Even More Accurate than Before
We took a great monitor series and made it better. Our 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 our world-class studio monitor
engineering team, for clear, low-distortion performance. Other cool stuff that has gone into
the G2s are :
Recessed Tweeters – Our recessed tweeters may look the same as others, but they
don't perform the same. Our careful design of dome and waveguide geometry coupled to
the curved front baffle are optimized for on and off-axis linearity resulting in excellent
imaging and a wider sweet spot.
High Frequency Level Control – While your Generation 2 RoKit leaves the factory
voiced to our 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.
Gain Structure – Our gain structure is engineered for the studio and not the
showroom. We don’t add excessive gain to make the monitors appear to play
louder – which by the way, also adds significant hiss to the monitor system.
The Generation 2 RoKit comes with an Input Volume Control that provides an adjustable gain
range from +6dB to -30dB. What that means to you is No Pain With Gain.
Bi-Amplified System – A great sounding monitor doesn’t stop with a great cabinet
and custom drivers. Our true bi-amplified system provides discrete low-distortion power for
each driver. Our active crossover systems provide smooth and accurate frequency response.
Got Connections? Yes You Do
At KRK our focus is your mix. But it doesn't stop at creating accurate monitors. We live this
stuff and appreciate the need for monitors that not only sound great but work easily with
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, 1/4 inch (balanced/unbalanced) or XLR
inputs you require, RoKit has got you covered.
