Accuracy, Bass Response, and Reliability in an Affordable Studio Monitor

The KRK Rokit8G2 lets you trust what you're hearing in the studio - at a price you can afford. Offering impressive accuracy, bass response, and reliability, the KRK Rokit8G2 occupies the top slot in the second generation of KRK's value-packed Rokit active 2-way studio monitor series. The Rokit series has attracted a loyal following of working pros around the globe; the G2 iteration builds upon this success with a host of performance-enhancing innovations. Fitted with an 8" glass-aramid-composite cone woofer (in KRK signature yellow, naturally) and bi-amped with a muscular 90 watts, the Rokit8G2 delivers impressive bass performance and the ability to crank up the volume when the mood (or a client) dictates. Want to really feel your music? For a more extended low end and even greater dynamic range, consider adding a KRK10S subwoofer.

The KRK Rokit8G2 serves up a stable, highly detailed stereo image, courtesy of several G2 design enhancements working together. A redesigned front baffle virtually eliminates diffraction distortion, while the 8G2's neodymium soft-dome tweeter is recessed into a waveguide that provides optimal high-frequency pattern control. A generous complement of inputs (XLR, 1/4", RCA), along with an input trim, ensures optimal gain structure at any monitoring volume. With all this going for it, the Rokit8G2 is an exceptional value at its price point - but once you mix through a pair, you'll wonder how you ever got along without them!

KRK Rokit8G2 Active Studio Monitor Features at a Glance:
  • Radically curved front-plate design improves monitoring accuracy
  • Waveguide contour affords amazing detail and imaging
  • Front-firing port provides low-frequency extension without boundary coupling
  • 1" neodymium soft-dome tweeter

Best Monitors in its Price Range, HANDS DOWN!

by Chigozie Ezenagu from Dayton, OH

I bought these monitors a little while ago and I wanted to have my own in depth personal experience first so I could be able to share a candid review. First off, if you stumbled upon this page looking... read more [+] for a pair of monitors that suits your budget, you will be making a huge mistake browsing elsewhere. The only reason you should look at other monitors is if you don't produce bass heavy genres such as hip-hop and electronica. The Rokit 5s and Rokit 6s will produce the same results for a cheaper price, however it will be harder to monitor heavy basses. So if you're not in the genres I just mentioned, then you should look at those models (or you could still get these because the bass really does kick =) ).
The Rokit 8s (or any KRK monitor) really are the prime definiton of GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out), for whatever you hear coming from them, you will hear the same thing on your home stereo, iPod, or in your car. I've produced several tracks since I've had these and on the sites where I post them, people comment on how well the production quality of my mixes sound. And I don't have to cross reference as much as you would with cheaper alternatives (cross referencing is still important though, don't disregard it). Now for some more technical talk.
The bass response on these beauties is amazing. For those who don't have the budget for subwoofers, these definitely will do the trick. The mids are a taaad bit heavier than flat, but it's barely noticeable and with a little time your ears will work around them. The tweeters are very good quality, and you'll hear everything from the audible frequency spectrum that tweeters are intended to produce.
Honestly, I couldn't recommend another pair of monitors in this price range. Heck, since these always get the job done, I don't think I could recommend another pair of monitors period. These things are a complete steal and if you don't consider them then you are making a huge mistake...trust me... close [-]

Outperforms many monitors in this price range

After about 6 months of looking for a pair of monitors I chose these for the front firing bass port. I tried HS80s, Focals, and JBLs. For my room, these sounded the clearest and seem to have the best ... read more [+]features. They may not be the flattest monitors, but if FLAT is what you are looking for, adjust your budget accordingly. I use these in conjunction with the Focusrite VRM box for mixing. The dynamic rage capable on these monitors is really quite spectacular. The only complaint I have is the soundstage is very very wide and I had to put these on stands about 4 feet from my head to really get the most from the low end. There is a sweet spot youll have to find and when you do, you'll be blown away. close [-]

These monitors sound great. Only problem is that they are quite big for a home studio.

there okay if your running through the balanced plug.. If your going to go
RCA connection your going to get a hum from you computer. You'll need
a little piece of gear called the HumX..... read more [+]goes between the cable connections
As far as sound there good with a small pair of speakers I use them with a pair of M-Audio.. The sound is just awesome. If you get these and use a pair of speakers that will pick up the high ends you won't need a sub woofer.. I happy with my purchase close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
