It's not enough to design studio monitors that are affordable and cause a great impression - something that KRK always did. The brand earned its reputation through a rich history of innovation and precision, which now endures in Nashville, as Gibson continues to build off this legacy - and there's a reason why KRK is the only non-guitar related business that Gibson didn't sell.
The newest addition to KRK's impressive range of professional audio solutions, the ROKIT Generation Five Studio Monitors are offered in three sizes — five, seven, and eight-inch. These active, two-way designs were created to meet the diverse needs of musicians, composers, and producers, by providing the tools needed to reproduce every nuance of music with clarity.
"Featuring KRK’s world-renowned sound along with new technology and tuning parameters to truly dial-in the listening experience, the KRK ROKIT Generation Five is a must-have studio solution for the most demanding creators," says Sterling Doak, Senior Director of Marketing for Gibson. "KRK engineers continually pull from the brand's legacy of trust and performance to refine its studio monitors — blending cutting-edge technology with the time-tested principles of audio engineering. The same holds true for this latest development. As the most advanced monitor in its class, the KRK ROKIT Generation Five is powerful enough to handle the rigors of professional use but basic enough for emerging producers, engineers, and artists."
With three voicing modes available, the KRK ROKIT Generation Five Monitors cover all the bases for today's music makers. Mix Mode offers a flat frequency and phase response for mixing 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 and is a great choice for recording sessions at higher volumes.
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 40kHz), while the refreshed, amber-colored LCD DSP interface simplifies the calibration process with new tuning options.
All three models 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. The combination of drivers and power ensures maximum transient response and dynamics reproduction for audio integrity during long work sessions.
Intended for plug-and-play use, each pair of monitors also comes with a set of foam isolation wedges for easy setup, while integrated mounting points make it simple to use them with any wall/ceiling mount solutions. Each pair also comes standard with the protective grille installed, while an additional faceplate option without the grille is included to accommodate aesthetic preferences.
