tweeter, delivering a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of up to 105dB at full volume. A rear-mounted volume control completes the setup and allows quick adjustment within different working environments.

An affordable powerhouse

The KRK Kreate 5 will suit users seeking an affordable monitoring system that can handle music production and web content while also catering to casual music listening or film viewing, offering a sound calibration that supports analytical yet fatigue-free listening during prolonged sessions. Designed for near-field use, it performs best at distances of roughly one to one and a half metres, and two shelving filters allow gentle adaptation to room acoustics, with bass and treble adjustable by -1dB or -2dB, or raised by +1dB for a slightly brighter or fuller balance. Connection options include balanced XLR and 6.5mm TRS inputs alongside an unbalanced RCA input for HiFi components. The ability to stream audio wirelessly via Bluetooth adds a practical touch and integrates smoothly with smartphones or other Bluetooth-enabled devices.

About KRK

The KRK Systems brand, today a subsidiary of US guitar manufacturer Gibson, has existed since 1986, and has acquired as many years of experience in the construction and design of studio monitors. Today, KRK's product range has extended to include subwoofers and headphones, in addition to their near- and midfield monitors. KRK adepts include such illustrious names as Mark "Spike" Stent (Ed Sheeran’s sound engineer), Grammy winner Ed Cherney, rock producer Jacquire King, rock and metal producer Ulrich Wild as well as trance DJ Armin van Buuren.

For all types of studios

The KRK Kreate 5 provides versatile connectivity, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of production environments - be it as a reliable monitor in a home studio, at a video editing station, as a powerful desk speaker, or as part of a multi-channel home cinema system. While the Kreate 5 already delivers impressive low-frequency performance, users working with electronic music or other bass-heavy material may benefit from adding a subwoofer, which not only relieves the monitors in the lower range but also adds a significant downward expansion to the overall reproduction range. For a full stereo setup, we recommend using a pair of these speakers.

Schöne, basslastige Speaker
Tamam 09.12.2025
Alles perfekt für den Preis, einzig der fehlende Volume-Regler an der Front nervt, aber das sollte jedem bewusst sein. Abgesehen davon gute Verarbeitung, klasse Sound etc.
