KRK RP4 G3 Rockit Powered Studio Monitor, Silver

For being the smallest monitors of this KRK model line, these 4 inch speakers pack a punch and provide ultra clarity for mixing and recording.
Compared to G2, the cabinet has been redesigned (the form has become more solid), and also the shape of the phase inverter has been changed.
I got the KRK Rokit 4 and was mindblown the first time I used them.
Much more detail was heard, the sound became more powerful and cleaner. The bass is deep enough for this size. Monitors are 100% worth their money.
Very nice play. Together with a good sound card, it is a pleasure to listen. Beautiful design. Bleed flat in full.

KRK RP5 G3 Rockit Powered Studio Monitor

The cabinets have lots of rounded edges and around the tweeter, also a bit of rounding around the bass port all this adds up to cleaner and more even frequencies.
The speakers themselves are absolutely insane, I don't think you could get better quality if you tried.
Did a lot of research on budget active monitors. Was choosing between the m-audio bx5 d2. Decided to go for the g3 rokit 5. very happy.
Very clear. Nice coverage at the bass frequencies and gives a good flat response.
They reproduce your music the way it was designed to be heard; Faithfully! Even though these monitors are nuetral, they really handle bass frequencies well for a 5 woofer.

KRK RP4 G3 Rockit Powered Studio Monitor, Silver

Small but loud and clear. Great present for my son, he has one and wanted another
I don't have much space so these little beauties are perfect. Fantastic power & sound.
Excellent small near field monitors
They are great for there size! bass is nice and deep, highs are crisp and clear, for my production studio they are great so far!
Obviously they look fantastic as well. Really happy i made this purchase.

KRK RP5 G3 Rockit Powered Studio Monitor

Quite amazing speakers.. incredible sound quality, latest hardware inside, intelligent design both electronically and aesthetically, and remarkably powerful too.
I am very pleased with the build quality of the KRK RP5 speaker and i will be buying another one.
These are much clearer, although they were also quite a bit larger than I was expecting.
Love my KRK's! All pros no cons. In white with yellow accents looks superb.
It small size is really great as it doesn't take up much real estate on your desk. Would recommend.

What customers say about "Audio"

KRK RP4 G3 Rockit Powered Studio Monitor, Silver

Excellent speakers. Got it for my bedroom DJ setup. Sounds brilliant for such a setup and plenty powerful for a residential setup.
Nice tight bass, highs are sweet.
I purchased these for my flat screen tv, sound far better then other speakers I've heard at the brick and morter stores
The sound is clear and the stereo effect feels like they are in your head.
The BEST monitor speakers ever, can hear every small sound, perfect for studios.

KRK RP5 G3 Rockit Powered Studio Monitor

For a small size they can fill most small to medium rooms and unlike many speakers the frequency remains the same regardless of volume
I have not taken actual measurements, but my hears are good at detecting any type of noise, and so far I could not hear any noise at all
These are easy to listen to for hours and you do need to fine tune the Hi and Lo EQ knobs to get the best near flat response
These are studio monitors, however I have them at home connected to my decks. The sound quality is brilliant.
These speakers are amazing, really great flat sound, super for mixing and mastering.

What customers say about "Features"

KRK RP4 G3 Rockit Powered Studio Monitor, Silver

I love the control knobs in the back of the speaker so I can adjust without going into my computer.
My first set of bi-amp powered monitors. Stepped up from Mackie CR3s. The clarity and punch are incredible.
I paired them to a KRK 8S Subwoofer, and I’m super happy with the result!
This is better than listening or producing music with headphones.

KRK RP5 G3 Rockit Powered Studio Monitor

They look amazing between the yellow bass cones and the badge that illuminates when on
They have XLR, 6.3mm Jack, and RCA inputs and have tried balanced and unbalanced which makes no or very little difference in the sound.
These really are quality, well built and heavy but sound great, clear punchy basslines and they look amazing too.
The sound quality is very good, the design match every single set up and it is worth the money as I don't think I am going to change them for couple of years now.
Worth the money. Bags of bass. Very nice clarity. Like the colours.
