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

Product Information

That is by no means a rule, but it is worth keeping in mind that for some rooms, smaller monitors coupled with a sub can be the better choice, rather than two large near-field monitors. The speakers that come installed in the Rokit RP5 G4 are not hi-fi speakers. They, therefore, color the sound just a little. Despite this, the fact that they are not hi-fi speakers makes them the best option for monitoring, even better than some of the best-specialized headphones in the game. Note that these monitors are not also designed to fill a room with sound. They are simply near-field monitors. The further you go, the lower the audio will sound. Their woofers can move faster and translate dynamics efficiently, as opposed to some entry-level speakers measuring 7-inches and wider. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail.

KRK have been at the top of the nearfield monitor game for a while, so we are now into the 4 th generation of Rokit speaker. What kinds of improvements can we expect on the industry standard? Well, here’s a brief rundown of what’s relative to all of the G4 monitors: As mentioned, I was sent the new ROKIT 5 G4 and I am fortunate enough to still have access to the ROKIT 5 G2 that I reviewed in April 2008, and the G3 reviewed in December 2013. I set all of the models up side-by-side in my studio to my Drawmer MC3.1 monitor controller, and used a level meter and test tones to match levels.The KRK Rokit G4s have been engineered to ensure top quality sound. This monitor has a matching woofer and tweeter designed by KRK for a balanced, unified sound. With DSP-driven room tuning and a 25 visual graphic EQ you can take full advantage of the sound quality by tuning in the perfect sound to match the acoustics in your environment. The custom Class D power amplifier at the heart of this monitor is a new design that drives the speakers in a more even and efficient way meaning there’s less wasted energy resulting in a clearer sound. 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).

The redesigned power amps, drivers, and cabinets play a big part in this because the G3 model was a whole different story. Our test made us shake off old preconceptions and find new respect for the Rokit G4 range of speakers.Both sets of speakers are designed for use as compact monitors, perhaps on a desktop, and they both fulfil this brief very well, and are suitable for any studio situation where space is at a premium. Once you get a song sounding good on these speakers, after hours of working on them, the song will definitely sound excellent on all other references, because they're very linear.

In this EQ section you press the Volume rotary to access different functions and can individually tailor each frequency band or choose from 25 settings. This is best used with the free KRK Audio Tools app which helps you identify anomalies in your room, which you then compensate for by adjusting the EQ on the speaker, and is a great, flexible and somewhat rare inclusion with a speaker of this price. Whether you like that is up to how you run your audio tools setup, but in the case that you prefer to connect your stereo via line inputs, there are always adapter options you can count on. 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.Flat Low Frequency Adjustment adding versatility and improved accuracy for mixes that translate in different environments Lastly the ROKIT 5 G4 has great headroom—it can really crank, and does so with great clarity and low distortion. Here I noticed that when compared to the older models, as it went from moderate to loud, it did not compress or collapse in on itself. Specially redesigned enclosure with powerful front-projected port for improved low-end reproduction. The car listening test solidified the claim that the new KRK model can be confidently mixed and mastered on. Front-firing port with optimized low frequency tuning alignment for the best possible transient response and extension
