KRK RP5G2 Rokit G2 Details Whether you're just starting out in desktop recording, or
you've already laid down a few thousand tracks, you've probably heard
about KRK Rokit Powered Studio Monitors. After all, for years the Rokit
has been a popular choice for accurate monitoring in home and project
studios large and small. Rokit enthusiasts include guitar and bass
players, electronic musicians and re-mixers, beginning artists and
industry professionals.
But now is a great time to
check out the all-new, Rokit Generation 2 Powered Studio Monitors.
Generation 2 Rokits set a new standard with even better performance and
accuracy, raising the bar once again. So "getting ahead of the curve"
means even more than ever. Check out all the key technologies below, an
expanded definition of key Features and Benefits are just a click away
too. KRK RP5G2 Rokit G2 Features
- New KRK Proprietary Woofers And Tweeters - Speakers,
crossovers and amplifiers are tuned for maximum performance: Improved
top end frequency response, increased articulation, better imaging,
faster attack times, less distortion. The 1" Neodymium Soft Dome
tweeter is more natural and less harsh than metal-domed tweeters,
resulting in reduced ear fatigue and more natural mixes. The Glass
Aramid Composite Cone Woofer maximizes excursion performance without
compromising reliability and minimizes distortion. We’ve even
improved the speaker voicing of new Rokit (no simple feat considering
how great Rokit’s have always been in this regard). Simply put, RokitG2
is the most accurate monitor in its price range.
- New Radically Curved Front Baffle Design - Our new Rokits
look different, so they can sound better, and in a wider "sweet spot".
Traditional rectangular speakers with square or slightly rounded edges
suffer from diffraction as sounds leaving the edge of the cabinet are
reflected back into the original sound field, and at different time
intervals. This phase distortion creates a "narrow" or boxy" sound. The
Rokit Generation 2 Series eliminates this issue with radically
engineered curved surfaces, so diffraction is virtually eliminated.
Simply put, you'll get better sound in a wider area.
- Recessed High Frequency Waveguide - KRK has designed a
superior tweeter waveguide 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 waveguide
is a critical component to great sound, and one key to our award
winning performance.
- Bi-Amplified Design with Active Crossover - Power Up! A
great sounding monitor doesn’t stop with a great cabinet and custom
drivers. Our true bi-amplified amplifier system provides discrete
low-distortion power for each driver. While our active crossover
systems provide smooth and accurate frequency response, and again,
accurate diffraction control.
- Newly Designed Rigid Wood Cabinet - While the radically
designed curved front panel with flush and radius surfaces provide
excellent imaging characteristics and a much wider sweet spot, the new
Rokit’s rigid wood cabinet construction improves overall structural
integrity, extended low frequency response and increased damping
characteristics.
- Multiple Input Options - You’ve Got Connections, At KRK
our focus is your mix. But it doesn't stop at creating accurate
monitors. We live this stuff and appreciate the need for monitors that
not only sound great but work easily into your particular set up.
That's why you'll find plenty of input options with your Rokit sure to
accommodate any studio environment. So if it's RCA, Quarter-Inch
(balanced/unbalanced) or XLR inputs you require, Rokit has got you
covered.
- High Frequency Level Control - While your Rokit
Generation 2 leaves the factory voiced to our demanding specs, KRK also
knows that no two rooms "sound" the same. As such, each comes equipped
with a High Frequency Level Control. This feature provides specific
adjustment of high frequency output most commonly affected by room
acoustics. It's just one extra level of control that KRK gives you to
ensure the most accurate mix for your particular room's acoustics.
- Front-Firing Port - Take a look at competitive monitors
and you'll find ports on the back of the cabinet. These rear-firing
ports tend create bass coupling with walls and corners amplifying low
frequency information which will color your mix. Just like it’s big
brothers (VXT and Expose) the G2 Rokits include front-firing ports,
which are just the right shape and taper to reduce port turbulence.
You'll appreciate the clean and accurate bass performance, this
approach delivers, even at high SPL’s.
- Input Gain Control - Why compromise gain structure to
achieve a comfortable listening level? As musicians and recording
people ourselves, we know that your monitor has to play nice with other
components in your system, which is why we gave RokitG2 an
ultra-compatible Input Volume Control that provides an adjustable gain
range from +6dB to -30dB. Just another way RokitG2 lets you focus on
your mix, and not on compatibility concerns.
