KRK RP5G2 Rokit G2 Powered Studio MonitorThe KRK RP5G2 Rokit G2 Powered Studio Monitor takes this KRK design to new heights.
All of the great stuff that Rokit’s have been known for including front-firing bass port, soft-domed tweeter, glass aramid composite yellow cone are still there, but the G2 Rokit’s feature refined voicing and a new curved baffle that looks great, reduces diffraction and provides even better monitoring accuracy.
KRK RP5G2 Rokit G2 Features
- Radically curved front plate design virtually eliminates diffraction distortion
- Waveguide design provides amazing detail and imaging
- Front-firing port provides low freq extension without boundary coupling
- New speaker voicing for even more accurate frequency response
- 1-inch Neodymium soft dome tweeter
- Glass Aramid Composite Cone Woofer
Even More Accurate Than Before
KRK engineers and listening panel took the Generation 2 Rokits’ speaker voicing to even more accurate levels. What you hear is what you are intended to hear, coloration is not part of the spec. This performance is brought to you by drivers that are custom-designed by KRK's world-class studio monitor engineering team, for clear, low-distortion performance.
The Recessed tweeters may look the same, but they don't perform the same. KRK has designed a superior tweeter wave guide for the Rokit that provides optimal high frequency pattern control and focuses the sound outward, away from the cabinet. More conventional designs direct sound along the plane of the cabinet where waveform interaction can cause phase problems and increased diffraction. KRK knows a properly engineered high frequency wave guide is a critical component to great sound, and one key to their award winning performance.
Also available as package KRK RP5G2 PAK2 which includes: mic stands, mics, cables and headphones.

| | | Subject: | KRK RP5G2 stands above the rest! | | Quality:
| The Rocket G2's have a professional look right out of the box. Extremely high quality construction over and beyond higher priced models of it's size. | | Features:
| The front firing port is the key to it's success for me. Small home studios don't always allow for correct monitor placement or are in a room that's not necessarily designed as a mixdown suite. You can place the speakers right on your desk top or speaker stands up against a wall with no bass phasing issues. The bass response is always consistent from one mix to another. | | Ease of Use:
| Turn on. Plug-in. Turn up. Listen and enjoy your mixes without having your monitors get in the way. | | Sound:
| I have heard all of the options that are comparable in price and size. M-audio, Mackie, Behringer, Alesis, Yamaha, Tannoy. The KRK RP5G2 out performs them in every way.
First, the bass response is extremely tight and accurate. Remember the front firing bass port? It doesn't sound bass heavy like others do but there is a surprising amount of low information. Second, there is no annoying mid-range bump in the vocal range like many other 5 inch monitors have. Vocals sound smooth and natural. The high frequencies are comparable to a monitor 3 times the price and have little fatigue on your ears when listening for long periods of time. The curved edges really do what they boast, widening the sweet spot. When I first powered them up I played a few songs that are well respected as some of the cleanest recordings made. I actually heard things in the mix that I hadn't heard on other budget minded monitors. | | Reliability:
| I've only had them for two weeks. | | Overall:
| I've been a live sound engineer for twenty years. I've seen high quality gear and I've seen poor design and construction. I've been in recording studios with high dollar monitors so I know what the big boys are listening to. Just recently I've started multi-tracking with Cubase. The RP5G2's are undoubtably the highest quality and best sound for your money if you are on a tight budget. They are a true representation of what you are tracking.
Don't let the small size fool you. These monitors get loud if you want them to. However, I find myself not listening to them at loud volumes because they have the same response at low levels. And don't worry, there's plenty of bass.
Don't waste your time or money with any other budget conscious monitors. These are the ones to have! I bought them without hearing them just on the amazing reviews and the KRK name. The reviews were right and I couldn't be happier with my decision. | | Do you own this product?:
