KRK Launches ROKIT Generation Five Studio Monitors
With three voicing modes available, the KRK ROKIT Generation Five Monitors cover all the bases for
today's music makers
As the unwavering cornerstone of professional audio monitoring for over three decades, KRK
earned
its reputation through a rich history of innovation and precision. Building off this legacy,
Gibson
introduced the newest addition to KRK's impressive range of professional audio solutions: the
ROKIT
Generation Five Studio Monitors. Offered in three sizes - five, seven, and eight-inch -
these
advanced, active, two-way studio reference monitors feature three new voicing modes, an enhanced
tweeter design, and a refreshed LCD.
KRK ROKIT Generation Five monitors were created to meet the diverse needs of musicians,
composers,
producers, and sound engineers by providing the tools needed to reproduce every nuance of a
production with astonishing 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. Included among these is Mix Mode, which offers a flat frequency and phase
response that is ideal for mixing, mastering, 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.
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 40 kHz), while the refreshed, amber-colored LCD DSP interface simplifies the
calibration process with new tuning options.
The monitors 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 to ensure 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 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.
