NANO K8 integrates the design philosophy of JBL 4200 Series, the most loved studio monitors by professional musicians in the late 1980s, into its power monitor and carefully positions the tweeters and the woofers so that low, mid and high frequencies reach the listener at the same instant and acoustic centres can be aligned. For high frequencies, the NANO K8 employs the Image Control Waveguide from the flagship M2 master reference monitors, bringing greater depth and subtle details to an even broader sweet spot.
K8 standalone monitors are individually powered and can be used to set up a mono, stereo and surround system. A vintage-style VU meter constantly indicates the input level even when the speaker is muted. For users who prefer monitoring over headphone, AKG K872 reference headphone is a perfect match to NANO K8: both of the two share the same design elements and the acknowledged high fidelity.
NANO K8 steps out of line for its contemporary design: greyish brown cabinet, red-colored cone surround on the front, music-themed silhouette on the rear. For easier control of the system, K8 has its power switch and volume control front accessible.
A combination of design, usability and performance, NANO K8 strives to bring you the monitoring experience beyond your expectation.
