Product Description
The KRK ERGO (Enhanced Room Geometry Optimization) is a 4-in/6-out Firewire audio recording interface/room correction system that enables you to measure and analyze phase and frequency problems in your monitoring environment. Its the perfect solution when your studio monitoring environment is less than ideal and you dont quite have the budget for perfect studio design or room treatment (foam/panels).The KRK ERGO is a sturdily built metal unit with a sweet set of features that recordists of all levels will appreciate. It hooks up easily to your existing system via the rear panel firewire ports or S/PDIF connection. The large volume control along with integrated headphone amplifier means it functions beautifully as a studio monitor controller. Top panel buttons for monitor switching are easy to control and allow you to switch from 1 set of monitors (A) to another set or a subwoofer (B/Sub).The ERGOs onboard digital processing along with the accompanying software automatically corrects offending room issues using the included measurement microphone. You just place the mic at your perfect sitting position, adjust your speaker levels, and record the left and right calibration signals. Youll then take a few more measurements (at higher and lower positions) so the KRK ERGO can gather as much room information as possible before calibrating the filters for perfect compensation. This foolproof process takes all of 10 minutes and results in a dramatic improvement in your listening experience.The KRK ERGO also doubles as a high-end audio interface making it an indispensible studio tool in more ways than one.Rear panel connections include 2-Firewire ports, SPDIF digital, L/R TRS inputs, 2-sets of TRS outputs a headphone jack and a input jack for the calibration microphone (included).Get your KRK ERGO Room Correction System today from Sam Ash Direct and enjoy the confidence that comes from fast, free shipping, the guaranteed lowest price and our 45/60-day return/price pro...

All About the KRK Ergo Studio Monitor Room Processor
The KRK Ergo Studio Monitor Room Processor (ERGO - Enhanced Room Geometry Optimization) automatically tailors the sound in your mixing environment to give you a much more accurate room and better mixes. A great mix starts with a great recording room. But when it comes to achieving the most accurate mix, your room may have the upper hand. Like any room, your studio’s acoustics include offending frequencies and room reflections, and none of these are helping your mix. Getting a handle on these problems has traditionally meant the installation of soft foam or fabrics, and that’s a great start. But now you can get even closer to a perfect room, and a perfect mix, because the future of studio sound is here, and it’s called ERGO.ERGO's high-end sound quality makes it perfect for the discriminating audio professional, while the affordable price puts it within reach of the typical recording hobbyist. Every studio needs an ERGO, because even the most accurate monitor in an imperfect room isn't going to solve mixing problems, but ERGO will. ERGO also makes your mix translate from the studio to different environments. How good is a great track that only sounds great in your room? With ERGO, your mix sounds great everywhere you or your fans want to hear it. Want better sound, and in more places? Put an ERGO in the mix.
ERGO is a digital room analysis/correction system and consists of the ERGO unit, a microphone, and control software. These three pieces are used to measure and analyze phase/frequency problems within a listening environment.
KRK ERGO: Smarter than Your Average Gear
Room correction products aren’t new, but thank goodness ERGO is. While conventional room correction systems utilize simple analysis and limited bands of EQ (often fewer than 8), ERGO uses multiple measurements and proprietary algorithms to create a 3D image of the room, and then applies 1024 dynamic filters to control the audio environment. Our 3D model allows users to preserve the “good” characteristics of the room, while correcting the bad... ERGO doesn’t color the sound or produce an artificially sterile environment. ERGO produces the best mix for a given room; a mix that will translate better to other listening environments, since it was mixed in a perfect room.KRK Ergo Features:
- Large Volume Knob: Ultra-smooth response volume control provides simultaneous control of ERGO's A/B/Sub outputs.
- A Speakers: Enables or disables the audio being sent to the A speakers.
- B Speakers: Enables or disables the audio being sent to the B or subwoofer speakers.
- Room Correction: Turns room correction processing on or off.
- Focus/Global: The 3D model allows users to preserve the good features of the room, while correcting the bad. This gives you perfectly corrected sound while mixing. In Global mode, the corrected spot is widened so that others (producers, musicians, groupies) can enjoy your mix in a corrected environment.
- Headphone Volume (side panel): Adjusts the output level of the headphone jack. The headphones have their own independent audio stream, or can mirror the A stream.
- Calibration Switch (back panel): This enables the room calibration microphone and places ERGO into analysis mode.
Accurate Room Correction
Samples your room well, and gives you two stages of accurate imaging. I could tell that boomy bass freq and others were cleaned up the very first time that I tried the unit.However, this is one of those items where you really notice when it is later bypassed. Even the best speakers will sound better in ANY room with this unit.Its only problem is that the Orient copy factory is now turning out almost identical units for about 1/4 the price.
