KRK Systems, a division of Gibson Brands, claims to be the #1 brand globally in studio monitors and its affordable ROKIT powered models certainly have contributed for that claim. KRK now introduced two new Generation 3 ROKIT powered studio monitors, all featuring the same carefully designed cabinet shape, including the ROKIT 4, the smallest speaker in the line, and the ROKIT 10-3 Three-Way, which offers midfield monitor performance and a larger sound.

KRK Systems, part of Gibson Pro Audio, expanded its popular ROKIT G3 (Generation 3) powered studio monitor line with two new models, complementing the already available three models, featuring 5, 6 and 8-inch woofers. Both the new and existing models feature cabinets with rounded edges to reduce distortion from diffraction, low-resonance enclosures for minimized distortion and colorization and front firing ports for low-frequency extension while reducing boundary coupling.

As with all Generation 3 ROKIT studio monitors, the ROKIT 4 has both high and low-frequency level controls along with balanced XLR, TRS, and unbalanced RCA inputs. This all adds up to a flexible studio monitor with accurate, defined sound which is intended to faithfully reproduce music and accurately translate mixes when played over other systems.
According to Gibson Pro Audio Senior Product Marketing Manager Andrew Beard, “Music professionals have asked us to make a quality, compact studio monitor that could easily be taken anywhere. Our answer is the new ROKIT 4, which has everything that makes the ROKIT series great—just smaller. This series also has color options with the mobile and home studio in mind: original black, white, and silver.”

Also announced as part of KRK’s ROKIT Generation 3 is the new ROKIT 10-3 three-way powered monitor. Designed to fill even the biggest studio control room, post-production suite, or mastering facility with rich, detailed sound, the ROKIT 10-3 includes all the features of KRK’s ROKIT Generation 3 series, as well as new voicing technology based on feedback from recording professionals.

As Andrew Beard explains, “what makes the ROKIT 10-3 G3 unique is that it provides midfield features and performance at a nearfield monitor price, and incorporates the refinements that have made the Generation 3 ROKIT line so popular. With the 10-3, KRK has answered the needs of professionals who want speakers that don’t just sound good, but sound right.”
