There are a lot of great sounds out there - whether they come
from professional musicians or a regular Joe trying to unwind
from the stresses of life. But, there aren’t always great rooms, or
studios, to back up that sound. ERGO was developed after years
of listening to the same comments - that mixes don’t sound the
same outside of the studio. And, true, there are several other
room correction products out there already. But, typically they’re
only analyzing and correcting 1-8 EQ points. ERGO uses
multiple measurements and thousands of EQ points to control
your audio environment. Our 3D model allows you to preserve
the “good” characteristics of the room, while correcting the bad.
ERGO doesn’t color the sound or produce an artificially sterile
environment. So after using ERGO, you will hear the difference.
You will be able to “trust” the sound of your room, concentrate
on your music, mix faster and accurately, and create mixes that
will properly translate to other listening environments. That’s why
KRK developed ERGO. Because really, how good is a great track
that only sounds great in your room?
