What customers say about "Key Specs"

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 RP6 G3 Rockit Powered Studio Monitor

Bought 2 for bedroom music production. Fantastic monitors for the price!
Perfect for general listening to music production in the bedroom.
Loud and bassy for its size, would highly recommend it.
These monitors pack a serious punch for a fraction of what other big name monitoring equipment costs.
73 watts each, produce just as much dB as you can possibly need.

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 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.

KRK RP6 G3 Rockit Powered Studio Monitor

They have excellent range and if you need to turn them up they are more than capable of the job.
Perfect sound. Good low frequencies
These are without a doubt the best sounding speakers I’ve EVER heard! Absolutely beautiful, crisp sound!
I LOVE amazing sound and these deliver big time!
I’ve had these for several months and they amaze me every single day! Absolutely beautiful sound output!

What customers say about "Features"

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.

KRK RP6 G3 Rockit Powered Studio Monitor

One feature that I really liked is that the speaker go to sleep mode (amplifier turns off) if no signal is detected within 20 minutes.
Clarity, excellent bass without any adjustments to the dials on the back, perfect for a studio or just for listening to music!
I like the small adjustments you can make to the high and low end.
I love the full connectivity options on the back, as well as the HF/LF adjustment knobs - since they make the speakers also suitable for entertainment use.
The fact that the acoustic port is on the front, which prevents wall reflection, is another feature i love for my limited space.
