KRK Adds the ROKIT Generation Five Studio Monitors
KRK just debuted the ROKIT Generation Five Studio Monitors, offered in three sizes: five, seven, and eight-inch. All three are active, two-way studio reference monitors featuring three new voicing modes, an enhanced tweeter design, and a refreshed LCD. KRK ROKIT Generation Five monitors were created to meet the diverse needs of musicians, composers, producers, and sound engineers by providing the tools to reproduce every nuance of a production with astonishing clarity.
With three voicing modes available, the KRK ROKIT Generation Five Monitors cover all the bases for today’s music makers. Included among these is Mix Mode, which offers a flat frequency and phase response that is ideal for mixing, mastering, and critical listening. Create Mode provides more inspirational voicing and is best used for writing, producing, and casual listening. Finally, Focus Mode has mid-focused voicing for critical analysis of the midrange band, where vocals and instruments have the most energy.
The monitors also feature 25 evolved DSP boundary and tuning EQ combinations that help minimize and correct problems in any acoustic environment. Additionally, the newly designed tweeter benefits from a highly damped acoustic silk dome diaphragm for improved phase performance and an extended frequency range (up to 40 kHz), while the refreshed, amber-colored LCD DSP interface simplifies the calibration process with new tuning options.
The monitors also feature KRK’s iconic woven Kevlar aramid fiber cone woofers for superior damping and modal breakup control and Class D power amplifiers to drive the transducers evenly and more efficiently at reduced operating temperatures to ensure maximum transient response and dynamics reproduction for audio integrity during long work sessions.
Intended for plug-and-play use, each pair of monitors comes with isolation wedges for easy setup. At the same time, integrated mounting points make using them with any wall/ceiling mount solutions simple. Each pair also comes standard with the protective grille installed, while an additional faceplate option without the grille is included to accommodate aesthetic preferences.
