However, with decent powered studio monitors, there shouldn’t be a need for dialing in drastic EQ changes anyhow. Soft-dome tweeter with optimized waveguide provides smooth, pristine and articulate highs up to 35kHz Factory installed under-monitor foam pad provides isolation between the speaker and surface for improved clarity Essentially it boils down to the fact that we would be happy to use them as studio monitors if we had to. The additional customization options are also very neat. Another claim is that the KRK Rokit RP5 G4 line series minimizes listening fatigue, which is an important factor. That is not very easy to compare and verify, but as the other claims seem to be based on truth, we take it that long sessions should be more enjoyable on the G4 models than on the G3 speakers.

This is going to be a lengthy review - however, not to waste your time, I am not a professional, or a producer, so if you are looking for such a review, you can keep scrolling to find that one (plenty of those around). While the previous 3rd-generation ROKITs used a glass aramid woofer design, for the new RPG4 models, KRK is using woven Kevlar. Previously this material was reserved for the company’s midline and high-end models in the V and Expos é series. The 1″ tweeter, which was previously a 1″ soft dome design, is now made of matching yellow woven Kevlar as well. Looks, power, and specs The material that has gone into building the KRK Rokit RP5 G4 has also been selected carefully and deliberately to fit a given function. These studio monitors offer a very good build with premium quality materials. When you touch or lift these studio monitors, you'll notice that they feel durable, compact, and well-designed with a gist look. The outer case of the studio monitors is also very well made. It was developed to ensure that there is very low resonance in the unit. This aspect ensures that the low-ends in the monitors are smooth and punchy without any unnecessary build-up.

Input Sensitivity: Unbalanced Signal Input, Gain +11dB: -10dBV; Balanced Signal Input, Gain 0dB: +4dBu A new low resonance speaker enclosure features a revamped front-firing port, offering exceptional low-end extension, punch and flexible room-positioning. High density open cell acoustic Iso-foam pads decouple the speaker from the surface minimizing vibration transmission for improved clarity. While the physical size and specs might be similar, there are differences between these speakers on a features level. The KRKs have a DSP-driven on-board EQ which lets you adjust the EQ response, so that you can match the speakers to your room, depending on its acoustic property. You also get global speaker settings within this feature, with controls for volume, standby on/off and screen brightness. Sitting next to the Rokit RP range are these KRK Classic 5 speakers. Though not part of the G4 range, they are a very popular alternative to Rokit 5 speakers. The new ROKIT 5 G4 has an improved high end that is more open and detailed than that of previous models. It is accomplished without being shrill or piercing; the word that comes to mind is ‘comfortable.’ I am guessing this has much to do with the use of Kevlar tweeters in the line.

The digital precision with which one can set each KRK Rokit G4 monitor’s volume is beneficial, especially when pairing and calibrating your speakers.

That allows for a good amount of experimenting, but it does not give users the choice to boost or cut frequencies completely as they please. The Rokit RP5 G4 has a good frequency response that stands at 43 to 40 kHz. This offers a good spread across the frequency spectrum, ensuring that your sound is well balanced out. It can also stand up to 104dB of sound pressure level (SPL). Even at this point, the Rokit RP5 G4 is still very loud and clear with a consistent sound that is meaty and with no distortions. Whether you like that is up to how you run your audio tools setup, but in the case that you prefer to connect your stereo via line inputs, there are always adapter options you can count on. That is due to freshly engineered efficient Class-D power amps, which are overall more compact and efficient custom class. Both sets of speakers are designed for use as compact monitors, perhaps on a desktop, and they both fulfil this brief very well, and are suitable for any studio situation where space is at a premium.

The Rokit series from KRK have been incredibly popular over the years for providing high quality sound at an affordable price point. With the Rokit now on its 4th generation KRK are carrying on this winning formula whilst continuing to improve on an already impressive monitor.

The sub-frequencies are actually audible, but you really need to position the speakers perfectly in your studio room, with at least 60-80 cm distanced from you, at your left and right, so the low frequencies can have space to reach your ear.
