KRK RP5 Rokit G4 Studio Monitor, Black (RP5G4-NA)

Product Information

The KRKs, meanwhile, offer a lot more in terms of frequency tweaking but this makes them harder to get right straight away. There are presets to choose from for various setups which also mean a certain amount of trial and error; otherwise it's a case of using the KRK app and measuring where your room falls down and then tweaking the frequency bands individually to compensate.

That is due to freshly engineered efficient Class-D power amps, which are overall more compact and efficient custom class. The Rokit 5 RP5 G4 powered studio monitor designed speakers are the fourth generation of KRK’s affordable range, and the updated hardware changes look very promising at first glance. To wrap this up - if you're a tall bastard like me (196cm), it is worth noting that monitors would be best suited on stands. I was debating between these and Presonus, bought these out of a very shallow reason... they looked cooler to me The general sound of these speakers is very crisp (except somewhere around 180-260 hz in the low freq area where I can feel a slight amplifiying in these speakers). This is a good thing because in that area there's usually a build-up in frequencies in songs, accumulated from all the present instruments / channels, that if not take care carefully, your song can sound bad on other reference or non-reference speakers.

The inaccurate low-end, which was so prevalent with the Rokit G3 series, seems to be non-existent in the G4 models. While the physical size and specs might be similar, there are differences between these speakers on a features level. The KRKs have a DSP-driven on-board EQ which lets you adjust the EQ response, so that you can match the speakers to your room, depending on its acoustic property. You also get global speaker settings within this feature, with controls for volume, standby on/off and screen brightness.

If you might be bothered by the vibrations that arise from the Rokit RP5 G4 studio monitor, we recommend getting isolation pads. While a pair might not kill the vibrations completely, it will help you to keep the vibrations at a minimum. The Yamahas have frequency controls for room correction too – Room Control filters to help compensate for speaker-boundary effects and a companion High Trim filter to adjust for an overly damped or live room. While these are simple to adjust and experiment with – there aren't too many options – you don't get anywhere near the depth you get with the KRK EQ. This is going to be a lengthy review - however, not to waste your time, I am not a professional, or a producer, so if you are looking for such a review, you can keep scrolling to find that one (plenty of those around).Flat Low Frequency Adjustment adding versatility and improved accuracy for mixes that translate in different environments Overall the new ROKIT 5 G4 reminds me more of KRK’s V series 4, than the older ROKIT series. First conclusions Experience first-class imaging and a sonically rich acoustic “sweet-spot” thanks to consistent air pressure behaviour. The KRK ROKIT G4 mechanics are tuned to ensure optimum performance for all studio situations. Monitor, adjust and perfect The KRK RP5 G4 Studio Monitors are engineered to deliver the best listening experience possible. Boasting the same quality that made the previous generation so integral to your studio, the RP5 G4 still manages to work in new features. Matching Kevlar drivers ensure durability and unwavering quality, while a built-in LCD displays EQ information for incredible visualisation.

The front-ported design of the KRK Systems Rokits is still intact, but the front firing port design has been made taller and wider. Moving up in size, the KRK Rokit RP7 increases the enclosure size and uses a 7” woofer. There are now 145 watts of power available, with a maximum sound pressure level of 110dB. Most smaller studio spaces (and not so small!) won’t need any more than this. According to KRK, the substance has a notable impact on improving the monitor’s damping capabilities, reducing resonance issues, as well as minimizing the levels of sonic integrity distortion. Because the low-drivers are 5'', you cannot hear the sub-bass that much (as in 6'' or 8'' woofers).The wake-up is not immediate, so don’t fret if your powered studio monitor units take a few seconds to shake off the snooze. In Use Credit: KRK Systems Add the KRK Classic 5 to your home studio setup with this handybundle. Featuring two KRK Classic 5 active studio monitors, isolation pads, and cables. Here's What KRK Say About Classic 5 Time-Tested The speakers them selves are very delicate so if you have children or a cat/animal that can get to them they can be easily damaged suggest keeping at high points away from reach of anyone other than you. The volume knob on the monitors is at 10-15%, if I crank the volume knob on the audio interface, it becomes way too loud (hello neighbors), so these monitors WILL get loud, but unless you overdo it - they are perfectly tame for normal levels. For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

The KRK Rokit 5 G4's EQ extras won it two categories – features and setup. This extra flexibility to tweak the speakers to your room – and its fantastic implementation – just seems so head and shoulders above what the Yamaha offers (and just about anything else at this price point) that it almost makes it a done deal for the KRKs. There are four presets, plus a flat frequency response option, both in the low and high EQ registers. Other than that, the G4 now has an actual LCD screen located on the rear panel. It took the place of the previous version’s volume and EQ knobs. Soft-dome tweeter with optimised waveguide provides smooth, pristine and articulate highs up to 35kHz So, the whole 4 th Generation of Rokit monitors have these upgrades, but how do you know which pair is right for you and your particular setup?
