KRK has announced the launch of Scott Storch CLASSIC 8ss limited-edition signature artist release eight-inch studio monitors that are outfitted with a distinctive gold chrome electroplated front baffle as well as the noted producer’s logo and signature.
“For years, the KRK CLASSIC 8 monitors have been essential to my artistic music-making process,” says Storch. “To now have personalized versions of my favorite studio monitors is an exciting venture for me. Designing these monitors has been such a cool experience―one that you don’t often see happen. I’m honored that KRK chose me for its first-ever artist collaboration. I can’t wait to see everyone rocking the Scott Storch CLASSIC 8ss monitors.”
“We are excited to launch our first artist signature series model―and with none other than Scott Storch, an innovator in production and a legend in the music industry,” adds Sterling Doak, Senior Director of Marketing for Gibson Brands. “Scott has consistently been supportive of KRK. Between his initial adoption of the original CLASSIC 8 models in his studio and serving as a mentor for the KRK Kreator Classic, Scott’s partnership with the Gibson family has been a significant one. Now, the KRK Scott Storch CLASSIC 8ss allow us to showcase Scott as a marquee artist. This signature model was designed with Scott to emphasize the eccentric, unique flair that brought him to the level of notoriety he has today.”
The new CLASSIC 8ss is an active (self-powered) two-way studio monitor that utilizes a one-inch textile soft dome tweeter paired with an eight-inch Glass Aramid woofer. The built-in power amplifiers are stated to provide 100 watts of power, with a 75-watt amp driving the woofer and a 25-watt amp for the tweeter. The CLASSIC 8ss defaults to a new flat frequency solution for more critical listening and more accurate mixes, with the optional ability to engage the +2 dB KRK Bass Boost.
New KRK Scott Storch CLASSIC 8ss monitors are available now as a limited run of 500 pairs, and retail at $299 per unit. Go here for more specifics.
