KRK UPGRADES ROKIT POWERED STUDIO MONITORS

This next generation of the Rokit remains true to its predecessor while providing a sleeker, more modern look that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. A key component to the new look is the molded front baffle, a design feature that helps reduce, if not eliminate, diffraction distortion caused by standard flat baffles. 

The new units' curved front baffle was engineered to minimize diffraction of high-frequencies, resulting in a sweet spot that is significantly larger than products with square or lightly rounded baffles. The baffle also houses a molded front-facing bass port that minimizes low-frequency phase distortion and unwanted frequency emphasis typical of rear-facing bass ports. The end result is a harmonious yet accurate blend of low and high-frequency components that result in a more accurate speaker. Additionally, the Rokit G2's voicing has been slightly enhanced to provide better mix clarity and precision.

Pricing is $149, $199 and $249 for the 5-, 6- and 8-inch versions, respectively.
