RP5 RoKit Classic : Perfect for Home Mixing and Monitoring

8 years ago

Overall:

To start of with my room has weird angles but i placed the monitors so the back of them were facing straight wall. So initially i wasn't expecting a great sound to come out from them. (This is also without any room insulation.) However despite all those flaws in my room, the sound was amazing to say the least, it was clear, perfect bass response and every frequency was clear.

Features:

I was indecisive between the M-Audio BX8 D2 and these KRK's. The reason i liked the M-Audio was due to its 8'' woofer and i like my bass nice and loud. However the downside of those monitors were the lack of features. I knew the sound i got was the sound i got and couldn't alter it. THEN i looked at the KRK, had all the features i wanted however it had a 5'' woofer. After much reading i chose these and i was NOT disappointed. Cant believe how such a little woofer can create so much bass. And with the added pads under the KRK they sounded 10x better. (t.akustik Iso-Pad 5)

Use:

I use them for all my work. However these are for close monitoring, so they may be insanely loud for their size but you can't expect to have a party with these. On occasion i play some music in them and jam with my kit and the monitors are still manage to overcome the loudness from the drum kit. But my main use is for my electronic/chilled rock in Logic and Pro Tools, and for that its a beauty.

Pro's:

- Amazing sound quality, very sound

- Very well built

- Great features

- Interior padding

- Great Bass coming from 5'' woofer

- AMAZING Price

Cons:

- Cant find any so far and I've had them for a few months

Told my friend to buys these as well and he too was not disappointed. Loved them.
