KRK Ergo stands for Enhanced Room Geometry Optimization. KRK Ergo was designed to deliver an affordable digital room analysis and correction system. Ergo consists of the Ergo unit, a microphone and control/ analysis software. These three pieces are used to measure, analyze and control phase and frequency problems within a listening environment.
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 the KRK ERGO.
Room correction products aren’t new, but thank goodness KRK 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. The KRK 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.
The sophisticated room analysis and correction system within the KRK ERGO, called “RoomPerfect” was developed by Lyngdorf Audio in Denmark aftter many years of R&D work. The patented algorithm in the system compares many measurements and corrects for phase and frequency problems using thousands of filters, not just a few. The result is the most accurate mix. ERGO, analyze this!
