KRK's glass-aramid cone technology ensures solid performance and incredible accuracy!
KRK's Rokit G2 (Generation 2) powered studio monitor
is designed to give amazing performance and accuracy for the home or
project studio. The G2 Rokit studio monitor has radically curved edges
which virtually eliminate diffraction and provides a wider sweet spot.
The Rokit G2 monitor also features a great looking cabinet with a
front-firing bass port and KRK's trademark yellow glass-aramid composite
woofer and soft-domed tweeters. Dual high-power amplifiers in each
speaker and active crossovers provide smooth and accurate reproduction.
The Rokit monitor has the most accurate response curve in its class
ensuring that you hear all of the details in your mix.
The KRK
RokitG2 Series takes value-priced monitors to a new performance level.
All of the great stuff that Rokit monitors have been known for
(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.
Welcome to the all new Generation 2 RoKit Powered
Studio
Monitor Series from KRK Systems. For years the Rokit series has been a
popular choice for accurate monitoring in studios large and small. Now
the all new Generation 2 Rokit monitor provides a new standard for even
better performance and accuracy, raising the bar once again.
No Pain With Gain
Why
compromise gain structure to achieve a comfortable listening level? As
musicians and recording people themselves, KRK asked that question too.
So each Generation 2 Rokit monitor comes with an Input Volume Control
that provides an adjustable gain range from +6dB to -30dB. Just another
way Rokit lets you focus on your mix, and not on compatibility concerns.
Catch A Wave, For A 3D Mix
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 KRK's
award winning performance.
You've Got Connections
At
KRK, the focus is your mix. But it doesn't stop at creating accurate
monitors. KRK appreciates 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, Rockit has got you covered.
Even More Accurate Than Before
KRK
took a great monitor series and made it better. KRK's engineers and
listening panel took the Generation 2 Rokit's 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.
Take Control
While
your Generation 2 Rokit leaves the factory voiced to demanding specs,
KRK also knows that no two rooms "sound" the same. As such, each Rokit
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.
Don't Be Square, Curves Ahead
The
new Rockit monitor looks different, so it can sound better, and in a
wider "sweet spot". Traditional rectangular speakers 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 Generation 2
Rokit monitor 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.
Let's Be Up Front
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. The superior design of the KRK Generation 2 Rokit monitors 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 SPLs.
Power Up!
A
great sounding monitor doesn't stop with a great cabinet and custom
drivers. KRK's true bi-amplified amplifier system provides discrete
low-distortion power for each driver. While the active crossover systems
provide smooth and accurate frequency response, and again, accurate
diffraction control.
Note: Monitors are sold as singles.
