SCOTT STORCH CLASSIC 8ss

KRK’s First-Ever Limited-Edition Artist Signature Model

KRK is proud to announce the first-ever KRK limited-edition artist signature model, a collaboration with legendary producer Scott Storch. Scott has brought his distinctive fashion taste and sense of style to the popular KRK Classic 8 monitors that he has used extensively throughout his career. The KRK Scott Storch Classic 8ss Studio Monitor features a distinctive Gold Chrome electroplated front baffle with Scott Storch’s signature. A Scott Storch logo and signature are also featured on the rear panel.

All of the Classic 8 features that have made this model Scott’s choice for his own studio have been retained. Building on KRK's legacy of sonic accuracy and performance, the new KRK Scott Storch Classic 8ss 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 Scott Storch Classic 8ss 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 Scott Storch Classic 8ss can also provide the enhanced bass response and sound that music creators around the world have loved for years.

The Scott Storch Classic 8ss is an active (self-powered) two-way studio monitor that utilizes a 1" textile soft dome tweeter paired with an 8" glass aramid woofer. The built-in power amplifiers provide a total of 100 watts of power, with a 75-watt amp driving the woofer and a 25-watt amp for the tweeter.
