KRK Rokit 5 G4 Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The KRK Rokit series has long been a popular choice for the home studio.  With the latest incarnation – the G4s, we have the same classic look, but with improved sound and some innovative features. With a 5-inch woofer, these are a great choice for the compact home studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are they?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

KRK systems was founded in 1986, and since then have built a reputation for high-end professional studio monitors with clear, accurate sound.  The Rokit series of studio monitors are a budget-friendly range designed to bring premium sound to the home studio market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KRK Rokit RP5 G4s are active nearfield studio monitors. They’re bi-amped, meaning they use separate dedicated amplifiers to power the woofer and the tweeter.  The woofer is 5 inches wide – and ideal size for the smaller room.  The speakers are front-ported, which allows them to be placed around the room with ease without causing problems in the low range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The G4 in the model name stands for 4th Generation.  This version has updated materials for a noticeably improved sound.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also makes use of DSP technology, with a graphic display offering a range of EQ shaping options.  This is ideal for anyone with a small or untreated room, as you can adjust the sound to suit the room acoustics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature provides you with far more control than you’d normally expect on entry level studio monitors. Let\u2019s see how it performs in the KRK Rokit 5 G4 review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bear in mind that the KRK Rokit 5 G4s are sold individually – not as a pair.  In the box the monitor is well-protected by foam padding. It also contains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
