Amplification Warning

KRK publishes "Max SPL: 104dB" for one speaker, and no sensitivity in dB/W/m — an active monitor has no meaningful one-watt sensitivity, because the watt is delivered by its own amplifier. The 5.12 kOhm is a line input load and is deliberately not recorded as nominal impedance; note it is unusually low for a balanced input, low enough to load a passive volume control or a tube output stage.
